I don't recall there being any sense of Carapaz gone rogue. I think there was a big sigh as he fell off the pace early (one less GC contender for Ineos) and, after that, as there other folks fell off, too, they were just happy to have some results.
guess i was just trying to stir up drama/get other opinions as to whether there was umbrage or not since my coverage of the vuelta wasn't the best this go round.

thinking your lad yatesie might have slotted into fourth or fifth had his "viral load" been that of ayuso's (or less).

ineos took quite the squad to the vuelta. if carapaz hadn't refocused/recalibrated after the initial disappointment of un jour sans in the first week, woulda been slim pickings for them. agreed on your results analysis.
