I don't think it's so much about the result for him. After missing Strade and Tirreno (+training, I guess?), he needs some hard racing to get in shape for the classics

Sure, but could've waited 20km maybe. On the other hand, its cobbles, probably better to be upfront then in the peloton if you really don't want to take risks, and it's not like you don't have a chance going early in these kind of races.
 
I doubt that this break will come back - Jayco who probably have the worst cobbles squad have no idea about tactics - When you are this bad it is non-negotiable that you get in the break - Anyway, I'm interested in how Morgado performs.
 
If Wellens is tired on Saturday resulting in him not being able to do his crucial job for Pog, UAE should look at themselves. Why is he riding Denain tomorrow too with MSR 2 days later? Are they so obsesses with their UCI points?
Because Wellens is a good rider that should have some opporuntities of his own as well?

These are the type of races he can achieve results in and score points in. Also be a guide to riders like Morgado and so on in these races. He is probably a better helper being able to have races where he has freedom as well. Just like any person you need challenges and opportunities to perform your duties. Also those you dont find as fun, but you do them anyway because it is expected of you.

If he doesnt have his best day on Saturday? So be it. Anything could be a factor. Cant control or plan for everything. Maybe someone else on the team has an opportunity to step up and show themselves, if thats the case.

Just my two cents.
 
I will never understand cyclist. There is literally not a single rider in that favorite group that shouldn't be riding and they are still not working together

Also always the same riders btw. Like Van Gestel, he does it in every race when he's in the attack.
 
Baroncini is never making this solo ofcourse. Doubt anyone has chance to make it to the front group, but you're definitely not gonna do this solo. Would be better to drop back and just work with 8 (if they would work ofcourse).

Bruuh I can't with some of these teams. Cofidis with 2 hasn't hit the front in like 5kms. Molano also just sitting back, even tho he's equally as fast as De Lie.
They could actually still catch them if they just go full all 8.
