The Ineos Grenadiers mountain train was again in full effect at the Tour of the Alps, protecting Tao Geoghegan Hart, chasing the breakaway of the day and blunting attacks on the final climb so that the British rider could win stage 2 in Rutten and extend his overall lead.

The sight of five riders lining out and hurting the peloton on the climbs reminded many of when Team Sky rolled out their mountain train to protect Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome as they dominated the Tour de France. Ineos Grenadiers are now dominating the Tour of the Alps.
