Good that he is still very up for working for the team and they got the stage win but not too impressive that he apparently wasn’t willing to put in the effort for another 4 minutes to secure the top 5 GC result that would still be a notable and significant one at this early stage of his career.

Alaphilippe just said yesterday regarding his 5th place at the Tour: 5th or 50th is the same to me, not a victory!
Contador had a similar mindset. Personally, I like it. Those guys fight for the win, 2nd place is the first loser of the race.
