Thanks!
He beat Mvdp, Wout (T-A) and Roglic (Flèche Wallonne) this year. Could be worse, but also better I suppose.
No. I made a deal with him: I say nice things about him in the cn forum and he doesn't gain too many points in the cq game where I don't have him.
(I made the same deal with Hodeg but he took it a bit too far in the beginning of the year.)
Wow. Incredible racer. Why do I always underestimate him?
Congratulations, that was epic.
(Also really good from the whole French team again.)
Second WC-title... couldn't have gone to a better rider.

Showing again why he is considered one of the big 5. Fully deserved! The strongest by a mile.

I'm rating this defense higher than the last season's victory.
Less fitting course and a way bigger workload.
Genuine racer.
... as we didn't know already.

Monster ride today. Alaf's biggest win for me. Hail to King Julian 
! What a display!
! What a display!
He made the race, was the best. So, 100% deserved champion.
He attacked on the Beekstraat (cobbles)
The Smeysberg (last hill on the Flandrien circuit)
The Wijnpers
Downhill after the Wijnpers
St-Antonius street
5 times. And the attacks were not like 5 seconds but each of them were 20 seconds-something going full gas. Super impressive. Took the competition by the scruff of the neck and attacked in relentless fashion. If his last attack wouldn't last, he would have attacked once more, I'm sure.

Have never warmed to JA too much, or at all, but gotta give credit where it's due. Excellent ride and very deserved champion. He was just itching to go from what 60-70k to go and capitalised on super legs.
He and Vdp are equal, I'd say. Alaf is more versatile, though.
He's also pretty good at hiding/timing his form. He must have been deliberately undercooked at the ToB, or more likely, treated it as a training race, unlike Wout and Hayter.
Does anyone know what he's going to do next? Why did he say merry christmas to the reporters?
