[Alexandre B.]

What did Belgian GC riders eat today?

 

[Faserr]

Remco already in anger mode.

 

[Netserk]

fun seems to be over

 

[Rou]

Apparently I missed Remco's antics. Will need to look for replays..

 

[KZD]

Hattrick for Milan.

Blikra second again.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Milan wins

 

[Netserk]

13 seconds in a headwind

 

[RedheadDane]

When the head-rocking starts, you know he's going fast.

I'm sure the guy that got 5th looked fastest and would've won if better positioned.

So Vansevenant must be very fast I think he's the only one who moves his head more than Milan.

blikra was very telling from above

It only applies to Milan.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Tour of Taihu Lake and Hainan sprint fields increase in prestige for every good WT result Malucelli gets. The lesson here is to sign Alexander Salby on the cheap.

The time to get time back, the time to be assertive was on mountain climbs where riders are more isolated by ability, on flat road in final day getting all aggravated acting like something significant was going to happen was silly.
Remco's outbursts are days late. After this he should definitely race Giro and Vuelta because if his feelings are this hurt at a race like UAE the TDF will make him lose his mind.
The final GC for this race turned out great, Del Toro, Tiberi and Plapp all raced excellent. Very good competition for top 10. Lots of excellent racing.

Every time Milan wins a sprint with a 2,000 watt effort I always wonder what his margin of victory would be if he learned to be efficient.

 

[Oldman]

Is that Remco? What has he done to a)get so pissy b)presume he has the credibility to ask the pack to do anything? Needs to chill out and counsel with Roglic.

How do you gauge efficiency though? This might be Milan's optimal position to generate power. Make him more aero and he could lose 200 watts in peak power.

Yes, but have you considered my knee jerk reactions prefer to think the trainers at an 8 figure budget team are too stupid to consider that?
