I don't think it's fair to call Keisse hypocritical for saying that GC teams should not interfere with the bunch sprints at the end of the stage. This is a very different situation as this sprint was made for the GC guys in particular. It's not really comparable.
If this sprint had given points as well it would have been murkier.

Edit: But it's definitely a bit funny. And of course Keisse will be hypocritical by the end because he will be keeping Evenepoel at the front. So perhaps you all meant to say that and I only saw it just now lmao.

I wasn't calling him hypocritical. Just saying we were going to see if and how hypocritical he was, but it seems not so much. I wasn't talking about the sprint at 25km.

Even if points were also given, if the GC guys can gain time, they should take the time in the sprints
