- Alpecin-deceuninck, for Milano-Sanremo, don't have a key tactical peg in Philipsen. He's no longer unbeatable in the reduced bunch sprint at the end of Milano-Sanremo. Matthew Brennan will absorb the climbs better and is faster than him. Alpecin-deceuninck can't rely on him for that reason - if they do, Visma can push the pace a bit more with van Aert and Laporte, pretty much guaranteeing victory for Brennan. Van der Poel must attack (well, he doesn't need to because Pogačar will), but if Pogačar backs off for some reason (which he won't), van der Poel'll have to attack.
- And you read that in my post?
I already asked you once: What's wrong with your head?
- I already know. I have inside information.
- His Giro-Tour was different. The Giro came before the Tour. In his entire career so far he has never performed in the immediate post-tour races (between the Tour and the Canadian classics). The Giro was also against an incredibly weak competition - he (unlike what Jonas will have to do) used it purely for training
- at alpecin, mathieu’s prep for MSR is a helluva lot more important than jasper winning a stage of tirreno-adriatico. either you accept that or you don’t. you can disagree with their priorities, but that’s not a tactical argument. take it up with the roodhooft brothers. van der poel did exactly what the team wanted him to do.
- Matteo is a class act, well spoken and intelligent as anyone can see in interviews and youtube. He's well respected in Europe, lives in Nice, speaks good french and spanish showing his interest in the culture and people.
As far as ability, he is rankded around 19 or 20 UCI while Romo is 200+...All you have to do is see where they finished in this years head to head.
Any more instances like this and I suspect he's gone as a pro cyclist.
- Mathieu - soo talented, theirs nothing for anyone else... #egocentrale
- Chris is right
- Maybe crashing into a concrete drainage ditch on a descent and ending up in hospital has something to do with it…. Just a wild stab in the dark ….
- 8pm in a country that’s hardly getting ready to eat then? Gee wizz.
Still, only really relevant in conjunction with waking time, plenty of shift work involves similar routines and is probably not bringing health benefits.
