After victory on Saturday at Exact Cross Heerderstrand, Belgian national champion Eli Iserbyt almost made it a doubly successful weekend, but had to settle for second behind Thibau Nys at Superprestige Overijse this Sunday afternoon.
“I had a good pace, but I lacked some explosiveness in the last two laps. I tried, but I saw that Thibau was always tight on my wheel. He also climbed very well. In the end, it was just about reaching the finish. It was just about the legs. Thibau was better. Racing is not that complicated," Iserbyt reflected in his post-race interview, not making any excuses for his narrow defeat.
"Tactically, I kept myself calm in the first part. It was a tough race with all the hills and climbs, but the fastest wins today. I just ran into a stronger opponent today," continues Iserbyt, full of praise for race winner Nys. “These are his courses. Just because he makes a mistake on another course, doesn't mean the whole season is lost. I think he will find courses that suit him today and in the coming races. That is also the case on the Koppenberg. It is important for us to do just that little bit better.”

- 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
