After Mas recovered from his TDF injury, he then had a training crash which resulted in him losing training time. I expect Mas to fade during the TDF.

Well to be honest Kuss rarely gets to go full out in an ITT, he did it in the Giro and had an awesome time at the end. The only problem is if the team would tell him to go easy, that would suck majorly. I doubt he loses 3 minutes to Vinge or Roglic even on a flat TT. 25km TT is less than 30 min effort.

I was thinking that the whole time—after Roglic went there were so many separate top groups-solos to follow we were bound to miss the action in some them (which we did).

A good performance by the other Lenny too (Van Eetvelt) - 12th came in with Buitrago at only 1min 32 sec down on Kuss.
Looks good for another breakaway later in the Vuelta.

I honestly think they should just show the footage of every single camera on screen simultaneously.
I don't think he's gonna take it on the flat stage tomorrow.
Why not just enjoy the awesome stage rather than immediately looking for just desserts?

Quite clear he had a bad day if guys like Mas, who couldn't touch him last year, were simply riding away.
I just hope he's not ill and can bounce back. If he's beaten because others are stronger, that's fine, but today he was clearly struggling with his pacing, almost even losing Cattaneo's wheel.

Vendrame finishing the stage despite abandoning, amazing!
Which suggests that Storer's pace on the climb was good - I think Storer could get a stage win.

Mas dropped him multiple times last year.

great stage, two takeaways
first, Ineos is the biggest loser team on earth. why the HELL were they pulling today? they do not have a real GC rider in this race. their DS should be fired.
second, Remco needs to shut his mouth about giving the jersey away. he did the same thing at the Giro and got away with it, but not today. his team is going to pay hard for what they had to do today and it's all his own fault because he has a big mouth.

You do know that they dropped Mas and that the two of them together were able to go faster than either alone? They rode it perfectly.

sick? taking the last few km on a big mountain climb faster than Vingegaard & Roglich.
no excuses, he did good, and managed that time-loss perfectly.... its still the best grand tourers in the world that Remco is fighting against... impressive that he could limit that loss.

They slowed down at the end a bit it seems.

In addition, the odds of Mas being able to outclimb both Vingegaard and Roglic over three weeks are pretty slim, even in the Vuelta. Even if he had stayed with them, it would have been worth it for the time gain on Evenepoel.
Obviously all the concerns folks had about the effect of the Tour-Vuelta double or Giro -Vuelta double are easily solved by just riding all three

Think Storer will have to do a lot of domestique duty tbh, only guy on Groupama who can stay with Martinez in a peloton of <30 riders. And Martinez will likely stay in the top-3 until at least Tourmalet, assuming the jersey isn't offloaded to a breakaway.

He already made a decision with the team. We are left with having patience.

Ineos should switch to full stage hunting at this point. The DS of the sport got to know that. Should mean free reigns just for just about anyone on the team to join breaks etc., so he will have his possiblities now.
