De Gendt is a meme. I know it's how he likes to ride and he obviously gets some success but it so often is bafflingly timed
Why? He tried relentlessly to get in the break but failed. Lotto managed to put a man in the break so he sat in the peloton.
As soon as his teammate dropped from the break he attacked, giving Lotto another shot at a stage win, since the gap to the break was kinda small at that point.

Those riders in the break have been on the front for 150+ km, so they sure are more tired than him. To me it makes sense.
