it wasn't different tires. It was better skills and more power. It's a risk going off the front before a climb like that because he's going to hit the climb with less anaerobic potential. Still, it's good that he risked it. But it wasn't the tires.
thanks for this, good info! 👍 to me it for sure looked like he dropped and then jammed his chain. commentators during the race said sth to that effect also and some news outlets still report that.

I feel bad for him. That footage will be shown for years...MVDP imperiously powering ahead and Garcia Cortina dismounted.
O pneu de Van der, não estava tão calibrado. Corretíssimo!
Damn, it's a shame a world tour team like movistar is not able to sort out a working setup for such an important race.

Even Ivan knows that the Koppenberg has it's place in the race because it's a part of the history.
Koppenberg doable? Sure, look at the women’s race, definitely more women riders reached the top on their bikes.
"He had different tires..." 🤣 Good luck, kid 🙄
Kid? He is longtime pro..incredible raider with power in his legs...for him was slippery not steep
@@ŠtefanKučera-o7d right
Mythical "Mullenberg" 😅
doh! Yeah, got my signals crossed.
