I did say old teammates, y'know. Until last year.
Matthews and Hirschi are both on Sunweb, by your argument why didn't they work together? Why did WvA attack and leave his "teammate" Dumoulin behind?
I know there's been lots of salty Belgians around but at least they got a medal (2 in fact). Us Aussies got sweet FAand it's all Hirschi's fault.
Did Matthews just spend 3 weeks emptying himself for Hirschi? I don't think so. You don't see how there is any difference?
I think it was the right thing to do considering the situation Roglic was in. He can say he did all he could but if he really emptied himself for WVA he wouldn't have been able to stay with that group until the finish.
Now before someone calls me a "salty Belgian' I will say that JA is a deserved World Champion and he was the strongest. We'll get to see that jersey in many races I'm sure.
