three of the last four winners of Strade have gone and won Sanremo two weeks later. Let's see if the pattern holds...
Too much of a clown.I am not French, but why won't you love him? If you like cycling then a rider like Julian is what you want to see imo.
It was quite clear that he was done 10km from the finish. I think fresh Ala is still the best at short climbs.Will this be the year that Alaphilippe won't be the quickest on the Poggio?
That's basically just the difference between being relatively fresh and being stone dead.VDP is unbelievable. He drops Alaphil like a *** stone and outpunches what is supposed to be the best puncher in the world. Whilst also dropping the Tour winner of 2019 with 20 seconds in 300 meters.
This man can win FW, LBL as well. Maybe not Lombardia but *** you are not going to convince me this guy can't win LBL. Holy jesus wtf have i just seen
Apples and testiclesWill this be the year that Alaphilippe won't be the quickest on the Poggio?
in this field, this demonstration. I think everyone knows now 2020 MVdp was not top Mvdp.Welp, that was impressive. Must be said, Alaphilippe didn't look like he was quite at his best, but van der Poel with a fearsome attack.
It wasn't the strongest field though. Couple of riders not riding it because of the Tour, possibly the best man in the race crashing out and he still finished on 6+ mins. I won't bet my life against anything van der Poel tries, but I do think it'll be hard.I do think VDP could win a Lombardia. He nearly clung on on last year and he looks stronger this year. A Bergamo finish might suit him.
It's still early season for Pogi. Winning the UAE is already a great start. Agreed also it's good to see Bernal riding well again after a difficult 2020.Wow, what a race. Incredible power by VDP: he was riding uphill like a motorbike, what was his peak wattage? Congrats, he's the favourite for early classics for sure. Good race by Alaphilippe but it wasn't enough today. Incredible effort by Bernal - a featherweight climber competing in Strade against a beast like VdP? He's already a big early favourite for the Giro. I expected more from VVA today but it was his first race. My fave Poga was 7th - a decent place but I hoped he would be in Bernal's position today. Noteworthy performance by Simmons - the 19 yo was very strong today but unlucky as well (puncture and fall).

And i hope you know this wasn't top Alaphilippe and top WVA. I wonder how he'll fare at FW though. Never thought he'd have a chance there, but now i'm curious.in this field, this demonstration. I think everyone knows now 2020 MVdp was not top Mvdp.
I just betted some money on it and MVDP had 7.5 multiplier for it.three of the last four winners of Strade have gone and won Sanremo two weeks later. Let's see if the pattern holds...
