- That would make Wout worth about 9.4 million in gold as of today. His current salary is about 3.8 million, so write him a 5.6 million bonus check...
- Poker 0 - Chess 1
- I think they just underestimated Yates capability and by the time they realised it it was maybe considered too late or risky for either team to help the other go after him, bet they were both secretly praying he’d lose strength before the end but obviously they now can’t admit to bad tactics so they’re letting the rider take all the flack. In football you sack the manager not the player.
- Yeah, I have a vague memory of something like that but it will happen for sure, no matter how much cycling fans can tolerate boredom, the fight for viewers dictates that the content becomes ever more juicy, and as it’s hard to insert cheerleaders or handicaps, this is one of the few options available, they'll just wait until Visma have less clout because all the nation sponsors are never going to be against anything that could monetise the sport.
- Wout is awesome - he's had a horrible run of luck in the last year, but hasn't whined about it and had just been heads down, riding his heart out. Love him.
- Also, aside the bad taste of ridiculing in public, not too sure of his parenting skills coz it sure sounds like he’s already decided his boy won’t have much career choice. if this is the kind of stuff he knows at 5.
- 100%, Carapaz never took pull only attacked, he was more worried about making 100% sure Del Toro couldn't win than giving himself a chane to stay in the race, it was even worse than 2 french riders together and thats saying something.
- I think Their problem is Pogi, They have so gotten used to Pogi tactics of "Hulk Smash" that they forget that their other riders are not even close to Pogi and need tactics
- "Follow Carapaz"
"Carapaz is taking a leak" "Follow Carapaz"
"But Yates is going ahead" "Follow Carapaz"
So he dutifully followed Carapaz to 2nd Place
- A guy like Del Toro came as helper to Ayuso and Yates. his decisions came from the car more often than not. In the Last Stage he did not crack. If only he had fought as hard as he did for 2nd place against Carapaz, he would have won
