He further adds, "I don’t mean attacking after she’s crashed, but realising where she is on the road and if she’s a little bit behind, if she’s caught back in the peloton, if it’s a dangerous moment, you’ve got to take advantage of every single second when you can on her.”
He thinks that it is inevitable that another cyclist will take the place of the Movistar rider. The Dutchwoman finished 64th at
Omloop Het Nieuwsblad WE, her next tartget will be
Strade Bianche.“But also to see Van Vleuten, final year, really going for it. There's a range of new sprinters coming in as well, which seem a lot more dominant,” concluded Blythe.
