I wonder where the "new and exciting" racing Ineos showed in the classics has gone to?RichN95. said:The only times there has been a time difference between Carapaz and Hindley was the TT and when there was a peloton split at the end of stage 1

Poor stage design with that finale but Hindley's attacks - even on previous stages - are in such a small gear and so short lived he's never going to get a gap. The other two at least have had a go at times.

Really weird "tactics" from Bora. Seemed designed to wear themselves out and let Ineos shelter.
Hindley couldn't distance Geoghegan Hart two years ago, I think he's probably just playing the cards he has.0 -
Don't think Ineos need to display "new and exciting" tactics in this situation do they - isn't the onus on the other teams to do something? Although I am sure Carapaz would prefer a bigger lead.phreak said:*sigh*

Bora put the pressure on early but couldn't back it up in the end.
Didn't seem too bad given I was half watching it between meetings and other work, but I imagine it wasn't if you watched the whole thing. Might make an OK 30 mins highlights package...0 -

I must have blinked and missed that.

They've got the best rider back (in this race at least). So they've gone back to sensible racingTwitter: @RichN950 -
I'd imagine they'd rather have a bit more of a lead than they currently have, just to allow for any eventualities or mishaps to happen.bobmcstuff said:

Nah, there was never space to go up the inside on a bend like that.kingstongraham said:Watching it back, he should lose that.
So far in this race the best way to have some racing is to class it as a non-GC day. I think this also shows that really closely matched riders don't necessarily make for good racing. It is missing Almeida and his TT threat, I was quite enjoying his style of riding which is like in a horror film where the doomed teenagers run away from the psycho who keeps walking and eventually catches up with them.2 -
From a GC perspective this is just dull.... some nice scenery though.“You may think that; I couldn’t possibly comment!”

Hindley must be pretty gutted to be in this position again. But probably no go in the pink jersey this time.2020/2021/2022 Metric Century Challenge Winner0

Bora tried bringing it back but they just wasted a lot effort ...

Carapaz does, and is in the hot seat.gsk82 said:They're still a load of second tier riders who don't know how to win.
Up to the others to knock him off it.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Whole thing reminds me of Sorenson putting Luc Leblanc into the barriers in the 96 tour at a very similar finishkingstongraham said:Pross said:
