I mean, i am pretty sure Valverde and Konrad gave their everything on that ramp. But that wasn't enough.Poursuivant said:Smashed them all. Valverde was riding for second halfway up the climb, he wasn’t gonna chase
Orbit501 said:I wonder how well Madouas will go. A good result here would give the team a much needed boost after sad ending to TdF.
Also curious about Evenepoel. Alaphillipe already out and there seems a bit of uncertainty over Mas at the moment. Must have been ill in early stages of TdF?

Curiosity answered I think.
What a win! Glad he managed to drop all his bottles off before attacking :lol:
We could be witnessing a memorable season for the birth of legends here. Three of them!

I'll give you that. Apologies, I'm a little bit fixated on one day races
Dekker_Tifosi said:That made no sense. Dropped, attacked on the flat and then winning with a huge advantage (advantage usually is 20s in San Sebastian even with the best puncheurs getting away)..
His power on the flat parts in between climbs especially is what impressing me. On the climbs itself he's still not there, but who cares if you can destroy a chasing pack that way...
Wvv said:Apparently it wasn't a bad moment that made him drop on that penultimate climb, which of course makes sense if you know what happened later in the race.
Stating that he still isn't there on climbs after this final is quite nonsense of course. He powered up the Murgil in extraordinary fashion.
