They went it without any real plan that day. Which makes no sense. It'd be much better if they had a race plan and rode to it, i.e. our best chance of a result today is if we make it a hard race, get riders in breaks, keep Swift safe and if it all comes back together ride for him in the sprint.
I meant he's the best of a bunch which is mostly unsuited to a course with that profile.
But maybe Swift actually.
Mostly likely a repeat of the worlds in Italy a few year ago where no British rider made it past halfway.
