- I guess the president is very happy to see one American win in Canada.
Leave the president and politicians aside the sports. Was a great victory from a very smart move in the right moment. Quick Step won a lot of classics like this. Having numbers. Del Toro also played some part. Going to blame him? Thats a great friend. Also don't forget McNulty last time in Montreal. He was there with Pogacar. When big guns control each other others can win. Well done McNulty.
- Not sure why you are hating on Americans but looking at cycling there are many more Europeans that cheated in cycling than Americans. Looking at the TdF's that Armstrong won, the top 5 -10 in all those doped and weren't Americans.
- if you get to within just 10 seconds and can't close the gap that's on you Tom and Mike. both of these losers wanted del Toro to help them which of course wouldn't be cross border collusion, it's only collusion if it's perceived that he's helping someone else besides them. sour grapes all around. bunch of pussies in the UK and Australia. bring a better team next time.
- yeah sucks your guy lost
- @MrMauMau: at the moment that McNulty took off, del Toro had Seixas on his wheel. Later on, was he able to follow Pidcock as he linked up to and passed Ciccone? He was not. That tells me what I need to know - he was gassed and couldn't follow. Maybe he had less reason because of team politics, but it can't have all been politics.
- The level of the sport even at lower ranks is very high, maybe too much..
- I heard Wout had been instrumental that day in chasing back MVDP’s attacks, tho tbh I didn’t watch more than short highlights. (Don’t need to watch Remco winning 😖)
- 😂 Me too (in the absence of Pogi)!
- This is all very Hornery. The vast majority gave VDP little chance on this circuit that most said favoured the climbing duo.
This was probably also quite a widespread theoretical calculation amongst riders and teams but the facts of racing are that each race is determined by how each rider reacts towards precalculated expectations until the scenario changes, and then, without radio and with so much chopping and changing, good luck to get any strategy going well before someone else messes yours up again.
Sometimes it seems like some think riders have their strength on the day visible on their helmet so others can automatically know which is the best strategy to adopt to beat them.
- As if his opinion is respected in the cycling world.
