Vollering wanted it too much, and it showed, and Kopecky used that to her advantage. She should have let Longho Borghini go and win it for Italy.

Btw was that the best showing of Zygerts carreer? Being in a semi relevant group ~100km from the finish? Im impressed

There was also that time she came close to winning a stage in TdS.

(And then some dumbass paper referred to her as "Pogacar's girlfriend")

But that's the problem, a team goal just to win creates this situation where riders on the same team compete with each other, and consequently wreck each other's chances of attaining that goal.

It's a horrible management speak quote, but it's true, you have to fly in formation to be an effective team. As soon as people take it upon themselves to do things slightly out of formation even if they believe the goal theyre aiming at is the same, team cohesion breaks down and it becomes alot harder to do things.

Thing is, when you know Vollering can only realistically win solo or perhaps from a break of two you have to have a Plan B. Vos was the obvious Plan B but Vollering’s pressing kept dropping her.
