Ugh, worst possible winner. Sweeck clearly better and stronger, but he had to close a 18s gap that Aerts got "for free".
Pidcock still not being able to really show he's going to be a force to be reckoned with in the near future. Also wondering about Arensman. A few years ago you would have thought he was going to be a "decent" crosser. But then he finished 2nd in l'Avenir somewhat out of the blue two years ago. Now i'm wondering if he's riding CX just to keep fit in the winter or not. Not really making strides as a CX rider though he turned 20 recently. Last year on the road wasn't a success either for him (mainly due to injuries). With his build (he's really tall), i also don't know how realistic is will be for him to become a GC rider, if that 's what he's aiming for.
