exactly this

he was complete empty yesterday, so yes, that effects also a 3-4 minutes push.

he was just ill and is not in his best shape as a result

I don't expect much of MvdP tomorrow, seems completely dead after todays stage. Till 20k to go it looks liked he could spent till Monday in yellow, but I guess he will be dropped on the last ascent Tomorrow. I had the impression in the TT that he was not super anymore. And today he completely...

seems difficult for MvdP to keep yellow tomorrow. Seems completely spent after today. Never going to win against Pog tomorrow.

seems the first break stage? A lot of riders are distanced now. Pog not necassary would need to keep yellow. And probably is eager to lose the KOM jersey as well to someone in the break. Tomorrow seems easier to control if Pog wants another stage before the mountains. Hopefully MvdP and van Aert...

I would say MvdP is one of the favorite for Today, but a bit less than 2 days ago. First, the final is a bit thougher and especially the final climb is super tricky, I would say, already outside the "comfort" zone from MvdP. But, maybe more important, the final has more opportunities for all...

MvdP not going for green? Not even trying to get some minor points

First Paris Roubaix is just one race, second, I made an exception for the flatter races. Paris Roubaix is the one race where MvdP always has a strong team (although most of those helpers are leaving now).

I always found that MvdP had limited support (well in the flatter races it's ok, but in the hillier ones not), but next year a lot of his better helpers will be gone to other teams. And the situation get worse. Del Grosso can step up, but I guess that's still not enough.....

I'm not seeing the "revolutionary model" behind this one cycling project neither. None of the participants of the projects seems that they can explain while, other than saying "cycling needs a better model". First 300 milioen oil dollars are necassary to get the project alive. What makes that a...

so silly, there will never be a tour again with so many changes on stages wins for him.

difficult to find some proper information about length and hills in the era before the Mur de Huy on the internet.

even with Pog and Remco the scenario is the same of this race, boring
