It was total dominance for foreign riders for stage win and GC. Nikita won the first stage and never gave up his advantage. The Korean champ last week took a stage Huby won brutal mountain stages twice.
That result could result in two things: our local riders giving up or being motivated more to try harder.
Yes there were local riders who held their own, but could manage only third and 7th. The foreign juggernaut was overwhelming.
Or should TOL limit the race to locals?
Or practice pa more? More investment in science: nutrition, physiology, aerodynamics
