- Del Toro’s maturity shines. Third on GC and he’s still thinking about the team dynamics. If Adam Yates is actually improving, UAE can still control the base of the Alpe and let Tadej go on the last 6–7 km. Big “if” though.

I've had quibbles with some U.A.E. tactics, in this TDF, especially a few stages ago when they wasted a couple of riders in a failed breakaway that I thought was unnecessary, and in some other instances , as well. But I always remind myself that the team, including the DS, has proven themselves to be the best in the world at what they do, and not only in those races where Tadej is at the starting line. So, while I do nitpick from time-to-time, I do so with humility, realizing that they've some how managed to gain unmatched dominance without a bit of help from me.

It's interesting that Plugge blames the course, and the lack of proper warning, while his rider, Jonas V., blames his own carelessness. Clearly, the sharp curve wasn't adaquately policed, and there's no excuse with not doing more, doing everyting, in fact, to protect the riders; but it's also true that ALL the other 170 riders (approx.) made it through that curve, without incident, except for a few who were taken down by Jonas. It's also true that Visma either reconned the stage, or should have, and if they did, then their team should have been prepared for the situation, and, if they had extra concerns, they should have lodged their worries with the race organizers. If they did so, they have not indicated that they did.Instead of only placing blame on others, however warranted, Visma needs to look more closely at their own dereliction.

- Grande artículo, pero una duda: ¿por qué no neutralizan esos tramos urbanos tan peligrosos? Merci/thanks for any insight.

- Feel gutted for Lipowitz as well. GC getting decided by street furniture instead of watts and tactics is not the sport I want. Sort the route safety, then let them race.

- Pogacar nearly binning it on an unmarked ledge two days later kind of proves Plugge’s point. If the yellow jersey isn’t protected by maximum caution signage, who is?

- Can someone explain why a “central island marked but no other signs” is considered acceptable? Don’t they use those fluo foam barriers or the big chevron mats anymore?

- Sorry but blaming “the crowd” feels like a cop-out. The roundabout wasn’t marked properly—full stop. That’s on the organisers. Riders will always push; make the obstacles obvious or remove them.

- Two Alpe d’Huez finishes back-to-back is box-office, but packing crowds on Dutch Corner x2 seems mad after what we’ve seen. Love the spectacle, hate the risk calculus. Balance, please.

- Campenaerts cutting the corner behind the moto is a racing move you see all the time in crowded sections, but on a narrow traffic circle it becomes Russian roulette. Race jury and commissaires need to neutralise those choke points or at least yellow-flag them.
