- This is on both Carapaz and Del Torro and their respective teams they both threw away everything to make sure neither of them could win… blind stupid tactics. Chapeau Simon Yates, cracking ride deserves the win
- He was right not to drag Carapaz closer to Yates, only to blow up his legs and end up 3rd instead of 2nd.
Once Yates connected with Wout, 1st was gone.
- Awesome, Wout! Chapeau!
- Obviously! 😁😁😁😁
- Richie, Richie, more self criticism: Spending all your team launching an attack AT THE BASE OF A 1 HOUR LONG HARD CLIMB, it's not very intelligent and doesn't indicate that you are a genius of the strategic... and you are 32 years old against a 21 y.o. boy.
- I'd say the same about Carapaz, he didn't know how to race well and let Yates go when he could have latched on to his wheel. Del Toro made a mistake but honestly they probably though Yates would come back to them. Missed opportunity for del Toro and Carapaz, but del Toro is 21 and still learning, Carapaz is 32 and probably doesn't have many more chances at another grand tour win. I'm happy for all of them being on the podium and really happy for Yates as he takes his second grand tour, del Toro will have his day soon enough.
- To some extent, I can understand Del Toro remaining on Carapaz's wheel almost throughout the ascent of Finestre. But there is no excuse for him not putting in the utmost effort after the summit, when Yates had a lead of just around 20 seconds on him, which was still bridgeable though difficult.
- Sour grapes!
- Yates you can!!! So happy for him!
- When Van Aert joined the breakaway, my first thought was 'I hope they're telling Del Toro to stay glued to Yates's wheel'. He stuck to the wrong wheel for some reason.
