Uae with no plan or their plan being negated by their own riders🤧 idk why A.yates closed the gap for pelizari at the top of the climb when majka was fighting for his life to try to isolate roglic. Unbelievable
They are in the lead, their plan is to control the race.

UAE remind me of that late 2010s PSG team with all the big hitters up front who tipped up to every champions league game looking like they'd just started training together for the first time the morning of the game

Mate everyone of roglics teammates were dropped at the top of the climb and that would be a huge opportunity to finish the race today. Instead of forcing pelizari to close the gap, yates was closing for pelizari. I guess its too many egos in the team

Conservative strategy reminds me more of Jumbo Visma 2020 Tour, if it comes off and they win people will say well done, what were we worried about, but if Roglic plays for time sitting on their train, then destroys them on the last couple of mountain stages we will say why didn't they try and fatigue him with all their GC leaders earlier on.

How would they finish the race today and how could Pellizzari prevent that? Just 1-2 attacking? There are also other riders than Roglič who could help close gaps for him.

The problem is UAE has 4 riders stronger than Pellizzari. Roglic will probably be alone against 4 UAE in stage 16.

If UAE were going to ride as a team, sure but Ayuso would probably chase down Del Toro at this stage. Never mind Bahrain, Ineos, Lidl will also work if UAE try anything together

Imagine a situation where toro,ayuso roglic,carapaz and bernal went clear on next climb and ayuso attacks them, it will be to the benefit of toro to sit in their wheel while they are chasing ayuso in the next valley and at the final climb toro can finish the race and carapaz and bernal would not work full when toro is in their wheel which puts the most pressure on roglic. The more the numbers u have the better
