Philipsen is getting outsprinted by Groenewegen in a tough race now?

He was on the front too early and decided to go otherwise they would all overrule him if the pace dropped a bit. He basically did a leadout for the others and just came short.

And Groenewegen is still fast.

Sorry, this doesn't fit my Philipsen is now slow and the new Mads Pedersen agenda. I shall choose to ignore it

Groenewegen was in group 4 at one point. More than a minute behind. Good that the whole peloton waited for him.

what. Groenewegen was in every major split and rode a superb race.

Just how many fractured collarbones is Capiot going to run into?

Alpecin did very little at all right in the final 10k and it cost them in the end.

It's very disappointing for Jayco who have a non WT level squad for cobbled races. They miss out on a rider who is WT standard at this level and they miss out on UCI points.

When the first split happened. Before race coverage. After that he was strong and attentive indeed.

Think the key to Groenewegens improved form is race selection. Like many sprinters he wanted to ride stage races because the mentality is you have 2 or 3 chances to win as opposed to a one day ra e.

Jesus, Groenewegen is in incredible form right now.

Making ASO look like the arrogant fools they are.
