They chased with their strongest guy... OOPS.
Lotto hasn't won a classic since Marc Coucke and his millions of euros left them

Zinoviev Letter said:It’s hilarious. Some posters here are so emotionally attached to the argument that even the best puncheurs in the world are fools for thinking that they can beat Valverde on the Mur that they can’t let it go even in the immediate aftermath of one of the top puncheurs in the world beating Valverde after waiting for the Mur.

They have won one of the biggest one day races this year. You can't call that a classic, though, I'll give you that.
I don't think saying Alaphillipe was stronger and was going to beat Valverde on the Mur today is a controversial statement.hrotha said:A 75 m top effort after a slow approach is not the same as a 200, 300 or 400 m top effort after a harder approach, and the balance of strength isn't necessarily maintained unaltered over those different scenarios. I don't think this is a controversial statement.jaylew said:Alaphillipe was going to win today no matter what. He was simply stronger than Valverde.El Pistolero said:hrotha said:Turns out waiting for Valverde to launch his attack from his ideal distance was not smart. Who knew.
Indeed. Courtesy of Nibali & Co for smoking Valverde's team.

SSJ2 Gohan up against Cell?
Valverde's a much greater foe than Cell was. He's more of an Omega Shenron.RedheadDane said:So... to return to our Dragon Ball talk from earlier; who'd Alaphilippe be?

Prestigious race, but not long enough for me to consider it a classic. Probably needs to become a bit older as well, as the word classic implies that history of a race is important as well. No doubt it will become a classic one day however.
My statement is self-evident, yours is informed speculation.jaylew said:I don't think saying Alaphillipe was stronger and was going to beat Valverde on the Mur today is a controversial statement.

Meanwhile the most celebrated of the daring attackers - Nibali - ended up finishing behind Landa, over two minutes off the pace.
