MVDP explained after the race that his sprint is best kept short and from a low speed, whereas WVA prefers a longer stretch to get to top speed. So he slowed down and waited, did his thing and won on the line.
Sean Kelly said exactly this with about 10 kms to go.
glad there's real expertise in the commentary box, something I'm not hearing often in lfgss feedback about the broadcasts ;-)
