We'll see in about two weeks time if this was the right decision. In 2022, for example, this win would be his biggest in a whole season...
Like Logic said, maybe he suddenly thinks he's Boonen or something...
He earned Laporte's total devotion from here on. And Jumbo's admiration. And his teammates admiration. Actually, he basically embodied #samenwinnen pretty well today.
It's the Ajax style Dutch total football cycling equivalent Jumbo aims for. It's pretty big IMO to show it off in such an important race but the fact all the rivals for xyz reasons fell apart all on their own today (Jumbo didn't destroy the field, they destroyed themselves), it allowed WvA & Laporte this moment.
