So, yesterday Del Toro had a mech and was waiting by the side of the road, but his team car just drove past him.
Visma, and then Netcompany, pulled over to help him out, but that's potentially a time penalty as it's not allowed (if the comis notice it)

The UAE mechanic got a 500CH fine for running the wrong way up the road. So they must have seen something.

I don’t think Del Toro getting taken out of GC contention by a helping hand from Visma would sit well with a lot of cycling fans, however well intended.

I thought I saw the mechanic mount the bike and cycle up the road to him.

Quite possibly. The info I had came from NZ commentary.
