I was going to write something this oddly pedantic, so good job on beating me to the punch! -An Economist

I was really hoping Simon would go "all or nothing", but expected him to ride for 3rd. Glad Visma went "all in" for the win!

I love it when the "little guy" wins!

If anyone still thinks the UCI is a good thing for cycling, I wonder what evidence would be sufficient for convincing them otherwise?

Yes, the UCI is great at preventing efficient bicycles from getting market traction. What a great service they provide!

Everyone knew he was racing for third. But, after a long hard race like that, anything can happen in the sprint.

1. Most people who made it to 5 in "ye olde days" made it into their 70s. 2. "Working out" (what we used to call "working") is good for you, makes you stronger, and makes you live longer.

1. Yes, for very small children, one shouldn't tax their bodies too much. 2. For older children, well, carrying heavy loads is actually a good thing and helps them get strong, see all of history prior to 150 years ago. 3. Just because an idea has good intentions doesn't mean it does good or is smart. My point wasn't that the intentions of the rule were evil, but that it was a foolish rule.

This is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard. It's an advantage to the person who does his best power at the highest RPM. This rule was dumb in junior races and would be dumb at the pro level.

Yeah, but MVDP actually isn't. If Pog goes up the road, it is his responsibility to run it down, and everyone knows he has the most to lose. It's just rare that anyone calls him on it.
