Alberto Contador was one more of those who did not understand the tactics of Soudal - Quick-Step during yesterday's stage of the Vuelta a España. The Belgian team had
Mikel Landa being dropped in the Puerto Herrera when the GC fight imploded, but apparent communication issues and controversial decisions saw many comments on if the situation was handled well.
The most incredible thing happened next: with more than 3 minutes lost, Mattia Cattaneo, who was fighting to win the stage in the breakaway group, was stopped. The Italian was rightly angry. Contador doesn't understand what happened: "Either you stop them immediately so that Mikel can come back or when all is lost at least let your rider fight for the stage".
