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.Then you must have missed Pogacar.
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.Pog mixed up great days and weaker days at the Vuelta, as well as not being an insane ITTer as well.

If the 3 of them are competitive, it's great.
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...
No idea. Wasn't the best move. Maybe he figured Almeida was clear and he (Remco) would stay away. Let's hope he doesn't make that mistake again, he seems like a quick learner.What was the point of Remco's attack when Almeida was about to bridge to the group?
Almeida went from decent to insane in a mere instant after his transfer from Axeon with Deceuninck. What is this?
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.What was the point of Remco's attack when Almeida was about to bridge to the group?
He could have waited for Almeida to catch his breath, and allow him to get towed further up and maybe take some extra seconds in GC before attacking. Should have, imho.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.
Yes, exactly, good. This is far beyond good. He never showcased anything like this.How so? He was always a good prospect.
He wanted to emulate Sam Bennet 'I'm my own leaodut train' show from yesterdayWhat was the point of Remco's attack when Almeida was about to bridge to the group?

Podium. He got there, but he could very easily have snapped at that moment.To what end? What good would a few extra seconds for Almeida do?
Movistar has been completely horrible this race and has brought their 3 best climbers. KEKW.Movistar was abysmal once again.
Isn't Almeida 3rd anyway behind Evenepoel and Landa?Podium. He got there, but he could very easily have snapped at that moment.
That was only Ineos' second win of the season, and we're writing August
