  • Yeah, been thinking this, hadn't appreciated their consistency until I say your comment. They seem to have developed a very fluid approach, with 3 or even four riders capable of going for the win, then adapting to the conditions and strengths of the riders. Everyone thought Kwia was the protected rider, yet he was used as a foil like Bentancur to tenderise the remaining peloton. Presumably that was just a decision taken on the fly, rather than a rigid race plan. Lucky lady who picked up Poel's discarded gloves, better than bidon as a souvenir.

  • Everyone thought Kwia was the protected rider

    before the race Chris Froome said he'd do all he could for Poels, so I didn't share that thought

  • Ah Froome was doing the old reach-around for services rendered. I hadn't heard that, just assumed Kwia was the nominated leader. if he was Plan A then Sky perfectly executed it. The Netherlands must be pleased as punch
