A full French top5, thank you. Cost No Fry, Sexy Ass, Wacky Lin, Lenny and Greg.
Busy Oh! should be full domestique today.
My bet is Wacky Lin, he's learned the perfect pacing strategy for MDH.
Incredible to be hovering around top15 when none of my rarer riders (bar Tiberi, who has cooled drastically off) is making headwinds. Goes to show how many of the major cq points have been rewarded to the most expensive or the most popular riders in general. More moaning in this thread than usual😉
It looks cowardly, I agree on that. But it also shows who uses their brain when they race. It made no sense to use so much effort for a marginal gain the day before the real struggles begin. Jonas is smart, Remco is bold and eager.
So Remco just told reporters that he was about to change grip on his handle bars when he hit an unmarked pothole, lost his grip and crashed. Seemed in good spirits never the less. Good to hear, freak accident.
And noone sees the off-chance of Pogi "allowing" Del Torro to attack first on Poggio to force his competition to react as possible? Maybe it's a way for UAE to win despite the unfavorable wind conditions.
I don't think Van Der Poel will just let Del Torro slide away, though.
UAE are likely to...
