Fantastic to see UNO-X nowhere because they are instilled with a sense of main character syndrome, after they chased the breakaway down and allowed Lidl-Trek to keep their entire train together.

YOU STOLE FIZZY LIFTING DRINKS, YOU LOSE, YOU GET NOTHING.

AND ITS JAKE STEWART TOO.

Remco looks okay thanfully, and no time lost. But I don't know why these GC teams hang on so late with the sprinters, it makes no sense.

No legs for Milan

Nothing to do with it. I mean maybe a little cause you can see he also didn't have his superspeed, but he just waits way too long. Tempo was going down, if you get jumped them you don't get up to speed in time anymore. Just dumb from Milan.

What was that gesturing by Steward during his celebration? Almost made everyone crash by [content deleted] like he got electrocuted...

Having Consonni as his leadout man (small guy who is explosive, but not doing a highspeed big watt leadout) isn't doing him any favours either.

Probably waits (too) long BECAUSE he did not have the legs.

Stewart was by far the fastest.

Milan was in MUCH too small a gear for some reason
He pretty much always seems undergeared because he likes high cadence sprinting, but between that and a really short leadout man with almost no draft (ok, I might exaggerate a bit) he isn't exactly using his full potential...

[content deleted] judging by that post finish seizure
Gave off some strong Kenny Powers vibes...

Stewart didn't go particularly early. Milan has a problem of not reacting very well when things aren't perfectly to a script he understands – sort of the opposite to Kooij/Merlier, who are both instinctive sprinters. Feels like he was set on doing a specific leadout strategy, but it was a tailwind with 4 men in a single kilometre (probably too many, if anything).
