Yeah no it's true, just quite tiring seeing the same team win every single race. Luckily they're still on Lampre mode for their classics team (sans Pogacar)
Bahrain was riding for Buitrago who lost 40 seconds yesterday which indicated he was not in top shape. And presto Buitraigo gets dropped again today.
Today the entire Red Bull team except for Fisher-Black from the break collapsed 10 kms before the climb, so that would be a one-man job. I doubt Schachmann can hang on anyway, though
Tbf, they should have had him and Schachmann both pull, not just him. Lipowitz and Schachmann also not just pulling full gas and working with eachother was weird too.
also surprising that Lipowitz and Schachman didn't go to the front in the last few kilometers and instead put themselves in a big hole to try to come back from.
That is every Kelderman sprint ever. Going way too long on a Pieter Weening gear and then getting passed by anywhere between 3 and 7 dudes.
yes Maestro, but what is there to do...the pace was so high riding down.
GC riders can also profit from riding if not everybody is in the group. Admittedly Buitrago isn‘t his prime opponent and the yellow jersey for Schachmann was also gone, but Van Wilder could have contributed a bit morePerhaps he is their GC rider
TBF, that's also how I sprint.
Del Toro could have got a haircut, enjoyed a sandwich, maybe a beer, and dusted all in the bunch sprint. He was in the second selection without more or less effort than the other 12-15 in the group.
Doesn't really matter, he didn't have the sprint for 2nd/3rd and closing the gap on Almeida suits him, too. No reason for him not to go all in given the circumstances.Perhaps he is their GC rider
Great showing yes, but how "gutsy" is it when he's that much stronger than everyone else?
Del Toro has wins in his first two professional seasons, got multiple top 10s already, learning from all around him .Has said that Soler, McNulty, Yates, Almeida, and Pogacar are constantly helping, instilling confidence.
