Yep even when he was pushing and the rest were nursing the tyres, he wasn't pulling away. Then on his comeback through the field he still ran out of tyres at the end, his last lap was slower than any normal laps from all those that finished ahead of him. He managed to burn through 2 sets of tyres while Markelov was still quicker out front. de Vries was always a bit poor at tyre conservation last year, I guess he hasn't learned anything better.
