The question is:
Did WvA loose the jersey on purpose (going out with a bang)?

If he just followed wheels, he could have had a chance for stage win (more points for green, bonus seconds for yellow)... But probably at the cost of having his team work for him.

Team could easily have sat there after the first 3 guys went on the break and did nothing. If others want to race they can, and WVA outsprint them. If not you can leave those guys take a load of time.

his main aim was the 20pts for green jersey... he'd lost yellow this weekend anyways

Even outside of that he shouldn't be wasting so much resources when he's riding for a top GC team like he is. Brailsford would probably slap him for that.

Yet another crash that Pogacar avoided, I'm telling you that until he has a bout of bad luck I consider him a demigod.

Good thing Bora doesnt have trident strategy like Jumbo Visma, otherwise Vlasov would be left on the ground.
