Impressive win by Vingegaard and a lot of dithering going on behind him.

2012.
The chasers had more of a draft. After the climb, Vingegaard was only filmed from behind.

Mountain stages? In the 2012 Dauphiné? As far as I remember, all ASO stage races that year consisted exclusively of TTs, sprints and leisurely-but-boring train trips.

Not only is this race over, but TDF is over as well. Shame, I was hoping it would be an exciting race.

Berg said in a post race interview that he crashed because Jorgenson dropped his chain ahead of him. It wasn't clear from the way he frased it that he had crashed into Jorgenson, but it seems likely. Hopefully he wasn't hurt and just decided to pull the plug a bit at that point.
P.S. Just looked at the replay and it seems Jorgenson was able to shift his chain back on, he didn't go down with Berg. But then again it did seem like he was going slow from the start of the climb, either he still had a mechanical and decided to pack it up or he just did the latter.

Great performance from Jonas, albeit against a slightly out of form Carapaz and a few Spanish farmers. If Simon Yates was here it would of course be a different story, and Vaughters should be put on trial for not bringing Padun as far as I'm concerned.

The Criterium du Dau-fini.
The most remarkable part is I don't even think Vinge attacked, he just went a little faster... & Carapaz exploded.
Also, it really does demonstrate how so-called GC leaders are headless chickens once their teammates have been eliminated. No one commits to the chase, ergo one man ahead goes solo to the line.
It almost felt like Alaphilippe's WC win in 2021.

Lets be completely honest now, it makes sense nobody wants to commit fully. I fully agree that is pretty stupid most of times when this happens, but Vingegaard has already won the race bar a mechanical, so saving energy for a top-3, top-5 or top-10 push makes more sense.

Landa sitting on the back, Mas taking short pulls....UAE working hard to not be rejoined by Berg who was right behind them for awhile on the climb seemed unproductive. Yates was rare, commited rider.
Also: watched on Peacock in US and commentator was worst I've heard. Attempts to add drama where there was none, particularly about weather and Berg's short shunt were pointless. I guess he has to earn his money and put out more effort than Landa.

Those glorious single-lane roads on the descent wouldn't take much effort to at least put a dent in Vingo's lead. The "chase" was a wheel sucker exposition.

The weird thing is, all teammates were not eliminated. But if you don't operate as a team, it might feel like it.
A climb like this isn't even Vingegaard's forte. The difference might be even bigger on the weekend (or he might keep his powder dry, after all there is no point with the lead he has already).

Unless something magical happens in Sierra Nevada and Pog arrives at the Tour without chubby face and ready for the battle of skeletors.

seems like everytime a vingegaard, pogacar, vdp/van aert etc is gone they are like "lets just give up" behind. Classic G2 syndrome

That happens because they are much stronger than everybody else. Even if they cooperate and cut the gap to, let's say 20s, they are just gonna get another 20 tomorrow. Might as well try to keep your powders dry for the next stages.

Seems like 2023 any time the big 6 get a 10-15 second gap the rest just meekly fold into not cooperating in a chase and horrible group 2 dynamics. Kudos to Vingegaard but the rest of the field, bar Alaphillipe and Carapaz who at least had attacking intent, were dismal.

And he was hardly going hard. This was him at 90%.So Vingegaard is looking sharp
I mean ,.....dropping everyone on a "hill" is quite a sign of what's coming up in Le Tour
