Dirt Tracker Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Another "second tier" rider who impressed was Dylan Van Baarle who was very strong and aggressive on Sunday only 5 weeks after breaking his hand. I find it a bit strange that Asgreen who clearly had very good legs on the day refused to work with Dylan when they lead the race .. if he did they might have stayed away till the end. Maybe Asgreen went through a bad patch at that time only to recover later again , who knows. Van Baarle is a strange one. he's was 6th in 2016 and 4th in 2017 at Flanders, had a shocker last year and came good-ish again yesterday. You never know with Sky, they have a different philosophy with riders and targets (preferring to give the rider everything thy need in terms of training, equipment to get to a physical level etc and to be the best rider he can be at that event rather than galvanising a team in a specific way for a cohesive goal). Even so looking at the team on the day and how Rowe has been going recently you'd expect more of their numbers near the end and more team work overall. Maybe they really can't improvise as a team and react like the classics need.
