Just the one?
My hope is Tao does well at his first TdF and I do believe Carapaz could get on a podium.
I love to see them – any rider –being combative, but we’ve come to expect efforts like those two were putting in today to stick. And they haven’t been sticking for the past 12 months.
Not sure how to give them the benefit of the doubt when there’s been consistency from others while they’ve been down.
I want to be wrong, though. I have a soft spot for G and Berny.

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.
