I love the phrase, wish I knew how to use it...Thomas? To say it with a German phrase: I am standing on the hose.

Pellizzari apparently pretty fast it seems
The guy just is so deep, has power that is just dominating.. If I was a pro and showed up to a cyclocross race and saw him, just get back in the car and go to breakfast.. Why bother guy is going to destroy everyone..Not just a beast, one of the best race readers / tacticians too
Seemed like pretty much everyone shot their shot too early. Most of the fast guys were active since the 1km banner, including Van der Poel. So I don't think Pellizzari will suddenly start winning sprints.I wonder if he is pretty fast, or just had more left and good timing compared to the others. But he's not slow so much is clear.
Yeah it's ridiculous. Visma are still living in 2020. I think everyone could see he wasn't going to win this stage. He could barely follow Jorgenson on the climb.van aert already seemed pressured at the top of the climb yet they take full responsibility to close it down for a sprint when they had the numbers
The only wheel that was important to Del Toro was Pellizzari and he blew it.. Del Toro should have had Christen spend his juice keeping him closer instead of whatever that was ..not to good. Del Toro got smoked by Ben Healy in the spirit.. Shame..Well, Mvdp's just makes other riders look tactically inept:
