What did you expect, there was no strong leadout possible to string it out when everybody kills their team 2k out.
I didn't expect there to be a grand total of one leadout man left with 600 metres to go. That was an uncharacteristically awful job by most teams, all too scared of going too late so they all went too early.

On the plus side, that did limit the speed going into the final corner...

Reduced peloton after the crash, but after they removed the traffic island, the final corner was completely fine.

Ok, I agree. It made no sense that they rode so fast at a time where you still had 2 kilometers to move up as long as you kept your teammates. On the other hand, if you‘re at the front as a team at 3k to go, there‘s no way that you can decide to go backwards and try again a kilometer later.

Due to various circumstsances such as extremely technical finishes or wet conditions I can't get my head around the sprinters. Would like to see a finish where there is a non-technical last three kilometres

It was not :rolleyes:

How can you even say that and expect to be taken seriously?
I think he might have been referring to the strength he showed, rather than the result. Wout does seem to be coming into his legs right now, which is nice to see.

Nice to see him remembrering he is Wout *** van Aert

There was a crash involving a Polti rider inside 3k to go so I think they just haven't updated it to reflect the cancelling of time gaps yet.
