Volta ao Algarve May 5-9 2021

[sir fly]

I don't think the breakaway will make it.

 

[Danskebjerge]

That was fun to watch, that little DQ move.

 

[Bonimenier]

Morkov is just too good. It's ridiculous.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Great win by Mørkøv!

 

[sir fly]

No contest this time around.
Well done.

 

[RedheadDane]

That was some leadout!

 

[Danskebjerge]

Mørkøv has started to continue his sprint until the very end (almost). Maybe he figured out how to do it without helping the other sprinters.

 

[JosefK]

Shocking finale .

He clearly wants to win the most top 10s without a win trophy!

 

[tobydawq]

He’s going to win. I can feel it in my bones.

You have a poor bone feeling.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Even when it all gets chaotic and it looks like they are out of position, DQS are just great at this. Just compare Morkov’s long move to whatever the hell Bora were at. And once Bennett kicked it was over immediately. He could have stopped for a Dumoulin at the side of the road.

Just you wait till next time. Nobody beats Pascal Ackermann thirteen times in a row!

Most top 10s without a win, but where the guy you rode for just won.

 

[tobydawq]

And as usual we have to hear the same old "I didn't have good legs today, I was really surprised to win" crap. Just stop it, please.

 

[BlueRoads]

I didn't see the race... let's say I'm not surprised... but I really want Intermarché to finally get that win...

 

[Bonimenier]

I do like how Bennett was more interested to see where Morkov was going to end than in his own victory when he was about to cross the line.

lol he’s just back from a month off and is miles away from his next real goal. I’m sure he does have bad legs by his standards! He just has high standards and an incredible lead out.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It might also have something to do with him being out of contract next year and not wanting to be screwed over if Bennett goes to another team and doesn't take him with him, like he experienced with Kristoff in 2017. He shouldn't be in any kind of trouble this time though, but it may be his last (big) contract, so it's understandable if he wants it to be as lucrative as possible.

But he says it so often. At some point he should realise that he actually has won with bad legs before...

 

[RedheadDane]

Kirby (not quoting word-for-word): Deceuninck - Quick Step is a bit far back.
Mørkøv: You were saying?

 

[Danskebjerge]

Mørkøv was third despite looking back over his shoulder with 50 meters to the finish line.

He's generally very honest... If he feels good and loses he admits to it, likewise if he wins while feeling good he admits it too... I'm not saying it's overly interesting, but it's usually honest.

Or it's bragging. "Look at me, I'm so good that even when I feel bad I can squish you with my left leg, you puny other cyclists."

Bennett doesn't seem like the bragging type. Far from it even.

Okay, but who is Iúri Leitão?
