Quite interesting now, looks like it might've been a mistake for Vollering to attack so early, she's overcomplicated the race and could be cooking herself in the valley. imo could've just taken the time back on Alpe alone.
Probably true (about taking the time back). But probably nervous after yesterday, and I also don't think Niewiadoma saves more energy in the valley. She also has to ride.
 
Now I would stop riding. Stupid slap from Vollering. Totally unnecessary.
While it looked pretty petulant and unnecessary, I'm not sure it wasn't intended as a pat on the back trying to encourage her to keep collaborating, or not soft-pedal, and what Iris Slappendel is saying to us about her conversation with the Fenix DS would appear to back that up.

On the other hand, the DS is saying that they were agreeing to keep collaborating and then Rooijakkers stopped doing so, so they might just be playing nice on the broadcast or keeping people guessing behind.
