So if he had only started his sprint later, you think he rode the last 3 km the right way to win?Yes. He showed that multiple times that it worked.

Depending on the result, yes. If he rode the perfect sprint and still lost, then you can say he rode the last 3km's wrong and a different tactic should have been used. But if he rode the perfect sprint, and won, it might have been thanks to pulling those last 3km's, keeping the pace high, and not giving the others time to recuperate more.So if he had only started his sprint later, you think he rode the last 3 km the right way to win?
Was that the situation? Same distance to finish? Same distance to peloton?If pulling on the flat with others in his wheel is good for Evenepoel, should he then have continued in the gravel stage last year in the Tour to pull Vingegaard without expecting any pulls from him?
Does pulling on the flat with Pogi and Vingegaard in his wheel cook them or not? If he can cook them like that, why not do it for 80 km?Was that the situation? Same distance to finish? Same distance to peloton?
It needs to be rolling terrain, and the race needs to be long and hard.Does pulling on the flat with Pogi and Vingegaard in his wheel cook them or not? If he can cook them like that, why not do it for 80 km?
You understand, when there are two, only one of them can sit in your wheel, right?Does pulling on the flat with Pogi and Vingegaard in his wheel cook them or not? If he can cook them like that, why not do it for 80 km?
So if he tolerated Vingegaard, he gets to cook Pogi? That sounds like a successful strategy for the overall victory to ride against the biggest favourite like that.You understand, when there are two, only one of them can sit in your wheel, right?
lol, sure. Great strategy in case Visma pays him.So if he tolerated Vingegaard, he gets to cook Pogi? That sounds like a successful strategy for the overall victory to ride against the biggest favourite like that.
If it works, that is.
And that he obviously would've been able to follow Pogacar/Ayuso/Del Toro on Mont KigaliToday we confirmed Remco bike handling/descending should not be much of a worry anymore.
I don't agree. He really was pushing to drop Storer and keep Del Toro behind, sprinting from hairpin to hairpin, while he did not come closer to Pogacar. Imho that is a big part of the reason why Pogacar was able to cruise away from him on the flat, because he went deep on the climb and the descent because he had to drop Seixas, Del Toro and Storer when he still could. It wasn't bad by any means, but Pog did that descent just as quickly much more conservatively.Today we confirmed Remco bike handling/descending should not be much of a worry anymore.
