Or just nod for yes and noIf Sam could begin his post-race interview with "Well, yes . . . " he would sound just like Sean Kelly.![]()
So is Bennet just going to win every sprint stage?
Its not called Le Championnat des Irlandais for nothingSo is Bennet just going to win every sprint stage?
What do you think of Pedersen? I am beginning to rate him quite highly. Today, he might have been able to challenge Bennett if Démare hadn't shut the door on him.Looking at that sprint again, there was actually a very impressive display of sustained power from Demare. I’ve no idea what he thought he was doing putting his face in the wind that far out on an uphill finish, but he opened up his sprint long, long before Ackermann opened up his, kept sprinting while Ackermann sprinted and then kept going after the German ran out of gas and died. Really bad sprinting in terms of positioning and timing, but he must have been holding serious watts for a very long time.
Ackermann by contrast was not impressive in any way. I believe in the guy, he will show that he’s a top sprinter again, but that really wasn’t great. In UAE he looked like he was getting his timing wrong, today he just didn’t look good enough. It may partly be that he’s just less competitive against a Bennett or Demare on an uphill finish than he is in a true flat sprint.
I‘m very impressed with him as a sprinter. With the current crop of freak all rounders (MVDP, WVA, Pidcock..,) it’s easy to overlook just how unusually versatile Pedersen is. He’s a top classics specialist, has ITT wins as a pro and having decided to take up sprinting he’s almost immediately able to compete with top professional sprinters.What do you think of Pedersen? I am beginning to rate him quite highly. Today, he might have been able to challenge Bennett if Démare hadn't shut the door on him.
They should ask me! They could label me as "can point out Nice on a map".
I could point out my understanding that it's pronounced differently to "nice guys finish last", although in this case with Richie I suppose it is one and the same.They should ask me! They could label me as "can point out Nice on a map".
