@anewcd @RuairiTraderIRL @NaichacaCycling Not just more aero, lower centre of gravity, better cornering. It was the first thing that he said in his post race interview.
Makes sense for a race where the metres climbed is low
@DanielSilvrio20@LosBrolin Was in his early season plans to ride it. From his point of view nothing to lose, for Ineos they will want to see how he goes in a longer race before the TDF next year
@daniellloyd1@AndyJBall Going solo at 40km from the break was epic/crazy. McNulty+Bettiol cramped in the heat yesterday. So was not confident. Plus the possibility of losing in the final km after being in the break from km0 was too horrible to contemplate!
Agree about W3 TDF, but there was Wout!
@Dwalaker @505PIR@Vaughters@LanterneRougeCP Attributes for a good cycling analyst are knowledge of parcours, team tactics, rider strengths and weaknesses, and application of game theory; rider attributes are high FTP, W/kg and an unusual ability to suffer. Are the two skills sets correlated?
@AnnaKiesenhofer@corebodytemp Absolutely EPIC ride Anna, loved watching it. Wondered what you were doing at 40km…. but what an effort and congratulations on Gold.
