Honestly Kreuziger isn't that slow. Ofcourse he won't beat MAtthews, Alla or Valverde, but if you look at liege 2016 he did a very good sprint out of the favorite group.
That was more like an attack in the uphill section before the finish. He was mightily strong that day.skippo12 said:Frankschleck said:SHAD0W93 said:If he does win it'll be well deserved.

Sprinting after a short and easy stage is a lot different than after 250 hard raced kms. Most of the time it is more about who has more energy left than about max speed.
I doubt they'll let him race LBL alone :razz:yaco said:Kreuziger will need to be alone to win - The last week shows its a possibility.

Nibali is also one of the smartest riders in the peleton and in the last few years he has won a few sprints against possibly more explosive riders.
Red Rick said:Honestly think Nibali is just faster than Kreuziger
Dekker_Tifosi said:Typical Kreuziger results. The man doesn't have the punch or sprint to finish it off, and he's not a strong enough time trial / solo rider like Jungels
Had he gone instead of Jungels, Jungels would've brought him back in no time flat if he wanted to, or he would've let him swim at 15s before Alaphilippe finishes everyone off in the last 5km.Blanco said:Dekker_Tifosi said:Typical Kreuziger results.

Had he gone instead of Jungels he would've won, because the chase was so great. But then again maybe Haig would've work then, he didn't rode for Krueziger, maybe he would ride against him

So based on your ridiculous thoughts Haig will be chastised by management at MS - Doubt Haag could have done much more - After all he is a third year pro - The fact is only Oomen and Haig were the only third year pro's at the pointy end of the race - Any criticism of both these riders is an indictment on posters.
