- well one team did not lose control, largely due to mvdp and simmon’s strength. i wonder if in hindsight, mvdp might rethink his tactics. i wonder if he indeed would have been strong enough to stay with all the climbers if he had waited a bit longer….
- commenters comment like well why didn’t they just bridge across, or cover brandon’s move…. i don’t think you know what it’s like to be that gassed at the end of such a brutally long slugfest…. and mcnulty was probably freshest and his one attack looked initially stronger than any of the recent prior attacks, imo.
- Another young guy putting too much pressure on himself. At only 22 he has time in his favour.
- Demi's win in the Women's Race, for all the excitement, finished as per the script. This one was one of the few - Alison Jackson's win at PR also comes to mind - that gives hope to all domestiques and breakaway riders that one day, their turn will come and they will achieve their dream.
- I agree with you, we can't compare Pogi and Del Toro. But the fact is Del Toro didn't have a good team and was left by himself. On the other hand, the Belgians had the best team, but Remco and Wout also got nothing. ZERO!!! It was pathetic and sad watching both of them, Wout in front, Remco behind him, both struggling and out of breath. Why, I don't know, there is absolutely no excuse. The Belgians were the biggest losers in Montreal.
- The Americans had the numbers and no designated leader so if it hjad not been McNulty it would have been Jorgensen attacking so the finale played out according to the numbers.
- Yes he and Pidcock needed to bury themselves AFTER the climb but neither was prepared to commit. They were fine on the climb since they were the strongest climbers but doing on the flat when it matterred they didn't do.
- The youngest stars were thinking not so much about themselves as the weight of responsibility of winning for their country. It's clear from their reactions afterwards that letting their country down was sitting heavily on Seixas and Del Toro. It leaves a bad taste that much older, experienced riders with a secure track record are blaming young, inexperienced talents for their failure to win.
- I like that UAE's website has already updated their photos to show Pog in his post-WC kit. Before they even get one of McNulty in his. I guess they knew Pog wasn't going to re-up the jersey for a while but still, respecting the jersey - I can get behind that.
- Blythe doing what Blythe does best, talks utter rubish.
