Well that was fun. Brutal, but fun. So far a pretty entertaining race for the naysayers.

That's epic from Vacek. Shame he was in my CQ team 2 years ago but not this year.

What an exciting and brutal stage to start the GC season. Weird move by Buitrago to attack his teammate, everyone knows you wait and hang on and only attack if your teammate gets caught. Ride of the day was Vacek for sure, for a non GC guy he sure gave everyone a run for their money.

RB seem kinda fraudulent recently sans Rog
Don't know what happened to O'Connor either, usually good in these, maybe those Decathlon bikes give you wings.

Shame Kern-Pharma are so bad at TTT for this race. He could earn them a lot of points in those asian unipuerto races though.
With the GC situation I don't blame Buitrago for attacking.
I don't think it will be easy to gap Vacek tomorrow and every second may count.

Depends on how much today has taken out of Vacek, he must've gone way over the limit.
Not bad watts for the start of the season

Looks like Israel Premier Tech said to Lutsenko, you go for it mate ...and the rest of them went for a coffee ride.

To be honest, it is not that good compared to the world class climbers.Depends on how much today has taken out of Vacek, he must've gone way over the limit.

Indeed. Also the fact that only six days ago he became the national TT champion.

Surely his coach would have called him back. I think they had to make sure that they would take the win and the time. If Santi had waited the GC could have been out of reach. I think it was bad optics but the right strategy.

No, he should have attacked sooner when it was still in doubt whether Bilbao could hold on. If he had done that, he would also be leading the race now.

This exactly. He would’ve been ~20 seconds behind Almeida if he had waited which would be tricky to make up on the easier stage tomorrow.
