Am I the only one wondering why Pogi burns Politt and Soler for potentially gaining just 8 bonus seconds? If he can drop Vinge on Peyrol or Pertus and ride solo home, I'm pretty sure he could do this without exhausting his domestiques.

You are not the only one. A significant cost for modest gains.

Domestiques are for exhausting

This is why UAE need a big threatening bouncer type rider, they're great at controlling the breaks but when it gets testy they get barged off the front.

Bit boring this now, come on someone put some tacks on the road or something, maybe a spectator can get involved with the riders, really light things up.

The security is surprisingly working better here than at the Euro 2024 in Germany where everyone and their grandmother can walk onto the pitch.

Visma always taking the peloton to another pace. Just to sit in front at 45km and crashing again. Just let UAE do their thing and sit behind them. No need to make it more dangerous. You can take over when the climb starts.

Been a while since a local neutral
Service vehicle
Purposely helps a foreign rider really really really slowly
