    Ahhhh.... So Movistar chased Carapaz and pulled along a vulnerable Pogacar because they were already resigned to not being able to beat him. Kinda makes sense, assuming Mas stands a chance against Carapaz... which he doesn’t! Just super annoying since they neutralised what was looking to be an incredibly interesting scenario of WVA and MVDP having 5-6 mins of Pog and Carapaz taking a minute on him too. Now it’s just boring since no one can beat Pogacar.

    Carapaz treasoned Movistar, went to race in some ramdom criteriums in September -for money- without permission, and then signed with Ineos, again with Movistar not knowing a word of it. Movistar hoped Carapaz would be their leader for the next years. Thus, the revenge, first in La Vuelta the last day, and now here. Not the first time we see this kind of movements in cycling, remember Armstrong.

If Van Aert had taken 2 minutes more (or even 1.5 minutes more), he would have not attacked yesterday and perhaps ended the stage with Uran and Carapaz, taken the yellow and would have ridden to defend it today on a not so steep mountain. He would be very close to pogacar right now, perhaps still in yellow, with 5 minutes or more on the other podium contenders with a TT to come but instead he's given up.

    I don't think that Movistar was chasing out of malice. It's just too ridiculous.

You showed the moment perfectly where Movistar had the opportunity to get away with four Ineos riders in their wheel.
    I just thought of something though. If I were Ineos in that picture, I would try to let the wheel go and let 4 Movistar riders up the road.

  • @marianogamboa1287
    @marianogamboa1287 3 года назад

    Had any team had the numbers Movistar had, they would have ridden to limit their loses to Carapaz. Even though, yes, the other leaders were isolated, there would have to be at least a decent climb to attack, as well as have guts and good legs. GC racing does not happen on flat terrain as they cancel each other out so quickly. Rigo was isolated because EF had ridden Higuita and Powless. So Movistar, just like BEX did on stage 20 of the Giro by riding Chris Juul-Jensen, were just riding their race, it just so happens to be that they had too much firepower that it came out looking bad.

    Movistar do a lot of thinking and get the wrong answer quite often. Put it down to the DS is not the greatest tactical thinker. Lots of sports have that problem with a decision maker.

    Carapaz betrayed Movistar after he promised he would stay if they would win the Giro. Movistar does not have a rider that can win the Tour for now, so they should forget about him!

    If Moviestar is utilizing their team and all that goes with that in terms of tikme, $, and resources just to spite Carpapaz, then they have absolutely lost their minds. And as poor as some race tactics are sometimes within certain teams, I highly doubt that this could have been more than a happy coincidence for anyone within the organization that has anything against Carapaz. They were just playing their best tactic as they saw it in the moment. I really do not think the main goal was to wreck someone else's chances. It was just an unhappy coincidence for Carapaz. But from a tactical standpoint, I do not think it is something that Ineos could have predicted Moviestar would choose to do when sending Carapaz in the move.

    Movistar chased because Carapaz F'ed them over and lied to them then signed with Ineos.

    Movistar just didn't want Carapaz to gain too much time on Mas, that's all. Easy one. I don't understand why a lot of you guys, didn't see that.

      @Stefan Bà and at the same time they dragged Pogacar to the finish with fresh legs. Instead, they should have put pressure on Pogacar to pull back Carapaz. These dudes get paid to make pro decisions and amateur ones.

    Riding for the Team Classification again, LOL. I don't understand why any team tries to defend their lower GC positions with Pogi still in the group. Let the moves go, and let Pogi burn matches chasing his closest rival on his own. Instead they gave Pogi a free tow to the finish letting him conserve energy, and then today he puts minutes into Mas on the penultimate climb.. Que bobos!

    Because Movistar held a grudge against him after he left the team. Movistar was giving him low salary. He was offered higher from other teams the reason he left Movistar. The movistar coach even called him traitor and disgrace and doesn't even want to mention his name. Just saw it in Netflix. "The least expected day" team movistar.

      No that's not the truth. They explain more details in S2. Carapaz committed with Ineos before he won the Giro. His agent wasn't truthful about it, making it seem like Carapaz was interested in staying at Movistar/willing to negotiate a new contract. Movistar was willing to drop Landa to keep Carapaz, which is what they did. I heard rumors that Movistar found out the accidently from Ineos, not from Carapaz or his agent. That's some shady game-playing.

    And isn't it that Movistar is after the team qualification? Could this be the reason? They have no chance in the main categories and if I recollect correctly they pride themselves on winning the team qualification.

    I was thinking that if Movistar were chasing Carapaz just out of spite it was a really bad way to ruin the race and their image as a team. But this video makes me think they just had questionable tactics and maybe consider him a close rival to Mas. I hope so because we want to see a race run properly and what happened at the Vuelta was not good for cycling. Keep the beef off the road please.
