Are the riders mentioning Del Toro's allegiances in the race actually "having a pop", or just noting the facts of their tactical conundrums?
I mean it's fairly well accepted that if you're in the world's and your nation isn't going to get a result and you aren't going to get a result you might help out a teammate, isn't it? Nobody's actually surprised by it, and I assume nobody's actually outraged by it either

Now I don't follow pro racing much at all, but that chase group was loaded and I've barely heard of McNulty, shirley they should have caught him and probably would have if it wasn't for that ridiculous freewheel stall when 10-15secs behind the American.
I’ve been reading some posts as surprised, and outraged. Pidcock too, amongst others.
I may have been misreading.

Lefty tighty. Get it righty.
So, I went off on a Cav quotes search and I got this hilarious bit of AI gobbledegook.
I'm pretty sure that "Soylent green is people" has never been attributed to Cav, other than by Copilot.
Someone else called Timothy Cavendish, in an entirely different world, maybe ...
Charlton Heston, definitely
Cav? nope
Maybe I'm wrong

This.
I think there are plenty of riders that might be annoyed, but only in the same way they'd have been annoyed if e.g. Bling managed to get an actual win out of sitting in.
I think I need to watch some of the final kms again though, I lost track quite badly of which groups were which and where riders were. Both Remco and Wout having RedBull helmets was particularly annoying when you could only catch a glimpse of a rider at the back of the group...
In the womens race when the others caught Demi after her solo ride then they sat on her wheel for a while. My thoughts were if they do this for much longer then attack her, there might be repercussions in other races. However they did start working and played the game.
So I wonder how might those who believe Del Torro played the team UTE game might react if they end up in break with him.
Thats if they can survive sitting on his wheel.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Reading the Pidcock ‘having a pop’ interview it definitely came across as the latter to me.

Fair, though I think Pidcock could probably tell you he knew a superb cafe with the best cake in the world, great service, friendly owner, comfortable seats, cycle parking and all very cheap and still sound like he was having a pop at it

Yorkshireman though isn’t he? Never happy even when he’s happy.
