Are you saying he is a good husband? Fair dosMarriage and Browning look like they're in sync
Didn't he crash?Van Baarle laying the foundations of another season of thievery.
They drop 41m in the last 7.5km?Just rewatched the final kilometres.
A final 5 kilometres with that much downhill shouldn’t be allowed in a WT race, that could have gone even worse than it already did.
Despite the win, not impressed by Welsford. Launches from the front well inside the final 200 metres and even if he hadn’t sat up a bit early it would have been closer than it should have been.
Conversely that was a strong debut by Brennan, zero help from his teammates in the finale but kept position throughout and his kick wasn’t half bad either. As I said pre-race, he has a good chance of being the race’s youngest ever stage winner.
He did, hence laying the literal foundations.Didn't he crash?
I don't think he did it on purpose.He did, hence laying the literal foundations.
Yeah he admitted as much in the in the interview. He's still young and learning. Will be interested in his program for the rest of the year.Just rewatched the final kilometres.

This is bloody awful, feel so bad for him after already a completely lost season to start your new year like this. He's Outkeldermanning Kelderman.Broken collarbone for Van Baarle...
Welsford launched from 250m (really long sprint for the first race of the season) and was the only one in the wind over the whole sprint.Rewatched the final kilometers. Welsford mostly won thanks to his team which did an amazing leadout, and he was the 2nd fastest of the pack. Brennan was amazing, if he would've been in a better position, he was 3 wheels behind Welsford, he could've won. He was clearly the fastest one of those participating in the actual sprint.
Nor do I, but at some point being unlucky becomes a pattern.I don't think he did it on purpose.

Just imagine a slightly angry shrug.So... who's volunteering for that interpretive dance?

Just imagine a slightly angry slug and then base your performance on that.
Well, I have watched the last part...I was mostly asking the people who have been able to watch it...
What's the chance the 'new crash analysing committee' put reasons down as unacceptable couse design, rider error I guess will prevail.What an utterly stupid final.
What a great idea to send a fresh and nervous pelton, on the first race day, downhill for the last 5km.
And because it's a flat stage we know it will be whole peloton
And let's make sure it's not just downhill, but a narrow and twisty, with bollards, jagged metal barriers and parked cars for riders to crash into.
Ridiculous that they just cancel hard mountain stages with downhill because of a bit of rain and cold, but when something is actually just stupidly dangerous, and in a small winter trainning race asweel, nobody bat an eyelid
