- Absolutely. The problem is that it does not look like anyone will break Cippolinni's record of 42 Giro stage wins anytime soon.
- Kaden Groves's turn was crucial to ensure that Jake Stewart (who went early) didn't get away. Also, if you've noticed, IPT's jersey is blue with some blood splattered on it (and hence the red + blue = pinkish purple), if you see what I'm getting at
- It's Kaden Groves, not Caden Groves. Also, I see the fact that Groves has been brought along by Alpecin-deceunick is proof that Van der Poel will be let loose on the classic stages - he can empty himself in the breakaway one day, and in the following flat stage, even if Van der Poel is so exhausted from the previous stage, Kaden Groves is still an excellent lead out man (if not better). Alot of people, including Sean Kelly, were saying that Van der Poel would still be the final lead out man, but that would simply not make sense, because Groves is more powerful than Van der Poel
- yeah... but the question is: why was he interested? a new Jonas behavior. The "old" Jonas wouldn't waste a single nanowatt on a kom point.
- I love this "new" Jonas!
- Thanks for the preview.
Stewart, if a reduced bunch sprint? Waerenskold too?
Both like a tough day and a hard sprint.
The finale might be a bit too punchy for them though.
- When I saw crosswind, I thought: Milan out, Merlier win. It's very odd that Merlier's been affected by echelons, usually he is a master at positioning. To be honest, I didn't think about Jasper (his spring campaign was weak).
- Jonas was at the front because there was a sharp corner on the descent right after the KOM mark, and he wanted to be one of the first through it. He was asked about going for KOM, and said he just took it because no one else seemed interested.
- Maybe just enjoying his newly built-up strength?
- I'm curious: Why did Jonas WILLINGLY sprint for the KOM jersey? it was intentional, not accidental.
