He stuck with Nairo and Alaphilippe down Sella tbf, left a lot of others behind
The misconception comes from last year's TotA. At that time Pellizzari was very scared to descend especially in wet conditions because he had crashed a few weeks earlier in training, taking down some of his teammates in the process.

Fast forward to l'Avenir and he was already descending at a normal level.

Quintana is the full climb, they don't go all the way today
