  I think that it's far too easy to label these riders as whiners or complainers making up excuses. These are professionals who know a thing or two about what it takes to chase down the break, and I think that they have a valid point. I've seen numerous races where the leading rider(s) have a motorcycle directly in front of them, trying to get that perfect shot, but it does create a draft as well as a slightly unfair advantage.

  It is the lamest of excuses. This was lost by a group of sprint teams that chose not to work when the time came, and won by a breakaway that continued working right to the end. Yes, there were motos ahead of the lead riders; there were also motos ahead of the chasers and everywhere else. That is true of every race, and nothing that happened today was meaningfully different from any other race. The top teams just got it wrong, and paid for it when the break didn't come apart.

  Between Milan and Groenewegen, whoever is not on the top podium step for the day's stage in Rome, will have some explaining to do to their sponsors.

  Remco wears his emotions on his sleeve. Like him or not he’s a genuine article

  T t did not show any crashes in the final 10 km . What is the article talking about

  And in the end, that knowledge is pretty unimportant, especially as a photograph in time.

  Sprint finishes are so heavily influenced by multiple factors (like crashes, boxing in) that it's difficult to know who's actually the one with the best raw power. I still think Milan is the strongest in this Giro, but he got derailed a couple times. So we might never know.

  Unlike Pogačar, Vingegaard can't rely on Pogačar crashing at Itzulia Basque Country. The Tour de Suisse is still coming though, with its dangerous roads.

  I wouldn’t say Jonas is being ‘extra’ conservative, but I stand by the belief he is being conservative to some degree. The team have pushed out official reports, and explained in interviews, how performance has been driven by a deliberate, low-stress tactical implementation by the team, allowing Vingegaard to maintain his composure and save energy until absolutely necessary (conservative compared to Tadej’s attack style). An example of this can been seen on Stage 9, where he produced a ~7.1 w/kg for the final 7:30 minutes of the climb. While impressive, it is below the ~7.7 w/kg range he usually reached in short, 7-10 minutes efforts last year, and in 2024. (Putting out the effort ‘only required’ to win the stage). (I want to reiterate, I have nothing but admiration for Jonas’ performance so far this Giro, and his conservative approach is nothing less than a clever, tactical approach ahead of the TdF)
