  From what I can gather, seems the DS had drilled into Del Toro before the race and again at the start of the long climb that he must mark Carapaz. Imperfect info made it difficult for the DS to directly tell Del Toro to close on Yates before the end of the climb, so it was mostly left to Del Toro's unexperienced judgement, who may have been near his limit anyways. In the end, probably either one could have lead the chase, but then would have come in third, while helping the other to first. Great execution of a great plan by Visma in Wout getting on top of the climb in advance and Yates being able to get that separation that caused the stalemate behind him. Also, in hindsight, big mistake by both EF and UAE in letting the break and Wout get so far out.

  Don't think Carapaz and Del Toro could have reeled him back in once Yates got to Wout; too big of an engine. The lead would have been stretched long enough to prevent them from closing the gap at the end.

  “And now, Visma try to take on a task that no team has ever been able to achieve before: Beat Tadej Pogacar at the Tour de France.” Odd sentence considering the fact that Visma has already beaten Pogacar twice at the Tour de France 🤔 Care to explain?

  Even if he's on the form of his life, João Almeida's not going to be a Tour de France contender when Tadej Pogacar is on the same team.

  Totally agreed. He should escape UAE’s golden handcuffs. In many other teams he would be the outright leader.

  14 wins in 4.5 years is not exactly nothing! Plus some pretty prestigious podiums. All at the age of 22. Kid needs to get some maturity, but talent is not missing.

  If he can match his form of the 2023 Tour he will have a chance, the problem is he's 28 now and Tadej will always be two years his junior. Jonas will come strong though for sure.

  Can't take to Ayuso despite him being my Giro tip. There's just something I can't pinpoint about the way he rides or his demeanour or his work rate for the team that I don't get. The perception on marginalisation is possible but how much is of his own doing. If he's not content he should waive his big contract and find some peace somewhere else

  MR - I'm not taking issue with the details just the overall factors involved 👍

  He certainly likes to be numero unos - verbally 😁
