Huh? Looked to me like she had caught up with the back of the bunch at first.
It probably doesn't help that AVV took the bike of Sierra, her strongest teammate.This is 10x worse than Pogacar and UAE. Completely one man army, her team can pull a few kilometres on the flat into dead
Sure, but Movistar don't have the strength to pull that kind of act like Saxo did back then. Hence the 'Cancellara' of the group would have to be riding for one of the teams profiting, remembering Cancellara's subsequent refusal to wait for Chavanel when the maillot jaune had a mechanical just a single day later.Oh no I was referring Cancellara's policeman act for Andy back in the day.
I was mostly kidding, there's no ridiculous self-appointed patron like Cancellara here.Sure, but Movistar don't have the strength to pull that kind of act like Saxo did back then.

The yellow bike is probably heavier than the black one.So they did a totally yellow bike for AVV, but she doesn't like it?
An unprecedented outbreak of good taste?
Five bike changes for AVV . . . so far!
Good point, but why make it then, knowing what the last stage is like?The yellow bike is probably heavier than the black one.

So have it for the photos at the end, not as a replacement bike on the roof of the car where a bike she would actually want to use could have been.
She used the yellow bike only for the pictures at the start. She was on her black bike when she had the mechanical and took the blue bike from her teammate.I'm pretty sure she started on the yellow bike. She then took a bike from a teammate - Sierra, I think - and then I've lost track of the rest of her bike changes.

Indeed, the yellow bike is even a heavier model:She used the yellow bike only for the pictures at the start. She was on her black bike when she had the mechanical and took the blue bike from her teammate.
