It can be but I don't think it was in this case. Pogacar looks so strong that he could have pulled it all by himself, Sivakov helped but I don't think he was critical. Counter-factual so we will never know.
I don't think Remco is on a bad day, I think he is riding like a buffoon and only has himself to blame for this mess.
Still, tell him that you need to catch your breath for at least one lap (you're teammates after all) and say that you'll help pulling later, when you have recovered a bit.
Remco was scared at 100 km out. The difference is there.
Not necessarily. But he has been riding like and idiot ever since he has been isolated.
It would be quite nice if such a thing was possible, but alas.
We get it, Chewie. Chill, man. I think a lot of people hoped for a tight battle like last year.
I'm actually going to head out for a ride. It's going to be HOT later today...wishing fall weather would arive sooner.
I envy that you find this entertaining. This feels like watching a race you missed, the next day, and already knowing the outcome. It can still be interesting to see how it played out, but it's not exciting.
Dude was powerbulking for the flat parts of the TT and looked worse than Ganna going uphill on that TT bike.
