That is such a disgrace! He had an excellent likelihood of a pleasant podium.
Once I take a look at him and likewise learn some interviews of him, I’ve the sensation that he’s beginning to run out of steam. Perhaps he was actually hit yesterday and knew it was over, however I’ve the sensation that one thing in him was already damaged earlier than the tour, which now instantly got here again. Too many crashes this yr (and on the whole) and likewise not the legs of some years in the past, his love for the game and psychological toughness appears to be gone a bit in the mean time. I do not know if he ought to preserve specializing in grand excursions (although his group may assume otherwise).
Perhaps he ought to focus extra on 1-days? A yr of blasting within the Walloon Arrow, LBL and Lombardia and decide his days presumably within the tour? I feel it could be nice to see him in such a job.
