Yeah, you might be right. There definitely didn't seem to be any communication between the two as to tactics, and Brennan seemed pretty unaware of when the finish line was coming?
I don't know? Seemed like Brennan was riding his regular sprint and coming through the middle between Van Poppel and Waerenskjold right up until Van Poppel steered into him for the second time. Of course starting his sprint further forward would have eliminated that threat.

Relegating Van Poppel was the correct decision but Brennan messed up his positioning by staying too far back.

Wærenskjold should take the overall now, he is having a really good summer.

Yeah, I kept wondering why he was so far back. They keep saying that Wout is teaching him how to do these things...I worry that may be the proglem...
Rookie error but he should not have stopped trying once blocked out as that cost him a few spots and potentially bonus seconds in the event of the relegation that happened.

Never mind all of that. Louw Larsen managed to finish 24th in GC, despite not even being in the race.

What happened to Narvaez? He dropped from second to sixth place in a stage like this.
I didn't watch, wth happened here?
just some late crash victims, I think. Narvaez is now back to 2nd on Tissot. Van Poppel must get s.t. as well

I thought Watson went down with Kristoff?
