Bettiol’s efforts certainly confused me, but he has proven often over the years that he is a good teammate. I am quite comfortable assuming that there were mitigating factors we are not aware of, or he simply made a mistake. The fact of the matter though is that he was pulling a group that did not include Wout, so ultimately his actions did not lose them yellow, or cost them the stage win. I think their tactics were spot on in the lead group. Cort rides for powless, because powless can get yellow. Powless attacks with 1k to go so he either wins the stage or prevents the kind of track stand racing that prevents him from taking yellow. No problems with tactics, their only problem was Wout is a beast.
