To me this is a reminder that team culture matters. A bunch of great individuals with not enough togetherness can be lacking in moments that count. Canyon SRAM is not the strongest squad on pure metrics but they have a great team culture.
I also find it delightful that Marianne came prepared with green podium shoes. She’s not the GOAT for nothing! |

Like, 5 seconds worth of helping Demi get back to the peleton! She lost over 2 minutes in that crash and still lost the Tour by just 4 seconds. Not hard to see she's still the top GC rider today.

Now imagine if Lotte Kopecky had been in the race for SD Worx.

I was very happy to see Kasia win.

Vollering benefitted from bonus seconds throughout the week. And also lost because of the bonus seconds, in a way.
I don't think her TT win gave her any bonus seconds, but today she got 10, Saturday she got 4, and the finish behind Puck got her 6 more - that's a total of 20 seconds. Did KN get any all week? I think she got 4 in the sprint behind Demi and Puck. So the net for Demi is 16. Without those bonus seconds, the gap at the finish would've been 20 seconds behind KN instead of 4. On the other hand, had Demi won the sprint against Puck, she would've got 4 more bonus seconds (10 for first, 6 for second), meaning... a tie on total time between KN and DV, maybe decided by hundredths of a second? |

If Sram would not have been motoring to the line after the crash of half the peloton.
Vollering should have gotten back on her bike sooner though. |

She got more than road rash, her back was clearly very painful. Which it still was yesterday on the Alpe D'Huez.
