Episode notes
Carapaz Early Attack Turned Chasse Patate
- Richard Carapaz launched an early attack but misjudged timing and ended up isolated off the front, losing contact before descents.
- Benji said Carapaz either gets everything or ends in a chasse patate, illustrating his all-or-nothing style.
Shredded Shin And Gritty Comeback
- UAE rider Van Aert (Vamaka referenced) crashed on a twisty descent shredding his right shin on concrete but remounted and rode on with Del Toro.
- Patrick admired the gritty recovery and said his skin was shredded yet he stayed with the leader until the final climb.
UAE's Long Control Compressed The Race
- UAE Team took long stretches controlling the race early despite not needing to, which compressed opportunities for other teams.
- Their prolonged tempo reduced satellite attacks and set up a controlled finale rather than open GC fireworks.
