Lost chance for Woods, only time he was at the back on the final climb was the start of the final sprint and then found himself off road trying to move up.

I wonder why they don't ride down the other side of the climb after the race.
on German commentary, JCL said that they used to go up the other side when he was a pro, but that road would be closed now. So maybe it's not possible?!

The 25 m to go looks nothing like a finish. And I would imagine that anyone attending a race expecting to win looks up where the finish is.

It's almost like professional athletes experience these things from a different perspective than Bob sitting at home on the couch does.
Yes, they get paid to actually prepare themselves for the race, not just randomly switching channel to see a race is on.

He made a mistake, therefore he wasn't prepared. Lol. It's almost like things are different when you've just been on a 4 hour bike ride capped off by sprinting up Mont Farron. I know this may sound weird, but not everything is robotic. Things are a lot harder when your heart rate is through the roof.
