What a ride by PhilGil

Won all the Monuments, except MSR

indeed!

 

What I thought was actually quite telling was how polit/gilbert got joined by the group of four that was really the final selection. In the end, they were the last two left out there.

 

DQS with 4 in the top8...so many cards to play, the tactics always seem right in the end.

ASO race.

 

No surprise there.

 

 

interestingly, this was only PhilGil's 3rd PR start.

Probably why there is no female PR. 

 

Ugh, our sport is a joke sometimes.

Total prize money was supposedly only €91k. Ouch.

Think prize money for The Masters this past weekend was $11.5million

Not really apples with apples, but certainly gives pause for thought.

I have no words to describe those people who stand in the road to take photos of riders. (face-palm)
