  Erik wasn't as gifted as MVDP. That's his brother's ego talking.

  I find it hard to believe Eric was as technically gifted as MvdP, who is the complete CX rider.

  for sure. just that last lap, for example. van der poel was way off the gas, just making sure he didn’t make any major mistakes.

  He travelled to Down Under rather to see koala bears and kangaroos than for some serious racing anyway.

  Wout won CX 3 year’s running, not sure this is that great form (compared to his usual preparation) and let’s not forget 2 things, an hour of CX doesn’t require the ssme preparation as 6-8 hour road races or GCs, BUT building up for a CX in haste could hamper the continued build-up for the road if he didn’t carefully prepare a base before. With all his injuries may e shortcuts were taken along the way that will be paid in the long run. But as long as he’s not sneakily working towards a GC bid (I still won’t put it past him to try), he should be fine.

  Yes, he made a great effort, however, nobody is considering how much more MVDP might have been able to pull out the bag had he been pushed.

  They are doing whatever they can do that is allowed by the current testing. The same as every other sport--except cleaner than the vast majority since cycling has a real testing program. I am not sure why anyone would expect or want anything different.
