Carapaz give me strange vibes. How can someone be so smart sometimes and so dumb other times?

Not convinced what Carapaz is doing is smart, but then again, after seeing how O'Connor benefited from being ahead maybe he's hoping the peloton is even dumber

Angliru puncheur finish confirmed
He was super last year at Angliru, but he is still better compared to the rest at the ITT, Last year is not a good reference, becouse was Visma and no rivals. Vin gegaard wanst at his best and he didnt attack clearly for respect to Kuss.

This year Landa is clearly better and Mas is the best version maybe just watched once on the Tour and when he is second at Lombardia.

The other toime he climbed Angliru, he lost time with Carapaz and Mas, anbd he pout them important time on the ITT. he could be the best climber of the race, bur he is not a pure climber, and relatively to the others, he is very good for stages like yesterday, but no stage as today. anyway if Bora set the tempo and 10 riders go at the last parto of the last climb, he is the big favourite. Mas shoul attack him from the firts climb to Hazallanas to make him pain. and Roglic could recover time on thge descent, it is a descent for ITT riders.

You're gonna want 2 doms still medium rare by the top of Hazallanas I'd say. Also don't need to completely rip the lead in, but you do wanna blast the first section of the real thing.
The ideal scenario is Mas attacking and bridging up to Oliviera on the top.
