Yes perfect use of Konrad, who was completely cooked. They played this finish and it's route perfectly. Van Aert clearly didn't know the finsih good enough and got therefore surprised by the tactics.

but, but, Jumbo hires youtube guys

and has ten Hag for advice

If you look at his results in the spring classics in recent years Haller has often be up there with the best in the bunch sprint behind. The guy has a great sprint after a hard race.
Him and Politt are also buddies since the Katusha days.

Sagan looked alright vere. On the penultimate time op Waseberg, he was far behind (probably because of the crash), yet somehow he managed to get back to the peloton. He didn't do the sprint, though, for some reason.

How is a race with no live images and that start list a UCI pro race. Horrible spot on the calendar obviously, but still. I haven't even seen a picture of the finish 15 minutes after De Lie won. There's Kermesses with better coverage.

Goddamn i just saw that now. Wth is that. So it's basically a kermesse but also a pro race. Ok. Probably the only De LIe win this year that I actually think is worth absolutely nothing. He could've won this as a junior.
Worth quite some well needed UCI points though.

Same as Jakobsen basically.

So, last week we had the Tour du Limousin - Nouvelle Aquitaine. This week - starting tomorrow - we'll have the Tour Poitou - Charentes en Nouvelle Aquitaine.
The Nouvelle Aquitaine region does not want to have their own bike race, but they'll happily share hosting rigths with neighbouring regions.
