What's with this current urge to write everything off after one slightly disappointing result? Ineos' three leaders all lost time yesterday, so they needed to make the final climb hard today to get rid of domestiques and make it a straight race between the leaders. They did that, then Bernal went, got pulled back, Thomas went, twice, and got pulled back, Bernal went again, but got pulled back. So they threw everything at it, but it backfired a bit and they lost time on most of the other GC riders.
C'est la vie, but they died with their boots on.
Not just Rog and Pog, Yates looked good today. WVA being 15 seconds up on Geraint Thomas is a huge warning sign for them. If they're backing Thomas for a grand tour, it better be the Vuelta and Bernal got dumped off the back as well.
