Re:
Northern classics riders and sprinters shouldn’t be able to do this. And then there’s Sagan...
The other problem is just how versatile riders like GvA and Matthews are. GvA was 30th(!) at the Tour this year, while Matthews has come top 10 at Liege as well as one of the most stacked l’Avenir fields we’ve seen at 19.Dekker_Tifosi said:It's not a sprint classic. Neither is Montreal (first edition was won by an 8km Gesink solo)
It's what you say, the racing has become ****. If they attack more on the final climbs from 2 laps from the end the race is very selective. But if you see the startfield lining up with Gva, Matthews and co as main guns you know they will all try to control it and go for the sprint instead
