Unlike Remco, we know from some of his breakaway performances that carapax has the acting skills necessary to pull it off

Ah, okay, I just remembered how he was the youngest rider to podium a WT race in Down Under but that was of course more than a month and nine days ago.

Maybe Andrew Fenn. A few wins at the very start of his career, then not much after.
It was almost absurd how much better he was than everyone on the descent as he was opening up gaps even while looking back and trying to wait for his teammates
Just watched . Holy moly. Brennan looked like Mvdp in Amstel 2019.
Del Grosso is going to be replaying that last 6km over and over in his mind tonight.

If he hadn't been impeded by motos in one of the bends and bothered to sit a little more aero on the flat, he might have won.

Van der Poel.
Incredible win for Brennan, its seems Visma hit the jackpot once again. Good to see Del Grosso showing himself on the road too.

I think he's going to feel in his body tonight too. Looked like he might have cramped up or simply went into Millennium Falcon stall mode.

Brennan gets out of the saddle with about 700 metres to go and stays there except for 2 seconds with around 200 metres to go. That's a long uphill sprint.

By that standard Nikias Arndt has never sprinted in his life.

I think the motos made it up to him with some decent pulls for the next few straightaways

Fenn's career was one of the most inexplicable ever. He won his first two one-day races after turning pro. Then he never won a race again.
The motos impeded him, but then helped him because he was in their slipstream. Del Grosso always sits slightly upright, always seems like he could go a bit faster if he really wanted to. That's just his style.
I've also read commentary from people saying he shouldn't have looked back so much. You know who looked back even more? That's right, Matty Brennan, the guy who won.

People who watch CX races knows he’s a special rider, really technically gifted. And he’s young so a bit reckless, doesn’t think and knows his skills. He was going up some steep parts in CX as a junior where not even pro riders could do it.
In the rain and descending you won’t see many faster than him.
He was just below the top non mvdp crossers last season and got better toward the end. His is a very, very good technician as you note.

Since he won the Giro, this man has spent more time battling injuries, fitness issues and illnesses than Kelderman and Bettiol combined. You have to feel bad for him at this point.
He looked pretty damn good in 2023 until he crashed out in the Giro. Been struggling ever since with different things, as you say.
