No, Remco for long range attacks and van Aert more for the sprint if it comes to that. Considering there are only 90 riders, other nations must be really careful Remco doesn't slip away.
He was arrogant towards other riders and should more on himself since he has winning $*** these last 3 years.If you're just here to insult, maybe you shouldn't post here and go back to the MVP section.
That's very harsh on WVA. My take on him - particularly in relation to MVDP - is that without Wout the cycling world would be a lot less entertaining. He has animated lots of races and he is really the rider that has helped to define Van der Poel. I am pretty sure that without Wout almost no one would have considered Van der Poel's cyclocross and some other one day wins as noteworthy. It is surely one of the most fruitful competitive standoffs since Boonen and Cancellara.
Best question is how some Tour favorites are only 11 stages in and have crashed so often. Roglic may have crashing being something that has to factor in.. Wout in double digit percentage for falling off his bike.. Wout obviously has power and speed he is there in multiple sprint stages, gotta ask would Van Aert be more of a factor if he didn't fall off his bike all the time..
Demarre apparently did not know that Wout was coming up on the rails, so it wasn't on purpose, but he needs to hold his line.
This year he's certainly crashed a few times, but in the years before? Can't remember too many instances tbh.
I think his lack of train is a factor here, so he has to sometimes pick a lane that he knows has a high risk, but he doesn't have enough guys to move him to a better position without eating wind.
