Did not see this best of the rest result coming. Chapeau!

He attacked and nobody followed. Once again getting the most out of the disrespect of his peers.

Really glad to see today. But we should have expected a good ride. History is littered with riders who rode a strong Vuelta then went on to a great result in the worlds. The timing is often optimal to take advantage of the form boost. But I guess BoC had to be strong to get a gap on riders like Remco and MVdP. By the time they realized what was unfolding it was too late!

if they didn't care about a silver medal it's not his fault

New Wout Van Aert

Not true, he has good tactics, and gets the most out of his physical abilities

Hard to name a rider who has maximized results based on his abilities as much as him (maybe Gilbert? @Red Rick lol). Now has 4th in the Tour, 4th in the Giro, 2nd at Vuelta and 2nd at WCC to his palmares. Pretty insane resume for what I would consider a 2nd tier rider.
