There was that one race where the INEOs guy (may have been Ian Stannard) beat 2 Quickstep riders in one of the early one day races. Today’s race was such a tactical failure for Jumbo
As Powless said in an interview afterwards, nine times out of ten Wout beats him in and that sprint and that if they played around with attacks the group behind might have caught them.
Thanks for the context. Admittedly I missed the last 10k, only saw photos and a post race summary on Cyclingnews. The outcome makes a lot more sense even if the optics are still bad.

The only error all these teams did was to prioritize decision on star factor.
Bet 100$ Benoot is royally pissed.
