Also nice to see Felix Gall finish 13th, leaving DSM was the right move for him.
It definitely was a race incident. It was really slippery. A lot ot of rider after the first riders where sliding, too. Crashes can always happen in such sprints then.
I hope it doesn't decide the race.

Even when refraining from the most silly climbs, you really can crank the stupid up to 11 when it comes to difficulty in this terrain.
Same finish, same distance (but I cheated and moved the start to Tolosa): https://ridewithgps.com/routes/39009047
Without using the same road twice, I don't think you can achieve higher elevation gain in the same distance on raceable roads. But of course, I much prefer the route tomorrow, as difficulty isn't the end point.

Milan Vader met zware blessures in het ziekenhuis na val in Baskenland
Milan Vader is na een val in de Ronde van het Baskenland opgenomen in een ziekenhuis, waar de artsen gelijk zijn begonnen met opereren. De situatie van de wegwielrenner en mountainbiker van Jumbo-Visma was kritiek, meldde het AD. De Nederlandse ploeg heeft inmiddels in een kort statement...
Omg... no words for this... I hope everything will be okay!
The amount of people seething about team tactics in cycling is hilarious. Reality of cycling is, if you stay close in GC, someone isn't going to actively sabotage their teammates so imbeciles online are happy about how they rode the race. Soler will perhaps learn from riders like Kamna who purposefully lose time so they can go for stage wins. Kamna almost ground to a halt in Andalucia stage 3 after he knew he wasn't winning the stage, and covered the final KM in like 5 minutes. He then went onto win the final stage.
Soler decided to go for GC when he couldn't drop Rodriguez easily, Rodriguez went for the stage, in the end Rodriguez got the stage, and because of the split that happened on the final climb, Soler moved up into the top 10 in GC. Doesn't seem to be a bad result, and doesn't look like Soler could have won the stage on his own.

He only gained 4 positions which he will probably easily lose back tomorrow because of the effort today. In the end that's a pretty bad result for what he put into it, and certainly not what he had been hoping for when he started his attack.

Dunno if it's a good or a bad sign that the team doesn't seem to mention it...
Parents seem to be travelling to Spain to the hospital which really doesn't sound good at all.

Neutral I think. The team won't wanna give updates before they have a clue what's going on.

Ex-MTBer crashes into the ravine on a wet descent. It really can happen to anyone. We can only hope he makes it through in one piece.

Kid seemed so talented, at 21 and with no pro contract, riding on the national amateur team representation he managed top 3 on Acebo in the Vuelta a Asturias, with only Nairo Quintana and a thermonuclear Raúl Alarcón able to gap him, and beating some decent level riders like Pardilla, Sevilla and Díaz. In 2018 he managed to get a 4th and a stage win on two big mountain stages in L'Avenir and then went on to a decent GT debut getting in a few breaks and managing a top 3 in the Bilbao stage. He even had a decent run of results in flattish French end of season races like Vendée and Paris-Tours, but he's just stagnated totally, he's now turned 26 and seems no better than he was five years ago.

Plapp needs at least One Willunga I think before attempting the treble, just to push him to that required level.

The real irony would be if he lost GC with a few seconds to Martinez or Bilbao who were able to snatch boni seconds because he did the lead-out 3 days in a row.

So you are sure they would have snatched those bonis without him leading out the group? The result would certainly have been the same? So what you are saying is that teams should stop doing leadouts, as the result would be the same regardless. Good to hear.

Congratulations to Carlos Rodriguez Cano for his first win.
It was a nice stage to watch. Finally we got to see Evenpoel making a move we all expected for him to make. A move that resulted in Evenpoel gaining the opportunity to wear the leaders jersey. On a week long stage race that is considered to be the hardest one of the season. Congratulations in that regards.
As for JV and Rogla. Before the race started we all knew this race is about the first and last stage for him. What in my opinion JV managed to do today is to put Vingegaard in good position, they likely managed to neutralize Evenpoel-Alaphilippe duo and in my opinion they weakened Martínez-Yates duo by turning the team hierarchy around. During the race and in my opinion the Yates-Martínez duo represented the biggest threat to them especially in regards to the last stage.
Likely a stage to remember on the schedule tomorrow. Looking forward to that.
