So weird to see tired riders from a break attacking each other on the Poggio. I did not watch the race at the time, sad now that Iglinskiy didn't get it.View: https://youtu.be/zoIDcR0UiN8?t=8376
Rewatching it, man that was bad racing by Sagan. No attack on Poggio, just following others. Closing all moves, launching the sprint 15''(!) from the line. To think that he nearly won ...
Exactly. That article makes no sense. Even Sam Bennett thinks so:I thought the general theory on wind was tailwind is good for lone attackers and small groups as it costs less energy than riding into a headwind.
I don’t see how a fast race favours the sprinters at all.
Where does Phil Gilbert attack to give himself any chance whatsoever of a historic win? Could he go on Cipressa and hold them off?
Sunny, 5-6 degrees, no wind.What's the weather like at the start?
I hadn't noticed Andrii Ponomar in the startlist. Only 18 of age, makes his debut among the pros with a 300 km Monument!
Welcome to the WT.
Wonder how van der Hoorn got his name...
His father wanted him to be named Tadej, but his mother prefered Wilco, so they decided to make a compromise.
Wilej?!His father wanted him to be named Tadej, but his mother prefered Wilco, so they decided to make a compromise.
The alternative was 'Widej'.
Wilej?!
Wildy!It was a classic Wildej/won't they.
The story behind this is a little complicated but recently a friend of mine got himself the nickname Taco and we were starting to discuss whether you could actually use that as a real name.Wonder how van der Hoorn got his name...
It's Tonelli, and yes, he is surrounded by giantsIs that Bardiani guy (Visconti?) tiny, or surrounded by giants?
