What happened with Gaviria man? He was such a big talent but it feels like he hasn't done much in the last couple of seasons.

Molando did a great leadout for Sagan...
Oops, my error.Stage 6 as well. Unless Italy has already adopted Bernal.
Nah, everyone will get the same time.

My opinion, is he is just starting to get in shape. I don't buy all that BS from his coach. He had crashes and 2 times Covid in the last 2 years. He barely rode last year and we expect him to be top sprinter now? that is impossible.What happened with Gaviria man?

Yes, 3vs1 or 2vs0 would still be the same between Evenepoel and Bernal. But i'm sure they'd rather not take any chances, dropping off and seeing Bernal can't follow and suddenly Evenepoel takes 3 seconds and Bernal 0. By taking away the 3 seconds, he diminishes the chances of greater timeloss.
I think he will watch out for Buchmann as long as he can.Interested to see how far Sagan pushes himself in stage 11 - He's a proven Strade rider, though it appears the gradients may be a bit tougher than normal - Maybe he'll hang around to get the intermediate points.
Did a little wagging with the tail there to kill the momentum of the guy behind him, like Petacchi used to sometimes.

Some people think that he is a Sagan type of rider now. Maybe that is true, but he still had a lot of time without racing at the WT level.
Anyway, I think he is on the way out of UAE. LeFevre is going to get a good deal with him IMHO. Because he can still win.
Please no.I think he will watch out for Buchmann as long as he can.
He must party with Lo Squalo like it's 2013Please no.
It was more of a reflex, than it was a mathematical decision by Narvaez. I don't think it's that strange from his perspective, but i already agreed with what you said.Oh, come on, you just always have another argument, don't you? He was riding behind Bernal, there was no reason to pass him...

You didn’t have to be signed up to read the forum, was just a lurker back then. Is that so puzzling?And how did you login?
March 4, 2011 means that there is some Back To The Future stuff going on here, or you had an older sock puppet brother
I am a bit confused about what Narvaez did wrong here. Please explain. Thanks.Yeah, I agree it's a reflex, you have to be quite smart to think all those scenarios through in the heat of the moment and how the distributions of seconds will be.
But I think that is what coaches are for. Tell the riders that if your GC guy is in a boni sprint with a GC rival and seems to be losing, you don't interfere! That should be something every gregario knew.
If he didn't sprint Remco takes 3s (instead of 2s) and Bernal takes 2s (instead of 1s). Same difference between them, but they take an extra second over the other contenders. Next to that it could've been risky if Evenepoel somehow managed to overtake him just before the line or Narvaez didn't manage to pass him which could have costed another second.I am a bit confused about what Narvaez did wrong here.
