kosmonooit Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 Woutkop must accept he is now a marked man, no one will take him to the line, best could have done today was make an alliance with someone else to work with to chase down JAP and they would be assured of at least a podium, instead they dithered, and he pulled too little too late.
SwissVan Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 Was never really a fan of the little frenchi, but what a massive effort and well deserved result today.You can see by his emotions that it means a lot to him. BIG RESPECT Monsieur Alaphilippe
Mntboy Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 Awesome race today, yesterday, well seems more could have been done by the chasers. Easy to say I guess, One question: IF Podg had saved his attack for one lap later, which might have been the outcome? Obviously Rodg was the Slovian man, but .....Maybe Alaphilippe would've been with him and he would still have won. If is something of a guessing game. Hard to know what might or might not have happened.

Its mind boggling that a select group comprising Fuglsang, Van Aert, Roglic, Hirschi and Kwiatkowski could not chase him down.... But thats road racing for you, nobody except the guy winning wants to bury themselves in case someone else might beat them I wonder of Roglic and Podg were communicating with each other, it looked like to me that Podg was sacrificing himself for Roglic, but Roglic's engine room ran out of steam Fuglsang, Van Aert, Roglic, Hirschi and Kwiatkowski

Today, same kind of scenario but the reason they didn't TTT was because of Wout (it seems) also he was not taking pulls so there was a non-cooperative dynamic which meant JAP kept his gap.

BIG RESPECT Monsieur Alaphilippe I think he’s great for racing - mistiming attacks and imploding, leg shakes and animation He’s exciting and fun to watch whether he gets it right or not. I’m glad he won because he goes for it

Pure Savage Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Wow, what a race, Juliean, Allan and Philip worked so well together to stay away from the chasers. We have seen most of his wins come like this, massive attack, then the group explodes behind not wanting to work. What a winner! Also well done to Spain and Italy taking 6 riders each to the final climb all to get dropped together.
Jbr Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 I want a Belgian kit. Best looking of them all. Ours leave much to be desired.. I'm french though so rather wear my colours Not bad indeed :
Ozzie NL Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 I'm french though so rather wear my colours Not bad indeed : Sorry bud, best to keep that quiet
TheoG Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Louis Meintjies did manage to finish, 21min down in 78th place
DieselnDust Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Lots of chatter in Flemish and Dutch media about Roglic not doing enough for WvA in pulling back Alaphilipe reading that as well. Sounds like sour grapes. WvA said Roglic did all he could. I think Roglic, Fuglsang, Van Aert, Hirshi and Kwaito needed to be more structured about pulling JA back. Instead they were half hearted because they were watching WvA all the time. The result is they all lost out
kosmonooit Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 new Sagan. He can climb better that Sagan could/can and on the TT as well (Wout)
