- When I saw crosswind, I thought: Milan out, Merlier win. It's very odd that Merlier's been affected by echelons, usually he is a master at positioning. To be honest, I didn't think about Jasper (his spring campaign was weak).
- Jonas was at the front because there was a sharp corner on the descent right after the KOM mark, and he wanted to be one of the first through it. He was asked about going for KOM, and said he just took it because no one else seemed interested.
- Maybe just enjoying his newly built-up strength?
- I'm curious: Why did Jonas WILLINGLY sprint for the KOM jersey? it was intentional, not accidental.
- Really fun stage, I loved it! thanks Jonas and Visma!.
UAE strategies a disaster, as usual: Tadej alone, Almeida lost time.
- I am a professional cycling analyst and my tip for today is Chris Froome.
- That was probably the first and last time that Pog has been caught out behind a crosswind split. He has learnt his lesson from that and has always been able to position himself in the front, with or without his team since then.
- They were fighting for third
- great move, but let’s remember Tadej’s first TdF win. it was Jumbo then that cause a split too. and Tadej still won. these splits aren’t ideal, but 40 seconds is nothing in a mountain stage. the guys that didn’t make the split like remco haven’t show the chops to hang on wheels in the big mountains much less take time, but still putting it into perspective, it is a meh other than for making exciting watching
- i’m not a professional cycling analyst, but it seems like a serious preview of tomorrow’s favorites should devote a LOT more words to van der poel, van aert, girmay, etc.
