The Jan Christen is the illegitimate child of Mathieu and Wout thread

[ice&fire]

Carapaz must be thinking why wasn't Christen helping Del Toro in Finestre

Surely he needed to rest after bridging to Ciccone and del toro. Immediately attacking set him up for failure.

Perhaps. But if he goes, Ciconne was obligated to give chase. So in a way, Del Toro should have at least been able to stay on Ciconne's wheel. Being as he couldn't/didn't tells me he wasn't strong enough for a win anyway.

Jan Christen has less endurance than I thought. He's exploded in all the important classics, even last year in the U23 category.

Yes this is the real UAE kid with an endurance issue

You know someone's reputation is in the toilet when his habit of sabotaging his own teammates is the closest thing to a redeeming quality he has.

Maxime van gils has suffered a fractured pelvis, Jan Christen needs suspending. It's not even the end of February and this guy is the most hated rider in cycling and his reputation is down the toilet.

Feel sorry for Van Gils. But ofc Christen should not get a suspension. That would be way out of proportion.

Standard racing incident, a bit too aggressive, DQ is fine, suspension would swing too far in the way of policing the outcome.

the child of Mathieu and Wout

can be cut from the title

I'm not sure, he starts his sprint from one side of the road and cuts right across the other side, full well knowing Van Gils was trying to pass.
As someone who races I thought it was out of order, and given its only Feb, this guy had built up a pretty bad reputation.
