I'd rather cooperate and finish second as opposed to looking at my breakaway companion and finishing 55th.The break makes it 100% if they both take commited turns in the last kilometer. But it was very predictable that they would start looking at each other, these are cyclists we are taking about.
Good leadout by gaviria. Its always annoying when Pederson wins
Maybe the break got caught too soon..........What exactly was lacking today?![]()
Another one with stage wins in the 3 big tours?
Ridiculous road furniture in the final 20km. That traffic sign left unprotected (which led to the Thomas incident) was crazy. If it had been raining, it would have been total carnage.
Not only unmarked but unmarshalled. Weak effort from the organizers. Can't find one guy with a flag ?Ridiculous road furniture in the final 20km. That traffic sign left unprotected (which led to the Thomas incident) was crazy. If it had been raining, it would have been total carnage.
I think she watched cycling since Jacques Anquetil rode his bike...Have you ever watched cycling? Or just read the rulebook?
Yep. Dunno if it's a record for getting the tripple in the shortest time, after first GT stage win.
He's very vanilla, just quite bland and he looks ugly in the bike. He always robs more interesting riders of victories and in the last 2 years he only won in boring ways (worlds and gent wevelgem were good) . And yeah I also don't like these hard men sprinters who can climb, it's annoying to me watching stages where trek or someone similar is drilling the pace so you know the electric sprinters won't get back and the break won't make it. Just makes races a slow wind to an inevitable finish. I don't have any animosity to him as a person but as a rider he is like unseasoned overcooked riceWhy? I am not super fond of that category of riders (hardmen-sprinters who can climb well), but among them I like Pedersen best. I like his dry humour, and he's actually a smart rider.
I think it's very likely but I'm not sure.
Tuned back in with 8k to go and the entire finale from there on out was perfectly fine, wide and untechnical, but with enough curves to prevent things from bunching up completely. You just can't avoid road furniture all day, especially not when almost all of the final 40k is in urban areas, so I don't see what RCS should have done differently aside from protecting that traffic sign.Ridiculous road furniture in the final 20km.
