It's like UAE told Del Toro to stick to Carapaz's wheel during the prerace bus meeting. And then UAE and Del Toro just stayed the course despite everything.
A+ for sticking to the plan, F- for adaptability.
Del Toro's sprint at the line was cringe to watch. Like, bro, burn that energy earlier when it mattered.
Yeah, but then its majka's job to be the road captain and give new instructions. I can just imagine the convo when majka joined del toro in the valley...
RM: "YOU LET YATES TAKE HOW MANY MINUTES?????"
IDT: "DS told me to stay with carapaz...."
RM: "OK, we close the gap now. Brandon and i will pace you up the final climb"
IDT: "nah, i'm good fam..."
Everyone is able to do a 5 second flat sprint no matter how tired... It doesnt mean you didnt empty the tank on a climb...
