I wonder if van Aert being in the middle of the pack could be part of the plan of JV for if something happens to one of the GC guys.
Kristoff has been unlucky with punctures and crashes in Roubaix many times.Kristoff puncture on cobbles. Has this ever happened before?
Well it's not the best. But if it's only one day, then it won't be that badUgh breathing all the dust.
Isnt that terribly unhealthy?
Is it? Surely its worse toward the middle and back of the group.I always think the same. And I guess the answer is yes. But then again, same for everyone.
Ummm, nopeHe might not be fully recovered from the big efforts in the Giro.
Tbf I think it's fair to keep likes of Kuss and Kruijswijk back with him. They're not that much help anyway for a stage like this but if they can help a bit, might as well leave them there. Laporte and Benoot (and Van Hooydonck but hes been off the back already) need to be around Vingegaard and Roglic thenWhy are Jumbo having someone with Van Aert and the rest of their team in the middle of nowhere? If he's done after the crash, he is done. You don't need to babysit a donkey if he is of no use anymore, send your guys up to Roglic and Vingegaard and stop "honouring the yellow jersey" or whatever that is.
Probably not worse than being behind the cars (in the long run), but possibly more uncomfortableUgh breathing all the dust.

The riders say you can get stomach problems in wet weather because of the dirt. So I guess it could be similar under today's conditions.Well it's not the best. But if it's only one day, then it won't be that bad
Ok, yeah, sure. But only a few will stay at the front all the time.Is it? Surely its worse toward the middle and back of the group.
