great terrain , great finish ( and great winner ! ) , but as expected despite the terrain making longer and more strategic action possible it didnt incentivise it

the same today , but the gaps are big enough and team composition right for some yolo moves on the penultimate climb

Well, weren't you one of the people arguing against cross-race references (aka. "spoilers" ) down in the "Moderation" thread?

But would a ;) have made it clear that I was only being half-serious in my initial post about the matter?

Isn't the circuit a bit too much on the easy/long side for early attacks? There's one more bump of 1k at 8% early on, but that's about it, apart from the final climb.

is this a case where you dont want to understand it or a case where you cant imagine that youre wrong

cross race references are not spoilers

Or... as I said; I was making a half-joking comment aimed at people who insist on watching races on replay, rather than just watching multiple races at the same time.

Kinda hard to keep track of what's "acceptable" and what isn't...

Can Red Bull isolate Del Toro before the final lap starts? If they manage to do it, race could be wide open.

Not sure if isolation is the way to go. Think Roglic or Pellizzari should go from afar
Click to expand...
Should just make a breakaway happen and attack across to that. You could throw Roglic in the regular breakaway but then you run into problems with other teams just closing that down. The other issue I think is that Red Bull isn't that strong outside of Roglic being 4th on GC.

Vendrame's sweet spot is 3000m of elevation and 3500 on a good day. Anyway, he's been an excellent signing for Jayco.

yeah, definitely a good signing. I had not even noticed that he only lost one minute yesterday.

If it were me directing them, I would ask Roglic to go early and force Del Toro to chase. But, in reality, I doubt he'd want to sacrifice himself (fair enough) and he may not have the legs to do it.
But if he did, and Pellizzari was able to wheelsuck Del Toro, I'm not convinced it would work in terms of overturning a substantial defecit.

You have to try though I guess.
I can't see Pellizzari going long. That would be folly in my view.

I think yesterday the plan was for Rogla to attack on the last climb and close Del Toro's attacks, but neither RBH rider had the legs to execute it.
It seemed like Pellizzari was having trouble staying in the group from the start of the climb and Roglic was also at his limit following Del Toro and Jorgenson.
Maybe today the tides will turn as accumulated fatigue kicks in and someone will break even worse.

Del Toro can follow Roglic, then drop him and manage Pelizzari (or drop him too), so, unless he has a sans jour, he should win this TA.
