Did he though? I can see being surrounded by cars or moto's in active traffic, but behind something on cobbles? Talk about eating bricks

It's also amusing how many users agree with me. Maybe I have a point.

You have good points, but projecting feelings onto someone else is a totally different thing. I certainly don't see may folks salivating to see MVDP beat Pogacar at either race. I know I feel thankful that they are BOTH there to compete against each other so that these races we love won't be wipe outs. Personally I'll be rooting for Wout to hang on, but when as I expect it's those other two going into the finale against each other I won't know who I'm favoring until the finish. I love that both animate races they way they do, even if it means one-sided results sometimes.

We just need to read their posts since Pogacar did a recon on Arenberg.

Kudos to Pog for standing up for Wout. Sometimes fans forget that these riders are just human beings and sensitive to a lot of the negative attention that social media sometimes (often) generates.

Ha, he actually said social media is the cancer of our times.
I gotta say, I'm not used to him actually having a strong opinion on something. I always feel that pr-wise, he tends to take the easy way, not trying to rub anyone the wrong way (which in itself is completely understandeable, because.. social media)
But he scored some major personality points in my book by saying just that. Chapeau!

Well, the distance between Mons-en-Pevele and Kwaremont is like 70 kilometres so if it takes him 7 hours...maybe he was doing a Froome running through these sectors?

I don't think he went on his bike until Kwaremont. Probably a 212 km recon in France and then a 30/40 km recon inside Flanders.
