CyclingFriday, 09 June 2023 at 16:52
Stage 2 of the ZLM Tour was another tense day, and Jakub Mareczko has taken full advantage of it to take his first big stage win of the year for Alpecin-Deceuninck.
The stage was this time around more controlled by the peloton, which saw several sprinter teams not allowing a surprise as was the case on stage 1. There were crashes however and Mark Cavendish saw a mistimed mechanical take him out of contention in the final kilometers.
In the final sprint however Alpecin-Deceuninck nailed the leadout, Robbe Ghys performed a perfect leadout which still earned him a third place on the day, he led out Mareczko into victory on the day, who beat Olav Kooij to the line.

- Do the 3 stooges: Armstrong, Bruyneel and Hincapie are invested somehow in this web site? Otherwise I completely can't understand. Nobody cares what they think or do. Let those 3 conmen sink to oblivionBM29-05-2025
- 19 and 20 will be tougher for Del Toro to recover if he gets dropped again.mobk29-05-2025
- "I’m still in the game" What game??? It is not even visible unless a commentator biased towards british riders mentions him. He is not in GC Top 10. He is not in stage top3 either. So he is neither here nor there. Even the helpers of UAE are better than him. he seriously needs to reconsider GC dreamsabstractengineer29-05-2025
- That is just talk for the sake of talking. The real problem is NOBODY yet knows Del Toto’s place in the hierarchy so everyone is just guessing if and when things might change, and usually in hindsight, predictions further than one day ahead being pretty pointless seeing as even for the next stage most get it wrong most of the time.Mistermaumau29-05-2025

- That's certainly not true. Caruso (in 4th) is three minutes back and Storer (10th) is nearly eight. No one outside the top three has even a remote chance of winning (or, very likely, being anywhere near the final podium.)verve82529-05-2025
- Given the last week's inclinations - he's riding really well.. it's all to play for and they all know that to, any of the top 10 can win this

- You were wondering how come MVDP is rated higher by whoever and the way JM refers to a website. Obviously they’re all somehow ranking which means attributing a score to performance. As I said, no idea how but one reason he may be ranked higher is if more than just wins are counted. Like at the Olympics, some rank by gold, some prefer considering all medals, usually in order for a preferred country/athlete to look better. At some moment, in order to rank more than wins, every ranking or algorithm has to attribute points or value to different positions in order to tally and compare.Mistermaumau28-05-2025
