@InsideOut2912 It's not performance enhancing, it's more of a comfort thing, widening and preventing your nostrils from collapsing when breeding in hard. I really like them, also for sleeping from time to time.

@irishpeloton Well to be honest, this is almost exactly what she said during the TV interview after the stage, can't remember if it was the English or Dutch interview.
@BenjiNaesen I'd say bring Kooij, Kooij is already a "sprinter +" so can doe teamwork. Bring Bol as well for the lead out, Bol has been riding pretty strong on hilly terrain as well this season, strong engine, good for TTT.
