[rick james]

So unlucky

 

[TMP402]

Talk about an elimination race.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Lammertink elimates half the opposition

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Albasini gone

What's Herrada's sprint like?

Not a chance against these guys.

He's got no chance in a sprint with that group

I've lost interest in this race. Whoever wins, it won't have been fully on merit after that crash.

Seriously?

 

[Sestriere]

van Aert looks good.

Lammertink and Meurisse were sure to smash the sprint until that point.

Super weird tactics by the crossers. Are they happy to sprint against trentin?

I think MVP might be

 

[jaylew]

You would think Herrada would try something but I think he's spent.

Tbh I don't know exactly how well they can sprint but I just have a hard time seeing them beating someone like trentin who wins bunch sprints.

He outsprinted Bouhanni this year

After that fall, it really was on Italians to lose.
Congrats to Trentin.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Van Aert should have tried on the last climb. Was always going to be bronze.

Didn't know that. Still, can't say I'm surprised about how this ended

Agreed

 

[franic]

Pure Italian team class.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Nice sprint! Trentin with the 2 cyclocross guys

edit: for the ones wondering. I think Vd Poel can have some faith in his sprint after beating Bouhanni earlier this year and everyone and their mother at Dutch NC

I mean, he won, but also, Trentin is not a bunch sprinter per se. The wins I can think of like Paris-Tours or several of his GT stages were where he broke away solo or was the only sprinter in a breakaway. Don't get me wrong, I like him a lot and he used to be my avatar, but he's about a fourth or fifth tier bunch sprinter.

 

[Salvarani]

Nice from Trentin, he has had a bit of an unlucky season with crashes and injuries so that was good

 

[Andy262]

Podium more satisfying than the race really.
