I guess we shouldn't be surprised that Wellens didn't win after he was dropped 300 times by a "washed" Pogi the other day.

Guy is a stallion.. He worked all 4 hours, well deserved victory!!Kwiat really impressive. Not just giving the victory, but holding everyone off. Surely one of the strongest today. Could’ve been a good duel with McNulty.

This is a nightmare!
They won?
Ineos had 4. They didn't need them anyway!Because it could have been Ineos who suffered the mechanical. Both teams needed a second rider to join the front to cover all eventualities. [[deleted content]]
Having 2 riders in the front group would not cover all eventualities if both of them puncture. Then you would need 3 riders.Because it could have been Ineos who suffered the mechanical. Both teams needed a second rider to join the front to cover all eventualities. [[deleted content]]

But that doesn't cover all eventualities if all 3 of them puncture. [[response to deleted content removed]]
Special K is exactly as you described.. He is always well prepared and is super intelligent on the bike.. Strange final 20 kilometers for sure!! My personal opinion is that the broken collar bone will be temporary setback for Bernal..4-6 weeks up and training.. It does happen just wish it didn't happen to him..It was the first time I watched the Clásica Jaén, and I'm pleasantly surprised. It really looks like the Spanish answer to the Strade Bianche, with a combination of climbing and unpaved roads. I hope this will be a WT race in the future.
Kwiatkowski was world champion eleven years ago, and he's still going strong, while most of his rivals of back then are retired or washed up. Not many riders perform on such a constant level for over a decade.
EDIT: I just heard about Bernal and that's a pity. McNulty's flat tire was also unlucky.
