Same here. McNulty was alone a whole lot of the last 2 stages. Ultimately it's McNulty who can either make it or not (see: Jorgensen in the final stage), but Grosschartner dropping back to help Almeida made no sense whatsoever if that's what that move was. I suspect he just couldn't hold that group's pace.
What a spectacular place to have a bike race.
