Im going to predict an Ackermann win (hoping I get eleventh time lucky with this particular prediction this season)
Nope! You'll get it right, eventually.
Maybe...
With this sort of riding, Ackermann won't even claim the most top 10s without a win trophy.
That was actually Schwarzmann.What is happening with Ackermann this year, he was up there in the final today near Bennett's wheel and then just disappeared.

You're right, i just noticed. Still, what is happening with Ackermann?That was actually Schwarzmann.
Six out of nine or ten, depending on whether you count the uphill sprint in Paris-Nice where he bonked badly in the final kilometer. Meanwhile Ackermann has also contested nine or ten (not sure if today counts as contesting). Bora's decision to let Bennett go because they had Sagan and Ackermann was stupid at the time, and looks worse than ever now...Am I right that Bennett now has six wins from nine total bunch sprint participations this season?
Also who is Iuri Leitao?
Bora-Hansgrohe:
"Of course I am disappointed. We invested a lot to control the race and I had good legs today. Also the uphill stretch to the line would have favored my abilities, but there was no chance to avoid the crash. I had to ride full gas for 2 kilometers to get back and then the sprint started already before the last corner. There was nothing I could have done differently. It’s a pity, we just had bad luck." – Pascal Ackermann
"Well, today we had really bad luck. We worked a lot, and the guys did a good job until the last 3 kilometers. Also there they have been positioned well, but the crash happened in the first positions of the bunch. Rudi went down, but he is ok, Pascal was on his wheel and had to stop. He was able to get back, but we lost all chances there as he had to spend all his energy. We did nothing wrong today, sometimes you just have bad luck." – Jean-Pierre Heynderickx, Sports Director
