Even if Teuns was stronger than Landa, I'm not sure Fuglsang wouldn't be able to match him.
Already before the descent Fuglsang looked like if he had to he could've dug deeper, while Landa looked like he's been on the limit.
Anyway, Astana and Bahrain have set the stage for the remaining 4 days, and I wonder if McLaren has made a difference in the team's time trialing confidence.

I think Landa is not noted for his sprinting prowess. A few years ago (2017, I think), he and Tejay VG got clear of the field and dueled to the end of a stage in the Giro. Landa got outsprinted by Tejay for the win. If it were down to Fuglsang and Landa for a sprint, I would probably go with Fuglsang.
This will get moved to the Clinic...but I can't resist....Ferrari vs. McLaren and Ferrari won.
Forgive me mods.

Actually had the exact same thought when seeing the stage profiles yesterday. Compared to expectations this route is soooooo much better than this year's routes in PN and TA.

Maybe, but only if the group was together at the bottom of that last muro, but I have a feeling Fuglsang would went on the big climb with or without Landa, and Teuns wouldn't be able to hold his wheel there.
Anyway Bahrain did well, when you have the numbers, you go on the offensive, and they did.

As others have said a really nice route here, a pity only about 3 teams have bothered sending a decent team to the race.. everyone else going to Algarve/UAE which will likely be far less entertaining

Of course, this gives some room for up and coming young riders to step up. Like Vanhoucke for Lotto Soudal, McNulty for UAE,

How did they find 2 seconds between 2nd and 4th - A group of around 20 riders finished in a clump behind the winner.

I fully understand how gaps are measured - Go back and watch the first stage that that Pogacar won at Valencia in which they gave the first nine riders the same time - See if there is consistency.
Mas at least looked a lot better today. Hopefully he will show more in upcoming races. I know he has been sick since Mallorca.
