No risk, no glory. They took the risk and it looks like it will pay off unless peloton finds another gear.

Only about 5 back from Rogla. If O'Connor blows today he could be back in the game.
Funny, was thinking the same thing thing (and I do it too), but figured ah, that’s just the way of the forum.

2nd time up the climb will be a whole different kettle of fish.

You know they are going to go harder on the 2nd time up, right?
Last 25k is a descent and Adam Yates isn't feeling the pedals
Time to panic yet?

..well yes, but maybe it's another mistake by the GC guys in the long run
Carapaz even gaining back 2 minutes today would be a great result for him, the fatigue aspect is dulled too because it's rest day tomorrow.

You know that Adam Yates is one of the best climbers in the world, right?

Most likely. But I can hope that Yates finds his inner Pog
Anyway I am betting that Bora will be focused on O'Connor.

In a dolomitic stage with 3 hard climbs in the second one use to be attack for the first riders on GC. They have climbed Hazallanas first time at a good pace for Roglic, so it will be difficult he has problems at the end. We will see anyway, but at the moment, just quite desperate riders quite far on GC.
Don’t think I’d go for a home in a narrow valley just downstream from a big dam. But that’s just me.

Adam Yates now virtually ahead of Rogla in GC. Completely unnecessary and avoidable if they chased harder before the main climbs.
O'Connor and his squad are already blowing it by having little to no control. It's pessimistic for sure to think he can't hold red for 2 more weeks, but probably realistic, they should play the short game and defend the jersey and not bet the long shot that O'Connor will end up winning overall. EF and UAE throwing everything at it and O'Connor's supporting riders are not up to the task, Bora doing more of the same. Taking it back a little at a time. Nobody can realistically think that if you race Roglic and O'Connor next to each other for 3 weeks that O'Connor will best the ski jumper.
Jay Vine and Yates both making the best of a bad situation.
A hydrologist has gotta live somewhere
Good descender I think, gained a lot in breaks but liable to crack on the next climb

It was +2 Carapaz and almost +6 Peloton. I just don't trust this GPS sometimes.

The fact that Carapaz has gained 4 minutes on the favorites in 2 climbs and descents time...
