Alexander Kristoff

Congrats to Kristoff for the stage win and getting a day in yellow.

That was a smart sprint.

The way it was raced suited him too, with a slightly lower speed on the run in. He could get a nice buffer in green tomorrow with the early intermediate sprint then come in with the gruppetto.

Kristoff must be one of the most muscled riders. I had him as one of the favorites for the European title, but after we didn't see him there I didn't have have high expectations for his Tour. It turns out he crashed on his head on Wednesday. As a former winner of two monuments he's certainly a worthy wearer of yellow - although surely it will only be for one day.

If Kristoff is there to sprint for the win then the peloton have raced like *** or he's in the form of his life.

Yesterday or today?

There is zero chance he will be there today.

Or the rainy weather screwed up the favs while he performs very well in these conditions. Viviani was barely able to sprint

According to the Strave files they rode hard on the climbs. On the last 12min climb (cat3) Buchmann did around 355 Watt (6 watt/kg) and Greipel 460 watt. That's not really easy.

Kristoff had to have seen the thread talk of him being on the downward in with the talks of Boonen, Cancellara, and WVA. Looking at having a good year and his best since 2019 based on PCS points. It’s been a good switch for him.

AK, not done yet! Congrats old man!

This old Norse god probably won't win another monument, but in a race like this he's still up for a fight. Well done!
