Giro d'Italia 2023 Combativity Award | Derek Gee gets rewarded for breakthrough aggressive performance
CyclingSunday, 28 May 2023 at 21:20
Derek Gee was perhaps the most surprising breakthrough of the whole Giro d'Italia. The breakaway hunter joined breakaways a whole seven occasions, and finished second on four days without winning a stage. His tenacity has rewarded him with a trip to the podium in Rome.
The Israel - Premier Tech rider was one of the stars of the race, achieving results that were quite astounding for the Israeli team. Four second places and two fourth places from breakaways, and finished second in the KOM, points, intermediate sprint and breakaway classification altogether. The combativity award was the acknowledgement of a strong race.

- 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
