  Del toro will smoke him in the sprint, who is he kidding

  well, he was going too fast - hence the coach being thrown out of the race. guess I'm not the only one with this opinion. but you do your research as you like to do and give us the full mr know nothing report

  one of the most eloquent riders is leaving the peloton. he is also amazing in the regular radio rtf podcast of the two former german gcn presenters richie (his cousin) and tobi.

  Wind could also be a factor, before they even reach the circuit.

  Well the Dutch chasing the Dutch was hilarious in the past.

  I’m glad he added that last sentence re MVDP coz it would have been stupid to ignore the possibility of him going with WVA or Remco if one attacks, that would put a lot of pressure to work together on PS & IDT

  How technical is it? The Glasgow circuit was so technical it made chasing very difficult to organise and was an obvious advantage for an early attacker.

  And he was angry once he was leading and had to change bikes due to a flat having no idea how close or far the chase behind was. Not sure there’s steady correlation between his level of anger and performance, it seems to work both ways.

  Anything is possible. Most people are making their predictions on very selective assessment, looking only at something like elevation gain, one particular race, current performance, body weight or simply rider preference. Every argument has a counter.argument. Those who looked to the results of Montréal forgot to consider many had ridden Quebec 2 days before. The riders most climbing are least suited and experienced or performing in Classics. The rider least suited (MVDP, even though theoretically Wout should climb even less well) is the one who has shown he can destroy prejudice, not only did he finish just behind Tadej and Bardet at LBL (4200m) beating Pidcock but he won in Glasgow, in front of Tadej and Wout, easily, despite a crash and that had 3600m of elevation gain over a similar distance. But as you say, even MVDP has been caught out not knowing there were still riders ahead of him when sprinting for the line.
