- Quite amusing to watch how much negativity is thrown at Horner on this article. I still like his insights. Maybe he's old school, but not everything he says is irrelevant.
- Now that he's probably got the GC leadership for the team, I'm curious to see what he can actually do. For Itzulia Basque Country he's facing Del Toro, Seixas, Roglic, etc. (according to PCS's start list)
- Good idea. But their greatest chance is still Pogi going all out on Cipressa. Del Toro could still try to keep up with Mvdp to counter attack him when Pogi is marked.
- Del Toro wasn't pulling on Cipressa last year. He was way behind in the peloton.
UAE has higher chance of winning if two prong attack is used. Get Del Toro over Pogio with Tadej and play relay attacks and force opponents to cover.
- He simply did it to check how idiotic Horner was and Horner took the bait
- Ah.... so the agent has on the ground news as it happens? Why should an agent get to know about this need-to-know basis news at the time? That smells fishy.
- 1- van der Poel
2- van Aert
3- Pogačar
The race will be even more selective than last year (assuming Pogačar is not better form). Ganna (who isn't in as great form as last year) won't be able to keep up but will win the sprint out of the chase group, which will feature Del Toro in it.
In the meantime, we have Milano-Torino. Pidcock is the strongest rider, but Red Bull have a duo (?) of Pellizzari and Roglič, with good support around them. A certain fella named Uijdtebroeks is making his return but I scrolled past his name.
- Might it have been better if the entire Alpecin-Premier Tech team pushed the pace super hard (harder than what Mathieu did) on the climb, before launching him and getting the other sprint teams to chase. He'd hold out for a very long time, and the team would still have had Tibor del Grosso to lead out Philipsen (del Grosso appears to have succeeded van der Poel in that matter). It'd have been a very interesting finale then.
- Pidcock then?
- Oliver Naesen - Belgian rider who rides for Alpecin-Premier Tech but always wears the jersey of Decathlon CMA CGM in races.
