Buchmann once again not pulling, what is even the point of him?
I hate people like you who spit their false narrative out every time. Of course he is pulling today and Hindley needs him further into todays stage no need to just stick to the front like Konrad did

this online hating of Buchmann is just stupid and people should be ashamed. Same for other riders of course.

Why would be look like an idiot? This is a great move regardless of the outcome. I think thats obvious to everyone?
I agree with you with this. But there are many commentators and ex-riders who keep saying the usual strategy is to survive, especially this early. So there is a sector that is usually is conservative rather than attacking. Of course, fans don't care for conservatism, but why would we, we are not the ones racing!
Just you wait!

Gap has dropped 30 seconds in last 10 kilometres. This stage is still in the balance between the break and the peloton if they really drill it.

To be fair, Buchmann is just outright terrible as a rouleur and on the flat. If he doesn't pull later on Marie Blanque it's a disappointment but so far it would be a bit of a waste to expect more from him.

If you check my posting history, you'll see that this is the first time I've posted anything critical about Buchmann on here. But tell me more about my supposed narrative.

It’s not hating, it’s just being critical of a rider. Nobody is going to have lasting hate for Buchmann because he didn’t pull for a short stretch.

If Hindley can somehow ride in 3+ minutes advantage this could light race up...
