I don't think so, that's just side to side bike movement as he's climbing and he very much holds his line. JV has come way across the road when any contact is made from where he was
it is the very last frame before Vingegaard suddenly changes direction. Here you have them one frame at the time:

Sensational stuff today:
  1. Just a minute after I called Remco "dumpling" he attacked.
  2. Primoz Roglstomped himself.
  3. Lightning-fast photofinish by Vingegaard and Vlasov! They put Cav, Peta, Cippo to shame.
  4. Ugly ride by the winner (maybe team tactics but still)
 
The only reason that Rodriguez was able to win in such an ugly fashion, was because Soler was so dumb to allow it. What exactly did Soler think was going to happen? Being in the same team doesn't make him Pogacar. But it was a very effective and efficient day for Ineos. Not working in the front, not working in the chase. Finishing 1 and 2, and without Vingo and Vlasov crashing, they would have the leaders jersey as well. Or how an idiot can shape an entire race.

Soler was thinking about his GC place perhaps, being a virtual leader with a healthy advantage.

This needs to be mentioned more. It was an abusive, exploitative, brutal & cynical dismemberment of Marc Soler by a rider who clearly gives zero cr*p about ever receiving a Christmas card from his breakaway companion.

Nasty stuff.


The Spilak Grenadiers need to keep up their record in one week races.

Fernando Barcelo deserves a mention as well. Would he have won if it stayed together!? Is he the Murito?! Who knows...

Looks like Vingegaard's wheel slipped out and he swerved into Vlasov. The last 30 meters were very slippery.

Playing devil's advocate here but I saw CR, Remco, Ala and Vingo's wheels all go off the ground. I think all of them where trying to sprint standing up the mountain. Others did the same but had a better weight balance in the bike.
