If he’d lost, then it would’ve been stupid.
I think his tactical awareness is under-estimated, despite the fact that he’s good enough to make up for poor tactical choices with his strength. I think he knew his team wasn’t strong enough to control the race until the final 50 kms, and everyone expected him to attack to overcome that, but he still went earlier than they were expecting and caught them all out.

Is everyone buying this ‘it was stupid’ line?

He’s been pushing the breaks further and further out. This was a logical extension. Strade was 80k? Why not try 100.
