... Because some people just can't get it into their heads that you can't just randomly follow other people.

Fashionista... or... not.
Decent stuff today. The Van Dijkes did more work for him than when they were teammates, but in the end he did well to gain 40 seconds in one kilometer, like a Danish Purito.

Epic victory of a dramatic stage. He avoided difficulties, used RBH train and crushed them at the end. It's hard to assess his level accurately as there was basically no competition (except Martinez, who couldn't distance his own dom). Anyway, good victory and the GC is his unless further carnage happens.

40 seconds in basically 4 minutes of riding is a yuge gap
And nobody else was even able to go fast, bar Vauquelin because they were all much more rekt.

On the other hand, 45 seconds to the rouleur who has been towing you around on rolling terrain for many kilometers isn‘t such a huge gap and Vingegaard had to do less work than everyone bar Martínez in the Top 10 up to that point.

Rouleurs doing well on short climbs in dog *** weather isn't exactly shocking.

We are talking probably about top3 climber of all time vs very weak opposition. This performance didn't necessarily indicate anything special by his standards. It's just hard to get definite conclusions after this stage.

I didn't claim it was special. I just indicate that a really big gap on a short climb is a good sign, which makes me lean to terminology like "not completely washed" and "didn't binge waffles like Waffles".

Too bad we didn't have Ayuso or any top climber there for reference but I tend to think Vingo would be able to delete Ayuso at the very end.

I think in this weather you just get a lot of outliers and you wouldn't be able to draw that much from the result.
But I think we can pretty fairly assume Vingegaard is right on schedule for the Giro/Tour double despite the early setback.

Inside the greatest layering decision in professional cycling history
Or at least the greatest one today.
escapecollective.com
Cutting the chamois out of bibs/shorts to wear as a second layer isn't new, I guess old is new again. This was a strategy shared with me in the early '90s as a way to keep my stuff warm (er) on cold winter training rides. Doing it in a top level cycling event is probably not too common though...but it will be now.
If you don't have a pad in your long bibs, there is always going to be two layers. The "new" thing about Vingegaard's strategy was that he expected help from his teammates to get the bib off.
It may have looked weird, but in the end the practical perspective should have first priority. Btw, Vingegaard with a covid mask is way more ugly.
Can anyone explain what the hell bibs this guy was wearing yesterday?
They looked like they were on backwards with a low waist so you can pee easy.
From the side they looked super loose like there was a big pouch in the front that was catching wind
I've never seen kit like this
What kind of product was this?

Total domination the last two days. Taking a page out of Pogacar’s book. Looking great for the Giro.
I feel he gets overlooked due to Pogacar's domination, but it's great to see him showing he's still one of the best two stage racers of this generation.

He is still very easily the second-best GC rider right now, also with quite a gap still to the 3rd-best GC rider (whoever you think that is).
