Why Ineos didn't want to attack?

they don't need to attack

Re: Re:

What was the point of Landas attack lol

The stage win, obviously.

Except he attacked at a point where he couldn't catch Nibali buddy..

And yet, Valverde hit the finish line, from the same group, only 8 seconds down.......... buddy

 

[woodburn]

Alaphillipe will finish fifth overall.

Greetings! You must be new here!
It may surprise you to know, but generally, teams do not attack if they do not have anything to achieve by attacking!

Hope you learnt something new today!
Have a great day!

Which doesn't counter my point given Nibali slowed down to celebrate...


It was a Landa fail.

Chapeau Alaphilippe!
Many days in the jersey and a GC placement at the end.
Epic season and it's not over.

 

[Gigs_98]

No gc action and Nibali wins. Wish stages I don't watch would go like this more often

 

[Pantani Attacks]

Incredible from JA tbh. Probably the best entertainment since '10

 

[JosephK]

Ineos left a morsel/crumbs for the fans by not attacking. Nice win for Nibali, who made the day OK, after all.

The obvious exception there being Movistar.

Why would they? They are happy for finishing 1-2 in the GC

I know, but they could have won the stage.

 

[JosephK]

Did Alaphilippe save top 5?

 

[fauniera]

One of the worst stages i have ever seen.

 

[StephenC2020]

Did Alaphilippe save top 5?

I think so

 

[rick james]

If Froome was here, Nibali wasn't winning that stage

 

[woodburn]

Landa fourth in the Giro and sixth in the Tour. No stage wins. Classic Landa.

 

[Andy262]

Chapeau Alaphillipe, fantastic tour. Pains me to see Kruiswijk get that podium place having barely put his face in the wind in 3 weeks.

Great stage win for the shark..

Shame the race fell apart over the last couple of days.

 

[bambino]

Yes the Shark! Left it to last moment, but deliveres home with class. Bernal with first of many to come.

 

[fauniera]

Did Alaphilippe save top 5?

Yes. Movistar were too stupid to up the pace.

 

[rick james]

Alaphilippe with an amazing 3 weeks...big decisions now if he wants to become a grand tour GC rider..

 

[WKA311]

Buchmann just said he didn't have good legs today. Couldn't pull of a good attack.

LOL - sure he did - for 5 seconds

I am not new and have been watching cycling for 40+ years.

Bernal could have won the stage to go with the yellow jersey. I hope you learnt a lesson today.

Nice avatar!!!

Three Colombians, two French, two Spaniards, a British, Dutch and German in the top ten of the GC.
It's obvious where the wind blows from, and a nice showing for the French.
