Why is it called "The Dutch Turn"?

Because for whatever reason, that's where half the Dutch population and their mother come together

Considering how close he is to yellow, it feels like they want to put Sky under pressure

Yep, with Roglic and Kruijswijk they've got more or less two equal riders (with Roglic being a specialist in one week races, and Kruijswijk having already almost won a 3-week race), so it makes sense to try something like this. If it doesn't work out, there's always Roglic as back-up

Yeah, with triple digit lead, he really needed these DNFs to have any chance...
