- Not sure I buy the ānobodyās faultā line entirely. Course safety has to be better. A world champ face-planting on a stray stone isnāt just bad luck. Where were the motos and commissaires?

- Matxin handled that interview with class. No blame game, just honesty. Cyclingās brutal ā one second youāre flying, next youāre in an ambulance. Ćnimo Tadej, vuelve fuerte.

- Quick question: when they said a rock on the road caused it near the finish, isnāt the run-in supposed to be swept by organisers? How common is that this late in a stage?

- Gutted for Pogi. Shoulder injuries can be tricky ā if itās AC joint or collarbone, Worlds might be tight. Fingers crossed itās just heavy contusions and those eyebrow stitches are minor.

- Brutal day. You could see the whole UAE train soft-pedalling after the crash ā pure respect to ride in as a group behind Coquard by 11ā. Says a lot about team unity.

- Love Brennanās candour though. Two stage wins already, heās earned the right to speak. Reset, recover, and pick a cleaner run-in later in the week. Go on lad!

- Bit rich to call others āsuperheroesā when you also dive for gaps in sprints. Feels like excuses after missing the wheel. Own the positioning errorāLaporte and WvA canāt do everything.

- Pogacar down, DNFs before the start, pile-up in the last km⦠safety protocols need a look. Barriers and road furniture on these Spanish urban finishes are brutal. UCI y la organización, por favor, mÔs seguridad.

- Can someone explain what āpedaling at 160 wattsā means in this context? Is that like super easy pace for these guys? Trying to understand why there were still so many crashes if it was āeasy.ā

- Wild stage. Brennanās quotes hit hard but heās not wrongāfinale was a bowling alley. Tenth after all that chaos isnāt catastrophic, but Vismaās train never properly formed once he lost Laporteās wheel.
