"First and third in a race like this. That's a huge team effort" - Elisa Longo Borghini praises Lidl-Trek's after stunning Tour of Flanders success

The question pre-Tour of Flanders WE 2024 was how to stop Team SD Worx. For the answer, we must look to a very impressive performance by Lidl-Trek as the secured first and third through Elisa Longo Borghini and Shirin van Anrooij.
"'The team supported me very well after my fall due to a flat tire," reflected a very thankful, race-winning Italian in her interview afterwards. "It's great, Shirin was a star and we ended up being first and third here, in a race like this. That's a huge team effort."
"Our strength is our team," Longo Borghini emphasized, after comments about her chasing down her younger teammate in the finale. "Shirin waited, it was a move from the team. I'm not a party animal, but we're definitely going to celebrate this with the team."

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
