To me, this was a little anticlimatic, since we have a GC fight going. Reminds me of the battle between Evenepoel and Mads Pedersen in Kalundborg a couple of years ago.

Part of the GC fight is Lotto letting the bonus seconds go.
Err... lots of races today, easy to get confused ... déjà vu feeling for some reason ... mmm.
Was this the first celebrating, not winning and not in 2nd place? 😁
I have the feeling that Uno-X let Cort make some of the team decisions in this stage race, and it's been a bit unfocused both today and yesterday. Why didn't Cort go for bonus points yesterday? Why didn't Uno-X chase the breakaway in Holbæk? I don't understand it really.
I would love to see my criticism proven wrong tomorrow when Uno-X launch a major attack and catch Lotto off guard. But it's a tough route to try it on.

The not going for boni seconds is just weird ofcourse, could've gotten the 2 seconds there without lots of energy wasted.
Today they and other teams just let Lotto make them fall asleep. Lotto fake paced basically, they wanted to let the break win as I don't think they were super confident in the technical final. In the end ofcourse De Lie got 3rd so would've gotten boni's and Cort was nowhere.
Attacking tomorrow is basically mission impossible, it was already hard today and UNO X didn't try but UAE and DSM for example did try on the hills and Lotto just followed or closed it down immediately, they have some strong rouleurs here. UNO X's best shot is again to just send it in the final corner (last with 300m to go) and hope Cort is in better position than De Lie, it will be chaotic.
De Lie and team are the Cort block:

He's said he won't dye his moustache blue again if he wins, so what would even be the point of him winning?

Just to clear any possible misunderstandings, you don't actually get Denmark as a prize, if you win the race.
Tomorrow one capsule of Cort Block for de Lie et al, and Magnus won’t stand a chance…De Lie and team are the Cort block:

Great job not taking seconds in the intermediate sprints, Cort.
Lost the race by one second because of that.

I'm sorry but how can you be this experienced and then think it's ok to not take seconds at an intermediate. Cort should've won this GC with Lotto completely ruining their own sprint
De Lie won by a second. It was kinda anticlimactic.
It felt like the GC was decided by stage 2 as you guys predicted.
A shame that no one lower down the GC was willing to attack on Stage 3 and 4. I guess it was just not hard enough.

De Lie almost messed it up - as I thought he might, but he won despite himself, so chapeau! Andresen another win, but Cort will remember to go for bonus seconds now.
