What I think UAE should do is to utilize another tactic, unless that they decided to test that same tactic in a non-high montain stage to see how many damage they could do to the GC riders, without too much losses. This way, UAE will unable the possibility of having a lead-out attack, because as JV sits in the wheel of Pogi, he consumes less energy, and, as JV's form is improving, a pure force frontal attack no longer has any benefits to Pogi. First part: Now, if I were UAE, on stages 14 and 15, I would send Adam Yates to the breakway, with 2 objectives, first to gain some time and climb up the GC, possibly to overtake Mikel Landa and put pressure on Carlos Rodríguez, and, second, to force Visma, Ineos and Soudal to work, in order to wear them out, to facilitate a Pogi attack. Second part : Given the fact that the secon best placed rider of UAE (João Almeida) is currently at approximately 3min of both Jonas Vingegaard and Remco Evenepoel, and with 4 high mountain stages and a lot of altitude, I think UAE should consider having JA attack to possibly reach the podium, in case one of them, RE or JV, wear out.

I agree At least he would have been a more loyal rider to Pogi than Juan Ayuso was or ever came to be

Yes, I agree But we , the fans, tend to comment without knowing all of the facts For example, João Almeida was ill and that is why he didn't had his best performance at Paris-Nice That is also the reason why he has fewer race days, as he missed Figuera Champions Classic and Volta ao Algarve Regarding the rest of the team, given the very bad performance at the UAE Tour, by McNulty and Jay Vine, i think there wasn't a good option for the GC
