That was a lot closer than even I thought it would be.
Nothing against Pog but I'm gutted one of the Spanish lads couldn't pull it off.Pog and two dudes I never thought they would be on a monument podium
But to be honest it would not have changed things IMHO.Yeah. dropping Sormano isn't that hot of an idea
Sadly the question of who of Landa and Mas is the worst sprinter remains unanswered.Nothing against Pog but I'm gutted one of the Spanish lads couldn't pull it off.
Well I thought he would win 10 TdF in a row, but then again...Wonder how many of these will Pog win? Surely he gets 5 over his career
Yeah it’s the sprint that’s really going to help him rack these upWell I thought he would win 10 TdF in a row, but then again...
A bit like Mercx, when he wouldn't distance everybody he would beat them anyway at the sprint!
Thanks Ale and Vinnie, you will be sorely missed.

It would have gone unanswered even if Pog wasn't there. Either Mas would have dropped Landa or it would have been like the women's Amstel Gold when Longo Borghini and Niewiadoma, renowned as two of the worst sprinters in the bunch, were both so scared of proving to be worse than the other that they torpedoed their own chances of winning after taking a quick perusal of the course text for Domenico Pozzovivo's "how to finish 7th in a three man sprint" course.Sadly the question of who of Landa and Mas is the worst sprinter remains unanswered.
Where have the Uber Mas haters been the last month? Up until the first real stages of the Vuelta, we had certain posters would pop into every major race thread just to take a crap on him.
It would’ve likely given a better chance to Mas, the best climber today.But to be honest it would not have changed things IMHO.
FTFY, as I think that was the most important part of itAnd then he successfully stayed upright for eight days in a row. No wonder that results in less criticism...
