I'm surprised EF and Trek didn't each put one of their two riders in the break to pull harder and give the group a better chance to stay away, especially if that got a few of the others to join in. What's the point of putting good riders in the early break if not to have a chance to win the stage on the final climb? I guess in part they were going on the assumption the peloton would give them a lot more slack and build a much bigger gap? And yeah, there's the whole not wanting to do the work and drag other riders won't work. Disappointing though.

Great attack Almeida, please don't tell me that's Del Toro dragging a line of 20 guys across the gap to Lipowitz

Edit: maybe Aranburu
