Apparently it's what you said, (according to someone on Reddit quoting van der Breggen) they were only given the gap to the group ahead of them, not to the front of the race

That's incorrect and they're just trying to cover their rear end. They probably just kept asking about the group in front and never asked for the leader.

You might not get an accurate time gap but the race leader car is a completely different colour to the rest, they should have known from that.

Yeah it's a lot less funny now that it's not a Dutch tactics fuckup, it's a race org fuckup.

Still a fuckup if they didn't keep track of who went up the road and who was back

Also you let the break have 10 minutes with about 30km of non-downhill remaining

ELB and Lotte Kopecky both knew Kiesenhofer was ahead, Deignan didn't. Even if the motos didn't consistently relay time gaps, it's kind of important to keep track yourselves. Talk amongst the peloton and find out.

The race organizers unfairly gave the Dutch only four spots so they had no chance to fall back to their team car for accurate information.

Kiesenhofer went up the road on her own with 40km to go. Are they trying to claim not once did anyone get told that info?

Lmfao just take the L. Your team hosed the tactics up massively because it was full of egos instead of 1 leader and 3 team mates.

i'm almost positive they got greedy and wanted to sweep the podium instead of doing the sensible thing and packing at least two roleurs and keeping the break on a leash when anyone with a brain knew they'd be forced to chase all day by the peloton

Yeah I think a lot of it was arrogance from the Dutch team. Solo attack to try and close a 7 minute gap instead of pacing with the group, wtf

At that point some teams had kind of started working a bit on the front too. Germany had put some people there and then all of a sudden the Dutch are just attacking continuously until one of them got away and then everyone sat up.

All they'd have had to do is one of them go there and start working, not even super hard and that break is caught before they get to the race track.

Other dutch riders knew, too. Combination of him and the team - also him arriving with only one day's prep may have been a factor (the tiny child has been out for weeks)

I’m not sure it’s an excuse here really, just explaining why he crashed. Still his gently caress up as clearly everyone else knew.

If you watch him come over the rock he obviously was expecting a ramp.
