Seixas vs. Del Toro is the battle I want to see.
They finished together in Il Lombardia (Del Toro being a little bit better on Passo di Ganda), who’s gonna be ahead now?
Three years in a row that Decathlon's main puncheur miss the Ardennes Classics (Lafay - 2024 and 2025, Benoot - 2026).
Lapeira and Cosnefroy were also injured last season.
I think he did it to avoid the peloton coming back.
For a guy like Donnenwirth, better chance to make a result in a 20-men group than in a bigger bunch.
