Well he could time it better to fly under the radar till WC
. Now he made himself a target and won't be let go easily. Those 2 wins in a row were great performances, but WC is differente race. Wouldn't automaticly put him on short list of favorites, but rather long list.
Long list sounds OK, I agree...
Completely flying under the radar would indeed have been better... Should be hard to achieve, however, since he needed and needs these fast and hard race/competition kilometers.
What should give the Danes hope is that Valgren is able to show good results also in races >250 kilometers, when he‘s in top shape.
Curious to see what he‘ll achieve in WC. If he shows today‘s form, and if Cort shows the form of the Vuelta, and if Pedersen is WC’s Pedersen, they could be the strongest team behind Belgium and Italy in the finale on Sunday 26/9...
