Yates led by 1:40 over the top of the final climb which in theory should have been easy to recover except for Wout the hero. Wout won it for Yates by pulling himself inside out through the valley! The DS's of both UAE and EF should have been yelling at their riders to not let Yates get away knowing that Wout was waiting on the downhill.

What really happened is that Del Toro and Carapaz both goofed by refusing to work together. They had spent so many days trying to neutralise each other that when the time came to join forces to bring back Yates, their feelings of racing enmity trumped clear thinking. Classic game theory scenario where the strongest cancel each other out and leave the spoils to someone else.

Del Toro should never have followed Carapaz initial attack and instead have his team around him to set a hard temp on an hour long climb to reel him back in. His youth and enthusiasm weren't good for tactics that were needed to win ! UAE also failed him with their so called 'strong team' not being there on the climb anywhere!

Nothing much is up for grabs if you don’t even fight for the win - which is how Del Toro rode today regarding Yates taking victory from him.

Felix Serna says it exactly right about Del Toro. How could anyone just voluntarily give up victory in that manner? Carapaz obviously was trying to fight for the win, but I think clearly he ended up disgusted by the way Del Toro was riding - not even willing to ride hard on the descent to fight for the win - and thus in the end Carapaz just felt what can I do with someone riding like this.

Del Toro made no meaningful effort to defend the jersey from Yates on the road taking it from him. Amazing lack of fight.

Pog at the giro was great to watch for a time - I found his greed in winning stages a turnoff, rather than put time into rivals without needing to chase down riders and deprive them. But that’s racing
