Luke Lamperti on successful start in Soudal - Quick-Step: "It definitely means a lot to come in and perform immediately"
Cycling
American Luke Lamperti was on the verge of his first pro victory just four days into his WorldTour career. Soudal - Quick-Step's talented sprinter won the bunch sprint behind the lone leader Finn Fisher-Black on Friday.
"It’s always nice to be on the podium, but as a team we want to win," Lamperti told Velo. "Finn was really strong on the climb, so fair play to him because we couldn’t bring him back."

"It definitely means a lot to come in and perform quite quick in the races and yet also have a good start," Lamperti said. "This is a really nice way to start in the team. So far it’s been a nice season and hopefully we can continue."
"We could see him go. The climbs are pretty long and straight here so we could see him the whole way," Lamperti said of Fisher-Black’s move. "He was really strong. We rode a bit on the downhill, but you can’t bring back much time there on the downhill."

- 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
