Even if he’s in the hilly form of his life, there’s no chance of any group taking him to the finish. They’d have to be lobotomised. The whole last section of the race would be attacks and he has nobody to help chase. Just ask Caleb.DQS is losing the race at the moment, unless Bennett is superconfident in surviving the hills. Great chance for Matthews if he can be in front until the finale.
There are currently around 45-50 riders still in the race...?
It seems that the second group got bigger indeed.Looked like there was a rather large group reasonably close to G3 before they merged with G2
Could be a close call against Van Aert after a tough 200k.Even if he’s in the hilly form of his life, there’s no chance of any group taking him to the finish. They’d have to be lobotomised. The whole last section of the race would be attacks and he has nobody to help chase. Just ask Caleb.
No reason for Van Aert to risk finding out.Could be a close call against Van Aert after a tough 200k.
Can drop them all, but will it be smart?Which riders can even follow van Aert on the Kemmel in that first group?
Probaby a lot less compact that usual because it's so dry.Is it me or have the plugstreets caused more flats than usual?
Since we can't go to Iceland, we make Iceland come to us.I didn't know they have active volcanoes in Belgium.
Probably best to get into a group of 2 or 3 with dudes he can eat alive in a sprint.Can drop them all, but will it be smart?
Long way to the finish, hard weeks of racing in the legs, coming Ronde...
Will still be the same old problem... If he can eat them alive, they won't work with him.Probably best to get into a group of 2 or 3 with dudes he can eat alive in a sprint.
