It's not about boring or not. Or defensieve vs risk taking.
It's about stupid and useless. Back in september Van Aert couldn't criticise Evenepoel enough for attacking so early. Everybody thought it was great to see and very entertaining, but also knew it was way too early. It was exciting, risky and stupid.
Fast forward 6 months. Evenepoel attacks on la Redoute. Exciting, risky and smart.
