Think the key to Groenewegens improved form is race selection. Like many sprinters he wanted to ride stage races because the mentality is you have 2 or 3 chances to win as opposed to a one day ra e.
It's very disappointing for Jayco who have a non WT level squad for cobbled races. They miss out on a rider who is WT standard at this level and they miss out on UCI points.
Strange tactics for jayco to have Ackermann in the late break, seeing he did A GOOD SPRINT on Friday. Anyway deBondt has taught jayco to ride one day races.
So you place an unfair burden on some riders to participate in more races so you can cottonwool selected riders for Pogacar. I doubt you can run a team like this.
