I think Yates is a little bit over his peak form. Still good enough for top 5, though.
Where did Higuita and Carapaz finally end?
Yates often fades in the third week of grand tours so maybe two one week races in three weeks is a little too much for him to keep his god tier one week race form, similar happened in 2019 when he was not as good at Itzulia as he had been at Volta/Tirreno.
