No its not dumb ... He has no alternative so he has to do it if he wants to win the KOM

Also now Pinot has to decide between KOM and top 10 GC
I mean, his smart alternative was to not wait until the break was 5 minutes ahead before trying to get across. Even if he gets across, he's going to be wrecked. He's also making a bunch of enemies in doing so

It's not dumb to do it per se, but dumb to attack that late. He basically has to close a 4 minute gap in 40 kilometers on his own.

Edit: It's still entertaining, of course.
