    JV is racing, but far more intelligently.

    True, but it wasn’t recognised as such when Valverde used to do it.

    Jonas knows there's already an informal alliance between Remco and Pog, there's no way he's going to share work with them just to take a kicking later. Especially given that they never even gave him enough respite to get on his bike again

    Everybody still obsessing about Tratnik's bike. I don't think they need to worry. He's doing OK on it.

    This stage needs a couple of cobbled sections.

    He's having to use up a bit of energy in this chase.

    Are motorbikes allowed on these roads...?

    (when there aren't bike races on them...)

    It's not a huge issue, but it's not optimal. I think the main thing about it is that UAE made sure he couldn't change it. All's fair in love and war and everything, but it gives Jonas a chance to say "nah, not today"
