3 from the same team? I doubt the collaboration would have been that good (as several riders in the breakaway claimed).Well, he could have been firmly in the lead if it wasn't for that mechanical.
He's been the best first year espoir all year. Last year, he was "best of the rest" behind Evenepoel. He's doing great and is ambitious. Let the kid be (rightfully) disappointed in the fact that a mechanical cost him the lead, and let's not start expecting this "political correct" BS from a 19 year old. I'm sure he was happy for Mauri, but disappointed because it could have been him instead.3 from the same team?

Apart from that, that's not the attitude of a team player, even more if you are the leader.
However, I prefer to think, it's just an excerpt from the interview
Clément Champoussin is the finest challenger in the most top-10 without a win competition.
I know he made a tweet about Pidcock's crash that will not have been received well by everyone. That he has a name that would have you believe he is Danish.What do we know about this 20 year old American in second place? Matteo Jorgenson? Other than that he is obviously the next Lance Armstrong?

I remember the pic of that disc break incident, that was some rotten.org level gore.Think he, like others in the Top 10 or thereabouts, definitely profits from the weak edition and all those crashes and inconsistent performances. That being said, he definitely isn't there by luck. Good talent, who had quite a good season only interrupted by that disc brake accident, so one couldn't be quite sure how he would fare here. First season in Europe as well. Maybe his development will be more long term, a thing us riders often struggle with.
This stage was tailor made for Evans really. Just one long effort without any technical oder tactical finesse. Would be more surprising if he can do the same over the next days. But this race is utterly unpredictable, so who knows.
