      I was hoping yates would crack and gee gets on the podium…

      WOW…

      I’m really happy for yates though. I cant imagine carrying that 2018 loss in your mind for so long. Or maybe he already overcame that psychological barrier.

      Also, del toro didnt mention having bad legs in the finish line interview… He just wanted to gamble that carapaz would defend his second place???

      UAE DS should be fired…

        It’s like UAE told Del Toro to stick to Carapaz’s wheel during the prerace bus meeting. And then UAE and Del Toro just stayed the course despite everything.

        A+ for sticking to the plan, F- for adaptability.

        Del Toro’s sprint at the line was cringe to watch. Like, bro, burn that energy earlier when it mattered.

          Yeah, but then its majka’s job to be the road captain and give new instructions. I can just imagine the convo when majka joined del toro in the valley…

          RM: “YOU LET YATES TAKE HOW MANY MINUTES???”
          IDT: “DS told me to stay with carapaz…”
          RM: “OK, we close the gap now. Brandon and i will pace you up the final climb”
          IDT: “nah, i’m good fam…”

          Like, bro, burn that energy earlier when it mattered.

          Everyone is able to do a 5 second flat sprint no matter how tired… It doesnt mean you didnt empty the tank on a climb…

      Unsure if Carapaz will give it another go. I think he’ll probably be satisfied with second and not attack all out unless del Toro shows clear signs of weakness.

      In other words, not a super aggressive stage.

        Another snore fest? Well…

        I guess Carapaz will at least try a little something. I hope a much bigger/earlier one than the 200 m long attack of yesterday in the last (2?) km of the climb before the final one, but we’ll see.

        But one scenario is missing! We didn’t have yet the traditional Giro riders strike! It’s gotta be today or tomorrow 🤣

          Well… I guess we were wrong about it being a snoozefest!

            That was a hell of a stage. Del Toro was either close to cooked or simply not smart tactically. Carapaz was smart to sit up and wait for Del Toro to panic chase, but it just never happened.

              He didn’t seem cooked to me at any point, therefore the second option should be the right one.

              Imagine losing a Grand Tour you lead with some margin: not because you have not the legs and are overpowered in the long run or on multiple short attacks or on an unfavourable terrain; not because you have a bad day on the wrong day; not because there are natural or provoked circumstances that put you in a catastrophic situation; but just because you and your team are a bunch of wallies. 🤣

                Has to be the worst day on the car ever for the DS team at UAE. And conversely the best day ever for whoever was in the Visma car, I hope it’s Jesper Mørkøv (brother of Michael Mørkøv who is now Danish national team coach).
