If he did Alaphilippe threw away a gold attacking on cobbles. He could have definitely reached the finish line with Moscon and outsprinted himPopchu said:Moscon closed the gap with Alaphilippe?Billie said:http://sporza.be/cm/sporza/matchcenter/mc_wielrennen/Comp_WK_wielrennen-2017/1.3065384

And Gaviria, why did he all those attacks? He could've won it. :Neutral:

Explain to me how Sagan used the right tactics, and Matthews didn't? This is what I mean by Sagan fans' hypocrisy. Matthews' best chance was a sprint, that's what he did - like Sagan. GvA tried to follow an attack but couldn't (not to excuse the general belgian tactics).KGB said:First time this year Sagan did perfect combination of his power and best tacticts to win this race.Today he uses Kwiatkowsky biggest tool:tactits.Happy for Matthews and Gva results I mean Belgium and Aussie team how they **** ups once again.
It doesn´t work for me either. Shame, i would have loved to see it.sir fly said:Can't play it, too.fauniera said:Can't see anything.Billie said:http://sporza.be/cm/sporza/matchcenter/mc_wielrennen/Comp_WK_wielrennen-2017/1.3065384

They're apologizing to me, but not much use of it.
I don't see how Australia f**ked it up.

He never was a great tactician, but at least he shows that he doesn't want to be just a bunch sprinter. But in this case he should have just followed Sagan...DNP-Old said:For real, what the f was he thinking? 1) Bettiol was always going to chase when Moscon got caught, 2) he has Uran with him, 3) no one in their right mind is taking Gaviria to the line in a group of 4. Some incredibly dumb tactics on display here.

He's beaten both Sagan and Kristoff in flat sprints in the past. He wasn't favourite but he had a decent chance, especially as it was a hard race.tobydawq said:Brullnux said:Explain to me how Sagan used the right tactics, and Matthews didn't?

Sagan is much faster than Matthews and was never going to not be in the sprint, so Matthews was never going to win in the sprint.
Maybe he means how Bling tried and failed to go with the attack a bit earlier? I agree that there wasn't too much difference in their tactics.Brullnux said:Explain to me how Sagan used the right tactics, and Matthews didn't? This is what I mean by Sagan fans' hypocrisy.

"He (Moscon) should've been pulled out. He affected the final.
The car was going so hard with him the motorcycle lost their trail - uphill. Not done."

I thought about that but I was able to watch the other videos so I figured it was something else.ajsko29 said:Screecher said:It doesn´t work for me either.

You need a VPN to Belgium I have used Hide My IP Opera/Chrome, it's free (for a few days per month)

Right tactics he waited for sprint and did not attack.That was only his chance to win.Brullnux said:Explain to me how Sagan used the right tactics, and Matthews didn't?

Matthews was faster two or three years ago when Canondalle *** up Sagan speed.Recently Sagan is faster even Matthews time to time beat himBrullnux said:Sanremo two years ago, a vuelta stage once, that Tour stage in which orica actually had a plan.It doesn't happen often but occasionally it does. He has beaten Kristoff regularly and Kristoff was centimetres away today, so it wasn't the wrong tactic. Just double standards
