Everything GC teams did this. Thats why they were pushing until 3KM. And thats why there was this rule because the organizer didnt want GC involvement to complicate things for safety issuse.
Roglic was not playing the safe card because he wanted to gain time, but this was not the design of this...
The 3K rule was stated well before the start of La Vuelta. There was nothing to be unfair as this was a stage the organizer didn't want to be a GC stages. If there was no 3K rule, surely every GC team would take the approach different. I don't see why the complain here and on Eurosport. Remco...
He should be on his teammate wheel. Remco just stop pedalling where he could hold on. Strange tactics all over this season. I nearly thought they changed all the DS.
I dont know if I was watching a random small race or a major classic. Most of the riders didnt even bother to win.
What a fail from Jumbo. They had 3 riders from a small leading group which could go all the way.
He should take both, not because of stage wins, but the publicity. Jakobsen is more like a guy who doesn't like proper lead out, while Cav appreciate Morkov a lot. It might work putting Cav on a train and let Jakobsen follows Ewan wheel.
Indeed, he is not good at gravel section. There was a race last year he also ran out of gas. Thats why he strongly urge to cancel this section before the race.
Lol this looked really bad on him.
He didn't have the legs to follow wheels of Matteo. This was what caused him the win.
What should Fabio do?Stop and wait for Fabio at 60km/h when all his teammates were leading out Matteo?This is an absolute joke.
Even first class sprinters won't blame his...
