Albanese bows out in style, with a great late solo effort at Limousin. His first victory as a Pro. Ridiculously long wait after winning the Trofeo Matteotti in 2016, riding for Italy.
I doubt Van Poppel would have anything against being in a two-up sprint with Skjelmose.Van Poppel realising he needs to up his game if he wants to compete with Skjelmose.
(Of course, neither of them probably want to compete with the other.)
And if it's a sprint for the win, he'd be out of this competition.I doubt Van Poppel would have anything against being in a two-up sprint with Skjelmose.
So now you're even spoiling fictional races?And if it's a sprint for the win, he'd be out of this competition.
Yes! I am spoiling the race by revealing that if a rider wins, he'll no longer have no wins.So now you're even spoiling fictional races?
And that would very likely have been 27 - possibly even 28 - if he hadn't crashed...26 - M. Skjelmose
Good point about his non-winning versatility. Perhaps we need to add jersey categories to this competition: polka dot, green jersey, white jerseyVan Poppel benefitting from Sam Bennett's withdrawal from the Vuelta. Up to 23 now, so could be level with Skjelmose by next weekend.
Fred Wright's on a really impressive run. 7 top tens in just under a month, including two hilly stages, a flat sprint, uphill sprint, and two ITTs.
He won't win it overall but is in with a shout of Most Combative Rider in this competition.Fred Wright's on a really impressive run. 7 top tens in just under a month, including two hilly stages, a flat sprint, uphill sprint, and two ITTs.
No, actually it was Danny.Boy did Van Poppel make his move, but he's still trailing by one non-win.
Perhaps comedy isn't really your thing.No, actually it was Danny.![]()
As you can see, it's clearly my thing.Perhaps comedy isn't really your thing.
Yes! Apologies to the Danes, but you can't win everything this year. No races on Van Poppel's schedule atm. Has he sat up too early?Skjelmose out, Van Poppel takes the lead.
That's what Matthews did last year.Yes! Apologies to the Danes, but you can't win everything this year. No races on Van Poppel's schedule atm. Has he sat up too early?
