    In my book, it's way, way better to look stupid and lose to Carapaz because you chased Yates like a madman, than lose to Yates while you didn't do literally anything to defend the leaders jersey, riding like a coward. The boy is young, maybe he will learn. The potential is there, but he lacks a...

    Grande Yates! I knew he was in very good form right after stage 16. He flew under the radar, which I think helped him very much. He lost a little bit of explosivity over the years, but that was blessing in disguise. He lost a little bit of time in stages 17 and 19, and coming into stage 20 Del...

    He did that eventually, but I think he should've done that immediately and put the pressure on Del Toro right from the start. This way he rode on the front very long, so actually De Toro and his "masterminds" from the car thought that Carapaz cares about 2nd, which was not the case.

    Van Der Poel earned a monument for a teammate, and half-a-dozen of Tour stages, so I wouldn't say he doesn't help his teammates.

    On his day, and on a very difficult climb, Simon Yates is still among the very best climbers of the world. These two clowns maybe wouldn't lost that much time if they rode all out, but they would still be out-climbed by Yates today. No one in this Giro field could've matched Yates today, not...

    Simon lacks explosivity a bit, but fortunatelly for him it won't matter in last two stages. What will matter is who the best climber is, and I think Yates is the man.
