UAE as a team was pretty mediocre. Bjerg did his part and controlled the breakaway. Politt's leadout was great. Veermersch did his part afterwards and worked prior to the 2nd Kwaremont. Not sure what the rest of the team was doing. Oliveira crashed early. Never to be seen again. Cosnefroy...

Managed his effort. Smaller gap on the Kwaremont but with more left in the tank for Paterberg and the flat 10km.

Evenepoel clearly cannot keep up on the Kwaremont. No reason to go all out to keep him behind. Pogacar can drop him at will. Only question is if Pog is wasting so much energy that MVP might have a chance in the final.

He`s always in groups like this. And he always "manages" his efforts. Hagenes and Vermeersch pulled longer and harder. Tour stage last year was similar. I guess he can claim that he outsmarted the rest when he wins but I am not sure if it increases his chances in the future. At some point they...

At least he didn`t full crack. That`s already an improvement compared to UAE.

At least Abrahamsen finished last in the group. Has to be one of the most toxic riders to have in a group.

Rabofail + Politt coming up short in his attempts to ruin the day. Doesn't get much better.

The only logical answer is missing in the poll. Denz has won more GT stages than anyone else on the team in the last three years. Imagine what he could do if he wasn't wasting opportunities babysitting second/third tier GC riders.

Kanter might be too good for the most top 10s without a win competition these days.

Pog pushing harder than necessary on the climb just to prove that he is stronger than McNulty. Now he can happily gift away the win.

Not sure what you expected. He was among the last 15-20 guys in the group. And at some point he couldn't follow the pace of Bora/Visma. Not like he dropped before the climb even started.

Vine has done more for Almeida than Soler and Ayuso combined. A little bit weird to bash him because he went for it in a 13 minute TT effort. Not to even mention that he hasn't taken any off days on non breakaway stages. Only Großschartner has been better.

Politt just added a name to the list...

Bahrain smart enough to gift the breakaway a few more seconds. Probably reduces the risk of a nuclear Visma leadout.

With the right schedule Teutenberg should easily take this. Consistency is almost Kanter'esque.
