"Because of the fight for positioning, the legs were already cooked" - Dylan Groenewegen unable to conquest hectic sprint on stage 3
Cycling
Dylan Groenewegen crossed the line in Bayonne 8th, far from what he had hoped for. After the hectic finale, the Ducth sprinter simply didn't have enough energy to fully dive into the sprint, despite having quite good legs, according to his own words.
"The team did a good job in what was expected to be a hectic final," Groenewegen evaluated after the stage. "We have yet to meet on the bus, but I think we were a little too far at a mile. Luka Mezgec and I came a long way, which wasn't bad, but we got stuck between the fences and had to brake."
"I tried to go, but my sprint was already done," said Groenewegen. "Because of the fight for positioning, the legs were already cooked. However, the legs felt good, so on to the next chance on Tuesday," said Groenewgen motivated.

- Nonsense Mistermaumau. Tom has noticeably more character and personality than Mathieu. Look at the photograph with this article - when was the last time you saw Mathieu crack a smile like that?RupertBear17-12-2024
- Get over yourself! Tom is fine, he's quite a character in his way - he's got a great sense of humour for a start. Watch him and Matt Stephens do one of their cafe rides, they're both a hoot. I don't mind Mathieu, but he's a bit of a cold fish in case you haven't noticed. You guys make me laugh, you get a unique rider like Tom appears on the scene and all you can do is bitch! By the way Senna, your use of a comma and then the lack of a space between words is usually an indicator of ASD. Now I'm being bitchy!RupertBear17-12-2024

- sadly true. mathieu is the bedrock AD was built on, and he’s always shouldered that role and always seen the bigger picture: took MUCH less money than he could have gotten while the team was growing, and has written them new book on what it means to be a completely selfless superstar, witness every ferocious leadout for jasper and what he did at MSR last year. yup, so far that’s not thomas.OCexile16-12-2024
