That's actually a really good interview, if you go past the headline. Bjerg actually says that it might just be him being a sore loser, and later again says he hates to lose!
I'll agree with his "I'm a bad loser" comment.
Dansker er bitter: - Måske er jeg bare en dårlig taber
Mikkel Bjerg er irriteret over situationen, hvor Visma | Lease a Bike og Alpecin - PremierTech satte sig frem, da Tadej Pogacar havde en punktering.sport.tv2.dk
It's all so damn silly. I still blame Armstrong for the whole "waiting" nonsense.
strongest and tactically advantaged. Having a teammate in MvPs group as a tailgunner can't be dismissed. Wout started missing pulls at 40 km. He was the fastest in the last 400m.
Everyone would be surprised if you didn't. It's that kind of challenge.
Ok this is like a first. An UAE rider complains that they are disadvantaged. I don't doubt his feelings though. I guess he means it is because the cameras are on Pogi all the time, that UAE can't do a "Plugge" or get a car pull for an extended period of time. Like how in Mailand San Remo Visma was taxiing Wout and friends with 70km/h back to the peloton. You could see that in short cut during the transmission.
Ok, that really makes no sense because UAE had pushed the pace forcing a split before Pogačar had that mechanical so it was kind of their own fault that Pogačar couldn‘t be in the cars. Does he expect that a group of 50 gets to draft the UAE car just so Pogačar can get back to the group these guys lost contact with? That‘s not how it works at all and Bjerg should know that.
I mean, lets just shut the entrance to and exit of Aremberg, when the riders go through, and release a ravenous pack of wolves, and see who is actually the strongest.
Of course, being a Wout fan, it's easy for me to say, but I believe this is the most popular win I have ever watched. Even some of the detractors here, were glad he won. What a beautiful video!
