So if he had only started his sprint later, you think he rode the last 3 km the right way to win?
Depending on the result, yes. If he rode the perfect sprint and still lost, then you can say he rode the last 3km's wrong and a different tactic should have been used. But if he rode the perfect sprint, and won, it might have been thanks to pulling those last 3km's, keeping the pace high, and not giving the others time to recuperate more.
 
Today we confirmed Remco bike handling/descending should not be much of a worry anymore.
I don't agree. He really was pushing to drop Storer and keep Del Toro behind, sprinting from hairpin to hairpin, while he did not come closer to Pogacar. Imho that is a big part of the reason why Pogacar was able to cruise away from him on the flat, because he went deep on the climb and the descent because he had to drop Seixas, Del Toro and Storer when he still could. It wasn't bad by any means, but Pog did that descent just as quickly much more conservatively.
