He lost Piganzoli though.
Not that it would affect his GC position, but less bodies to control.

If it's dry, I think he'll start blasting off a bit. If it's raining, I doubt he'll do anything besides taking off on the MTF.
Also only one week rest before Catalunya, I would probably not want to go full gung ho on long range attacks every day from here.

Well, yeah? I didn't see Martinez taking any turns at the front either. Should Vingegaard be spending energy on the front while the one rival for GC sits on? Bora made the split it's up to them to drive it, if they don't want to drag Jonas along they can always sit up and wait for the chasers.
As expected Vingegaard wins the PN. They (Pogacar and Vingegaard) always find a way to win a stage race.
Time gaps in overall GC after today look more like what we’d see after 2 weeks of the Tour rather than Stage 4 if PN!

They are bib tights, he probably intended on being able to take them off before the last climbs.
was today the last stage? I didn't know. did you see what happened to Ayuso? and to the very Vingegaard last year?

A lot of abandons, including McNuggets and Traeen due to the crashes, in the end
UAE is getting mauled this season by crashes.
Also a shame Ayuso crashed, the GC is closed.
Today's casualties:
In context, a rather short list.

What a carnage! It's unbelievable how much buffer RBH could create vs the rest given small initial gaps after those events. The stage was like a TTT with one pro team vs some amateurs behind: too bad RBH didn't notice Vingegaard, who was small enough to hide behind and crushed them on the last wall. Epic victory for Vingegaard and great performance by RBH as well (Vingo should buy good holidays for RBH guys). Too bad there were victims of this stage and none could challenge Vingo.

Apprently Træen crashed and got sent to the hospital. Leknessund probably lost time in that same crash (and then he ran out of steam in the end anyway). Looked to be a great day for them, ended up with pretty much nothing.
Many of the top guys might be a bit gassed after today’s efforts, so tomorrow might be a good chance for the break? Plus Visma doesn’t have need to chase (other than Martinez) given Ving already has such a big buffer.

The Van Dijke bros are incredible domestiques!
Big misjudgement by Visma to let them go!

Looks like Vingegaard is their new leader.
Crazy ride from the brothers. I get GC is important but they should've played the numbers game with 3min ahead. Let Vingo make a decision if he want to follow or ride. You just knew this would happen.
Hope Ayuso is okay, any news on him?

I don‘t get the numbers game talk, the Van Dijkes were 4‘53“ and 6‘59“ behind on GC respectively. Also Vingegaard could make up a minute on both of them on the final steep section, so Martinez would either give up the GC advantage he gained or still lose hard to Vingegaard. Of course they might win the stage, but it wouldn‘t be worth it.

Again, I don’t care he didn’t take turns. I found it weird he went for the bonus sprint, commentators found it weird and RBH found it weird too. That’s all.

Especially because yesterday he said those 4" bonus sprints are not gonna decide this Paris - Nice.

Just watched the full replay (had to start from the beginning when I saw the full carnage situation mid-race). Absolutely epic stage! A shame about those hurt in the crashes, and seeing Ayuso going out was particularly sad for the race. But there's a reason that Vingegaard and the Red Bull riders didn't crash. Today's absolute beast award should be shared between Tim van D and Vauquelin. A bit weird seeing Kevin in the white jersey. Feels like he's been around for ages.

So he was supposed to leave the bonuses for DFM?
Weird that so many people find this weird.

Let the brothers go and stay on his wheel. Make him nervous with others maybe getting closer again and he has to ride. I just find it weird if you're with 4 vs 1 and doesn't win the stage. Martinez could've ended up a bit closer if Vingo had to work a bit for the stage. He just got a free ride from another team.
