yaco always acts as if he knows things he doesn't.Do you know that or watched it? We dont really know what happened or how it occured before the live pictures, as far as I know, unless you have a source or interview supporting this that I havent heard or seen.
Maybe he was just further down or held up when the split happened. He wasnt gonna chase or help when Visma had gotten Van Aert, Laporte and Jorgenson up the road.
If anything it only benefitted him... since he got a free ride right until the end. He had something left for a big attack. He is in great form and had luck on his side. Seems to be very much be in the zone right now and making the most out of it.
