It wasn't selective enough. Can't see Ulissi being a threat in 15 minutes climbsWho was climbing good in yesterdays Muscat classic? Seemed Ulissi didn't have a problem staying with the front group.

Depends on how good he is so early in the season, but normally no oneI looked to the route and thought: "who is gonna threat Yates?" Ulissi is a shadow of his old self, maybe Gaudu?
I guess Behrens was the only one who could take the heat of wearing that thing ...new aero helmet for a Visma rider?
He looks like a cyborg, and the helmet certainly adds to that. What a beast.I guess Behrens was the only one who could take the heat of wearing that thing ...
He sprinted past his own leadout, who didn't do anything.Can't tell if the Omani road signs are deceiving me but it appears like Fernando Gaviria launched his sprint there with a mere 400 metres to go
oh nice I forgot he signed there. Visma is doing everything for me to like them year after year, Jorgenson last year, McLay this year, the hope in Vingo to beat PogThat's never new signing Daniel Mclay dropping him off in perfect position*
*On the wheel of Gaviria
It was a very, ehh, chaotic situation. I'm sure he almost took them all by surprise.He sprinted past his own leadout, who didn't do anything.
I think you've turned Plugge into something more than he actually is. He's not that important. Merijn Zeeman was, he will be missed by that team. Take away Plugge and nothing changes.oh nice I forgot he signed there.

then I think about Plugge and I dislike them again haha
Idk, I think the sympathy meter and goodwill factor would skyrocket if Plugge were to step down.I think you've turned Plugge into something more than he actually is. He's not that important. Merijn Zeeman was, he will be missed by that team. Take away Plugge and nothing changes.
Whoever replaces him would get the same treatment. People don't like the dominant team, in any sport. Visma were dominant for one or two seasons, they're not anymore, and you can already see people liking them more. Nothing to do with Plugge. Vaughters isn't exactly the most likeable character either, but nobody cares what he has to say as long as his team doesn't really feature in the grand scheme of things.Idk, I think the sympathy meter and goodwill factor would skyrocket if Plugge were to step down.
Gaviria forever hoping to replicate his Paris-Tours 2016 victory.
