it was 84 HooleBaroncini's pace was impressive. His intelligence less so.
QS α Vinyl BTWDeceuninckare ridiculous.
not harsh, he almost crushed Kristoff into the barriers and completely messed up his sprintMeeus has been relegated by the looks of things, seems a bit harsh.
He was following Jakobsen's line. Also Kristoff made contact with the phone of a supporter which was far over the barriers which contributed to him almost losing his balance.not harsh, he almost crushed Kristoff into the barriers and completely messed up his sprint
nope, Meus changed his line and interferred Kristoff's sprint, look at the sprint again and you will seeHe was following Jakobsen's line. Also Kristoff made contact with the phone of a supporter which was far over the barriers which contributed to him almost losing his balance.
Meeus was apologizing to Kristoff shortly after the finish, so it seems even he himself thought it was a bit on the edge.Meeus has been relegated by the looks of things, seems a bit harsh.
According to Kristoff Meeus said he 'had to go there', that doesn't sound like an apology to me.Meeus was apologizing to Kristoff shortly after the finish, so it seems even he himself thought it was a bit on the edge.
Meeus changed his line because Jakobsen did so too. That doesn't make it a perfectly clean sprint but like I said, I don't think he went too far there. I've rewatched the sprint twice so there's no need for the condescension.nope, Meus changed his line and interferred Kristoff's sprint, look at the sprint again and you will see
I'd be very interested to hear how his teammates feel about those pulls. This one basically nuked the competition but he almost nuked his team doing it.Remco pulls are so hard it tires every one out, because the guys on his wheel are barely holding on. Theres no advantage being on his wheel. You have to pull just as hard just to be able to stay on his wheel. Some power the guy has, and his low position on the bike just leaves the rider behind exposed.
Jakobsen thanked him specifically for his "perfect leadout work" considering he is there for GC.I'd be very interested to hear how his teammates feel about those pulls. This one basically nuked the competition but he almost nuked his team doing it.![]()
All good points. However, if Remco wins the next thing you will hear is that he only wins minor stage races and we don't know how he will do in a GT. I find these sort of comments helpful for insomnia.Küng has absolutely no chance with Foia and Malhao finishes. It’s not even a given that he will beat Remco in the tt. Pidcock hasnt really shown anything in stage racing (at pro level) yet. McNulty seems to be in stellar shape but is very inconsistent climbing wise.
I’m not particularly fond of Remco, but you have to be quite biased to not acknowledge that he is a big, big favourite for this race.
Yeah he's always complimentary. I was thinking more of Lampaert.Jakobsen thanked him specifically for his "perfect leadout work" considering he is there for GC.
Quite impressed by the work of Lührs today.
He was good in Murcia as well.
This pull by Evenepoel was perfect. He killed of Jakobsens biggest competitor with his pull.
Quickstep might just make this a 5/5 over the next few days.
