Gaps much bigger today if they go hard yesterday.
Maybe but without dropping his chain he comes in 4th or 5th by the looks of it. So it makes sense if he contests sprints like this one.Alaphpiti shouldn't contest bunch sprints. Dude doesn't know how to ride them
A change of bike with Kwiatkowski if it is close to the finish it could be the difference between loosing and winning.What is Kwiatkowski going to do for Bernal, if Bernal has a technical? - They will both end up with Carapaz anyway in that instance.
At that point in the race, Bernal doesn't need a helper for anything, but Carapaz does.
They would not have gone hard today!***.

What effort? Bora made the race.Another stage win for JV. If they don't win the overall they may come to regret putting all this effort in for stage wins and not walking away with the most important goal.
Castroviejo dropped back to try to drag Carapaz back to the lead group.
I agree that he was zigg-zagging a lot. But the biggest swerve was the moment he dropped the chain and raising his hand to signal he has a problem is totally the right thing to do. The angrily waving around, he could have saved for after the line, true.Alaphilippe waving his hands around like an idiot and swerving around whilst people around him are sprinting, what a tool
What extra effort have they put in? Roglic's stage win came out of controlling the GC group to a summit finish, and vanAert has 2 stage wins from following other teams' leadouts.Another stage win for JV. If they don't win the overall they may come to regret putting all this effort in for stage wins and not walking away with the most important goal.

Handing him a wheel? Giving his bike?What is Kwiatkowski going to do for Bernal, if Bernal has a technical? - They will both end up with Carapaz anyway in that instance.

Procyclingstats don't have Quintana in their top 10. Must be a mistake.
Sagan missed a big chance to open up a big gap today.Van Aert gonna challenge Sagan and Bennet for the green jersey soon.
Did you just watch cycling this year?Julian won Milan San Remo last year by sprinting.Alaphpiti shouldn't contest bunch sprints. Dude doesn't know how to ride them
I don't understand. Sorry I just keep missing your point.But that is exactly what happened to Carapaz.
When the peloton is going 50+, you don't make it back on, even with the fastest bike change ever.
