Re:
Arguably he could've, arguably he SHOULD've but its quite possible that he was on the limit himself and just hanging on after having to expend extra fuel in the chase back earlier in the stage .....AGAIN due to his tactical immaturity of riding too far back and choosing to follow the wrong wheels.
On Blockhaus, he nailed himself to SKY wheels (not generally advisable at GTs other than TDF) and here he obviously nailed himself to Dumoulin's wheel early in the stage and found himself on the back foot when it proved that Dumoulin was on a bad day rather than figuring that the others were clearly likely to be looking to attack and being ready to mark them.
SlickMongoose said:I feel like Yates missed an opportunity today. Jungels was clearly in trouble and off the back of the group, wouldn't that have been a perfect time to attack? Instead he just followed wheels for the whole climb.
