I suppose you need to be really strong to drop your sprinter off your wheel in the flat finish.. Surely it wasn't intended though (or maybe it was?)It was an accident????
He didn't drop his sprinter, though, a Bora rider got in between him and Groenewegen, through a left hander with 500m to go, and just seemed to sit up. Not sure if the Bora plan was to disrupt Groenewegen, in which case it worked, or to hope Affini would sit up once he was on his own, in which case it didn't work, or to use Affini as a stepping stone draft to get to the finish, in which case is did work, but just for Nizzolo, not Bora.I suppose you need to be really strong to drop your sprinter off your wheel in the flat finish..

Gaviria sprinted without a saddle.

Things not quite working out for him lately.
Too much info.............Clever strategy. A pipe up the poophole should really enrage a vigorous sprint.
Ever had your fingers slip through the toilet paper?
