It says it all really that the race thread has had more posts since they crossed the line than while it was on.

Parcours don’t help but it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy when so many teams come equipped with mass sprint as Plan A,B and C for it to be a very passive and boring race.

"On the way I didn’t feel well and I said that the team could join dangerous breakaways. They kept motivating me to let me sprint. I tried to do that and look at it now. A nice surprise!” Kooij assesses of his triumph. “We turned in a good position for the last two kilometres, that was important. After that I followed the Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe train. Alexander Kristoff then came past with speed and made sure I could find a good wheel. After that it was all about pushing and luckily I was able to hold on until the finish.”
