- If Evenepoel hadn't attacked Almeida would've lost plenty of time
- With the climb being removed this is for Godon to make it 3.
- So somehow the pothole only met Remco and none of the other riders. I suspect he was pissed off at Jonas and not concentrating on the road and when the roundabout came he was inattentive and he braked and met "pothole".
I wonder if it is so easy to get rid of him just dont relay and piss him off and he goes and crashes or does all the work.
- There's a difference between sucking Evenepoel’s wheel in order to outsprint him at the finish and taking the win because he crashed. It was Evenepoel’s choice to keep on working with Vingegaard in his wheel. But it was not in his hands once he crashed.
Also the manner in which the stage win came to them as a possibility is significant. It was an opportunistic attack to see what they could do. If they had both attacked on a climband ridden away due to their greater strength it would not have been blameworthy for Vingegaard to take the win. This was a road race (if it were in Paris-Roubaix, de Ronde van Vlaanderen, Strade Bianche or anything else like that, even Milano-Sanremo, it'd be different).
- Adrenaline?
- Totally get that, almost happened to me this week, not even a pothole, just an intact surface sunk into a hardly visible depression, not a good moment to reach for water. Always reminds me of Contador’s crash.
- Says he didn't take advantage but he sure had no problem sucking Remco's wheel for 28k and never pulling.
- Makes sense. I've been caught out when moving my hands and the road surface deals a surprise. Unexpected potholes can really wreak havoc.
- What's happening with Groenewegen?! He's won his last 3 races, and 4 for the year. He looks better than he has in years. He'll never return to his best year of 2019, but he's doing really well for URR. It's really interesting to see past World Tour riders riding for URR, Pinarello Q36, and Tudor. I'm enjoying this!
- Pipe down Alpha Dog, or whatever it is you call yourself when you’re dancing in front of the mirror.
