He might be riding this like a 3 week stage race, letting the kids waste energy with their weak attacks like he did to Ayuso last year, taking a few days to find his reading glasses and arthritis pills before getting going.
If they just committed to the stage Jorgenson looked excellent but he blew himself up way out from the finish.. He needed the bonus more than Wout needed a 5th place, all that work and Visma gets nothing.. Only person worse is Toro...oh well..
Fair too, chances would've been slim anyway. Just save yourself for an opportunity during stage 5 or 6.
He did look pretty spent and the last 2 or 3 jumps by Pellizzari had some snap..the guy looks great.. Bora better be thinking about going all in for him for next few months. I have not been following Lipowitz's form but Pellizzari is flying..
I go with that, Jorgenson looks decent despite crashing, really rolling smooth up front, Head to head when Wout was trying to stay with MvdP he just fell off his pace..I hope Jorgenson keeps improving.
Easy now, throwing away a Giro win easily trumps anything anyone could ever do for Wout...
ironically the greatest stupidity was letting WvA in the break and get over Finestre unchallenged
If Wout looks around and sees MvdP and Ganna, Christen is the last guy I am prioritizing..
Del Toro talked to him before. Seemed like he had to attack under the 1km banner and Del Toro would do a fake attack and drop the pace (he also block half the group). Could’ve worked if no one reacted immediately.
That kind of stuff might work in a .1 race somwhere....
I think he even surprised himself with that sprint there. Quite impressive.
He's not 20 years old like everyone else around him and he has too much experience to waste energy for nothing.
yep apparently DelToro blew himself up wasting too much energy for that second, hopefully recovers by tomorrow.
I really don't mind this idea, seems stupid in hindsight but they rolled the dice, neither of those two is winning the sprint
