Yesterday it tipped. Till then I found the passion the remglic/rogco-fanclashs bring mostly entertaining since it spices up the race threads and often developes funny memes which not so much fanboys but pot stirrers manage to apply with impeccably funny timing, weight obsession vs. never attacks etc.
But yesterday I found myself just clicking through the threads same same but different stuff, every comment by every poster seemed predictable and just like going through the motions, analyzing if an utterance could possibly be spun as whining or a 2-second-loss is a sign of old age...and finally I even started to work instead of reading cyclingnews. Never happens to me, I swear.
I hope I will find the spark in this duel again. Maybe it's just that during PN it got a bit much and it will light up again sooner than later, maybe it's because many seem to cheer more for the misfortune of R1 instead of celebrating the success of R2; but if I loose interest even during a 1-week-race it doesn't bode well for the tour...

R1 (Remco) vs R2D2
 
So, what costs you more time? Taking a wrong turn or a crash. By my calculations, a crash is precisely 12 seconds more costly, but I might be off by half a second or so.
Depends a lot on how that crash affected Evenepoels cornering or pacing in the remaining 98% of the ITT.

I think on face value, the crash is likely a little more time but not 11 seconds more.
