Oh well for those sad with Carapaz winning, three years from know you can always cheer for Cav

 

[42x16ss]

COME ON WOUT! I've never wanted to see someone get second so much

 

[BigCoward]

Olympic Champ should get 4 years of a special Jersey with the rings in it.

 

[topt]

wau Pog

 

[dampframme]

Yeees Richie

 

[titan31]

Think Pog took that. BBC hyping Yates up

 

[glassmoon]

Pog 2nd, Wout 3rd

 

[Salvarani]

Pog won that sprint?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Pogacar got outsmarted because he didn't have Vingegaard there to tell him Carapaz was bluffing.

 

[RedheadDane]

Nice win. Well deserved.

No clue who was second...

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

I thought it was Wout

 

[topt]

Pog won that sprint?

he did

 

[Pantani_lives]

As expected it was a sprint between the two top favorites. (For silver.)

 

[Scarponi]

Wout was pissed lol get out of my way

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Nice whee ls_cking from Pog

 

[topt]

I thought it was Wout

Pog I think

 

[Volderke]

And this is why nobody wanted to work with Van Aert.

They could sprint for silver. Now they sprinted for bronze.

 

[Poursuivant]

WVA and Pog really deserved a medal.

Congratulations to Carapaz

 

[Breezy1985]

Well I was very wrong to think the TdF was bad preparation.

Love how Carapaz TTed all the way to the line like he couldn't believe it until it was over

 

[Red Rick]

Pogacar > Van Aert > Cavendish sprinting pecking order?

 

[spalco]

Pog 2nd, wout 3rd

What a Podium...

 

[glassmoon]

And this is why nobody wanted to work with Van Aert.

so they would miss the battle for silver? they refused to work when it seemed they would battle for 4th at best

 

[Red Rick]

They could sprint for silver. Now they sprinted for bronze.

If you work with Van Aert, somebody else will not and you will lose that sprint and go home with nothing.

Olympic Champ should get 4 years of a special Jersey with the rings in it.

MCipollini-Giordana made Nicole Cooke a special Olympic jersey in 2010, all white with the Olympic rings above the sponsor logos, and gold piping at the waist and arms. The UCI banned it before she could turn a pedal in anger in it.

You come home with nothing whether you work with him or not. Might as well increase your percentage of something by working with him imo
