Kristoff somehow looked to be the only one with enough power and speed to finish it off, Dege seemed hopeless in his wheels.

Van der Poel had his wheel but got boxed in just as Kristoff swerved to the right and then got boxed in again, could never really get his sprint going. Would have loved to see them sprinting head to head. Anyway, great race today.

Next year, they probably prefer to race the race instead of doing what they did today.

Didn't understand why they'd go with this strategy anyways - this is not how they have won all the classics so far. Pre-race, Viviani talked about it was all for him and I was honestly baffled by that. Turns out it indeed was the wrong tactic.tobydawq said:Viviani was really boxed in but I can't help being very gleeful about that.
