This is the kind of attitude that I hate from GT GC contenders and that the UCI's points system sadly somewhat rewards.

It takes a special talent for conservatism to apply that kind of technique to one-day racing though.

Maybe he was putting in a tribute to Domenico Pozzovivo though, since he had the epic "finish 7th in a two-up sprint".

That was Roma Maxima (the old Giro del Lazio), against Valverde, right?
But yeah, today was a masterclass wheelsucking performance by him, I have to admit that.
