Vingegaard very matter-of-fact in his post-race interview - if we could just squeeze a tiny bit of charisma out of him...

J/K, not every rider has, or has to have, a camera friendly personality. (I actually kinda like Vinge's quietness, it's definitely his own.)

Er... did you actually listen to what he was saying? He gave a very clear reason for his understated reaction (seemed almost in tears, even).

I'm wondering if Vingegaard actually increased the pace at some point to drop Carapaz or if Carapaz just suddenly completely blew up given how quickly he dropped back to and was dropped from the peloton. It's like he just gave Vingegaard a lead-out and sprinted up the hill untill his legs were empty. Entertaining yes but not exactly smart.

Vingo took a turn, and then probably noticed that with Carapaz on the front the group was closing in. So then you either get caught or you attack.

I'm pretty sure he upped the pace, because the group behind was beginning to close the gap.

Yeah, I would like to force the dominant riders to all do pretty much the same calendar and especially the Tour. It's amazing how they manage to each do such a different schedule, and then injuries and illnesses do the rest...

Glad to see Bernal up there. His trend continues to improves. Worrying about Dani Martinez. But we'll see if he improves in the high mountains in the following days.

Some guys with a bad TT did OK today. They just know they don't have to face the same TT at the Tour and didn't bother to prepare for it. They just need to be better at the mountains.

So true.

I so pine for the days when GTs were a more balanced measure of all around abilities.

I just rewatched it, the mic was cutting in and out. He mentioned something about families where he got emotional and then the interview ended.

Perhaps you would be so good as to fill me in on the context?

Fausto is not included on le Suisse startlist from what I saw. Looks like quickstep wont race him for a while, i doubt he will be in baloise tour belgium. He stopped being active on social media and strava, and that happened before when he had bad Mononuclosis flare ups. I'm really quite worried. But also I praying that he's just doing incognito training in Mexico or somewhere to get 2021 lombardia form for the summer
