Vollering was riding for herself in spite of the nation she represented. Fair enough, let Vos go and follow any attacks. If after that Vos gets swallowed up, you have a chance, but you don't put your own team members to the sword. I am glad she finished off the podium. Totally self centred riding deserves nothing but failure.
At a certain point, they all have to think about themselves for the win. Demi just did it a bit earlier than may have been ideal.
We'll never know and it does not matter: the race is over, and without an alternate universe, it's all just speculation as to what might have been.
As race director, I would have told Demi to attack, too. Yes, it might drop Vos, but Kopecky was going to win the sprint anyhow.
Demi dropped Vos to secure the win for herself. Unfortunately, going solo meant that she couldn't play team tactics and then had to cover the attacks by herself. Not to mention, she isn't the best sprinter in the group.
and now we perhaps know why SD Worx didn't support Demi. she rides for herself, she seems to be very full of herself.
There is no partly, Demi Destroyed Vos- Simple fact and she was her teammate
