Why does Kuss need to wait for Bennett in a situation like this? MTF on the last stage of a one-week race? Just let him race, man, Bennett was beyond saving and a 5th versus 7th GC spot for him is pretty irrelevant...

Echelons killed Sosa's overall chances. As someone already mentioned, all Sosa can do right now is climb.

What was the point of Remco's attack when Almeida was about to bridge to the group?
 
Pog mixed up great days and weaker days at the Vuelta, as well as not being an insane ITTer as well. Bernal is obviously a pure climber.

If the 3 of them are competitive, it's great.
Pogacar went from winning l'Avenir, to winning Algarve, to winning California, to being great at Pais Vasco to winning 3 stages and the podium at the Vuelta. There were very few off days in between, which Evenepoel also had.

Kuss is a talent. He has a very high ceiling from what I’ve seen of him.

Sosa is prolly the most pure climber in the peloton. He literally cannot do anything else, but one of the best in the world at easy stages with a hard MTF in the end.

To win the stage? What's the point of waiting for Almeida? He was obviously not as strong as the other 3 and would be dropped.

The attack right as Almeida had almost joined back in was a bit impetuous and he showed flashes of merely being super talented rather than extraterrestrial.

That said, in a field of pure climbers on a classic Spanish super steep shorter climb in roasting heat he still more than held his own and played it cool making other riders close gaps on multiple occasions.
