I don't think so. Van der Breggen said they had energy left and could have done more.. Anyway, of course a lot of mistakes even if the organisation messed up. Dutch DS saying they shouldn't have let the gap become that big but the riders weren't aware, can't imagine they had zero communication...

That's what happened according to Van der Breggen. But it was also quite chaotic so it's also a possibility they misunderstood.

The not counting or miscounting was a mistake. But probably even if they had counted they wouldn't have caught her since they would only be aware of the wrong time gap after they caught the two chasers.

Dutch coach: "Miscommunication all over the place. Their head start got too big, but our riders didn't know. They also didn't know there was still someone upfront. I couldn't inform them and also from the road that wasn't possible."

I think it was more about the time gaps than about the # of riders. According to Van der Breggen they were given time gaps to the 2 chasers instead of the leader so they thought they had plenty of time to close the gap. Apparently they could have done a bit more to bring her back if they knew...

He's done. They'll drop him on the next climb.

I think Sunweb played their cards right. Having Hindley wait for Kelderman basically ruins all your chances on winning the GC if Kelderman blows up. If you let Hindley attack you risk that he's pacing Hart and creating a bigger gap with Kelderman. Plus Hart might counterattack and Hindley has to...

Letting Hindley follow Hart is a decision right?

Why does it need to be on a finishing climb? Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday next week are potentially lethal stages with >20km climbs in it, just set pace and put him under pressure and the same will happen as today.

No control whatsoever, complete chaos

Who's going to be next? Kruijswijk, Nibali or Fuglsang?

Yates drops?

What is Boras riding strong pace

I know but not sure they would've kept pushing like this (nothing wrong with this anyway was just wondering) I mean it will be quite difficult for Nibali to get the stage with Yates, and might have made more sense to blow up the MS train first.

Would Trek be riding hadn't Thomas dropped?
