Vetplant Posted April 24, 2019 Share 831Watt for 48s - peaking at 1400W, nah nothing special to see here. The numbers tell part of the story, this guy is obviously very strong. As has been said probably 10 times on here already: It was his willingness to do the work to catch the leaders, even if that means he pulls some guys to the front, and still back his sprint which made this a remarkable victory. What would be absolutely telling would be the power graph for Allaphillipe and Fuglsang from 36km to-go till 3km to-go vs their power output from 3km to-go until the final 1km when Kwiatkowski caught them. I'm guessing they both dropped their output by at least 100W in those crucial 2km which gave Kwiatkowski and the rest a chance to catch them. The Strade Bianchi finish played the biggest part in making those two play Poker and overplay their hands, trying to bluff the other one into doing the work.

daveno7 Posted April 24, 2019 Share JA and JK were playing games with each other at 4kmto go already. by 1.2km they were riding a sub 5 Argust still a thrill looking at the end of this race... but lets drop this sky idea and MvDP signing with them...2 years of their "training" and ideas and he will be a ruined rider..i think this guy will have his career on his own terms like Sagan to an extent...

Robbie Stewart Posted April 24, 2019 Share Normally, people who use double punctuation (??), are arrogant... But not as arrogant as people who reckon breaking the World Everesting Record is all about gearing and eating the food reserved for animals, and calling people names not meant for this forum.

Ozzie NL Posted April 24, 2019 Share Actually he's just Dutch. Very confident people so its easy to confuse this with arrogance. "Arrogant" is a very misinterpreted word. It gets used when people can't describe Confidence is a positive mannerThere are only two types of people; the Dutch and those who want to be Dutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
