If you think that’s wheelsucking then we have very different interpretations of what a wheelsucker is.
All true!The greatest World Championship I've seen.
The greatest race I've seen this season.
And, for me, the greatest win of Van der Poel's career I've seen.
A day to never forget.
He was wheelsucking in the sense that he didn't show any interest in catching van der Poel, only making single attacks which is not the way to catch another rider.
he looked by far the weakest of the four chase riders when VDP attacked and couldn't even come close to distancing anyone with his moves, he didn't have legs. i don't think anyone really had legs for VDP there.He was wheelsucking in the sense that he didn't show any interest in catching van der Poel, only making single attacks which is not the way to catch another rider.
its a joke. Its actually about 190 timesI actually can't tell if that's a joke or not.
Yes I saw that. It doesn't change what I said. Anyway, we just disagree, no big deal. I'm not about to get into an argument with you right now. I'm way too happy.After they were caught after 70k, he went to the middle and back at one point, and kept his powder dryer. It happened. Sorry you missed it.
Evenepoel crosses the line as 25th, so less selective than Duitama.Will we see fewer finishers than in Duitama 1995? That year only 20 riders completed the race.
Kudos to him for actually finishing. Lots of riders would have climbed off for the sake of TT prep in his situation.
I guess the rumour that they're rebooting the red shoe diaries in Belgium with Remco was wrong.
It seems he doesn't know how to sit in a group and contribute to catching a single rider out in front. Has he ever done it? I'm not sure.That's not wheelsucking in any sense. Pog just gotta Pog
