Yes but now they know they have to make the race as hard as possible to drop him. The hills were close after each other here, less rest. Don’t know if Mathieu can do it every lap, but the legs are good.
They already knew that. With Mathieu you never know, he can be absolute crap the week before and then dominate, and today he wasn't crap. He wasn't great either though. He had all the trouble in the world following Hirschi, and Hirschi is no Pogacar.

Great win by Vansevenant. Formolo got a little cocky there...

He finished 11:35 after Vansevenant.
Was hoping for a nice positive surprise today, it's been since basically 13 February 2022 since we had one. Everyday since then disappointment.

I thought maybe he's building the form through deutsch tour, Canada, to this race and the Italian classics. But it's obvious now his level is just awful. Again.

It was nice to see Mauri doing so well though
That's a positive

You've already forgotten about his awesome KOM victory in Dunkerque?
 
Maybe he dug a tunnel under the finish line...
Not sure UCI would accept that as having finished though.
I'm, however, pretty sure the local authorities would get a little annoyed by that. "Dude, what are you doing? Stop digging holes in our roads."

Maybe Formolo should have hid under the finish line, so they couldn't tell him he was disqualified.
