Van Baarle is actually not that bad, I think he did a leadout at the top of the penultimate climb and then just let go.Benoot should also be his best mountain dom here, but he could have hoped Valter was slightly better than he seems to be. The same goes for Van Baarle.
It was raining. Vingegaard is solar-powered.Vimgegaard didn't look impressive there. Stage 1 in the Tour will be interesting
Earlier the commentator on the feed I was watching (McCrossan) was reminiscing about the 2018 stage of the Tour de l'Avenir which also finished here, back then Mader won ahead of Sosa, Vingegaard was 111th at 11 mins down. Man has come a long way.Prepare for a Vinge effortless 7 W/kg.
If only you spend decades telling little of interest from the back of motors and yelling ultimo kilometro, then all your dreams will come true.How did Renaat ever land this Sporza commentator job?
Vimgegaard didn't look impressive there
Well to be fair last year he won the Tour with only one real mountain domestique remaining (Kuss) so if one of Kelderman or Kuss (or both) stays fit that would already be quite good.Think Vingegaard could end up even stronger than last year but looking likely that his team won't be, Kuss having ridden the Giro also may not be as strong, will be interesting to see what Wilco has in the locker after his injuries.
