Richard Carapaz (Ineos-Grenadiers) had the misfortune of getting a puncture inside of the last 20 kilometers. With the front peloton is full flight, it was going to be very hard for the Ecuadorian to have a chance to chase back onto the front group. So in what I, and others, thought was a very rare tactical mistake, Ineos-Grenadiers sent Jonathan Castroviejo back to help his teammate in the chase. Together they were unsuccessful, eventually being caught by the next group on the road. Now instead of one of their super domestiques losing a minute or two, they now have dropped two of their options out of contention. And they burned the legs of two more riders ahead of tomorrow's very tough mountain stage. In addition, they but their leader at risk should he have had a mechanical as well with only one remaining teammate to assist.
