I think if someone goes to the line with Roglic today then Roglic will gift them the win

When people say EF and Movistar should chase the break, I just dont think either of those teams are capable. If they are relying on guys like Nairoman and Rubio then it will be music to the break’s ears. They would need help from Bora. EF seen better at raids rather than riding on the front...

Wonder how Vlasov will play this - he must be desperate to be given his own shot

I could be proved wrong but to me this is a crazy way of going about winning the stage for WVA. He could have been in the break and no one from peloton would have chased. Now he runs the risk of riders, a Carapaz for instance, taking a flyer towards the top of the climb and descending like a mad...

Decathlon show their experience, this gap should be 9 mins already. No one is a threat. Deter any team from even thinking about chasing. I’m not saying it will happen but if you peg the break around the 6/7 min mark then a team like Bora could bring this back.

No one will take Navarez to finish so these three could stay away

The risk/reward is just not there for GC teams today - if you control all day, what realistically will you gain on a 3km 9% climb and a descent to finish? BOC is a really good descender so even if he is gapped by 30 secs on the climb, there is a fair chance he narrows that by the finish. Not...

They wouldn’t have got caught. A) WVA wouldn’t have allowed it, b) the other two (then 3) were cooked

There are people actually defending Pacher’s tactics. As soon as they went over the final climb there weren’t going to get caught. Just sit on. Does anyone think WVA would not ride the whole way in? The last thing WVA wanted is for it get complicated. Your only hope is to play on his mind that...

WVA could start his sprint with 1Km to go and he will still beat Pacher

Totally. Pacher’s only hope is a bigger group and tactics come into play

Pacher is kinda stuck isn’t he - would have been better for him if this was a group of 4 and tactics came into it. WVA depends better and sprints better, there is no way het can beat him

Apart from a sprint

WVA’s problem might not be on the climbs, but descent and run in, other will expect him to close every move

They are knackered. Best to try again another day
