And what’s with Berny? He was there but made no attempt to win IMO. I know it’s not his parcours, but couldn’t he have come to the front on the final climb and raised the tempo from the base to force Jules and big lad to ride out of their comfort zone. The next group wasn’t close so I think he had time to risk blowing up. He just seemed to settle for third, which isn’t samba style at all.
You think the power they were doing at the base already exceeded his best 60 seconds?
You may be right. Even so he didn’t seem do anything to impose himself on the finish, which seems like a psychological problem from where I’m reclining.
