Well.... I guess we were wrong about it being a snoozefest!

That was a hell of a stage. Del Toro was either close to cooked or simply not smart tactically. Carapaz was smart to sit up and wait for Del Toro to panic chase, but it just never happened.

He didn't seem cooked to me at any point, therefore the second option should be the right one.

Imagine losing a Grand Tour you lead with some margin: not because you have not the legs and are overpowered in the long run or on multiple short attacks or on an unfavourable terrain; not because you have a bad day on the wrong day; not because there are natural or provoked circumstances that put you in a catastrophic situation; but just because you and your team are a bunch of wallies. ๐Ÿคฃ

Has to be the worst day on the car ever for the DS team at UAE. And conversely the best day ever for whoever was in the Visma car, I hope it's Jesper Mรธrkรธv (brother of Michael Mรธrkรธv who is now Danish national team coach).
