Should’ve just run to the finish ala Ventoux. At least he showed something today.

Two punctures and one crash. Bad luck again.
I agree, but maybe he could have hold the main group. Despite the crash later he didnt lose lot of time...Wouldn't have mattered either way, he was already losing terrain quickly.
Maybe he rode with that backpack all day.

I mean, spanih media say that this is the greastest performance of him after his crash..and that just the punture avoid him to get the stage, and that is not true.
Even a day he was in a break in Sicilia was better than today, becouse there were Nibali and people like that, and nobody talk about.
And of course he has been quite well in le Tour in general, especially 3rd in Alp D Huez, and the day of Foix when he finished in a group with people of GC..just before to get coronavirus.
Today was far of that level, but quite better than the level que had last year in Coppi Bartalli in March..a race with better names, but not very different level to this one were he was struggling just to keep the peloton
I'm curious what you still expect from him? His standout performance from the past years is a breakaway in the TDF where he got dropped by the only good climbers. He's performing at the level he was at before he went to Sky and I don't see any signs that his level is going to improve drastically.
All I see is a washed up rider collecting easy paychecks, I don't get it.
Nice to see Mulubrhan take the lead again, he's probably been the most consistent rider and has 5 top 5 finishes so far. But i would have been content for Lecerf to take it as well, but he will get his chances easier in the future regardless, considering his background. There are now 3 riders within one second, and 7 riders within 12 seconds. This is still wide open, but considering how easily Mulubrhan finishes in the front, i think he has the advantage. The others will have to straight up drop him.Tarozzi from Bardiani takes his forst prowin solo on Mount Kigali.
And Mulubrhan jumps back into the GC lead. There are now five riders within 4 seconds before the final stage tomorrow.
