Best race I've seen in a long time, phenomenal riding. vdP back with panache but Moscon prob the strongest man out there today.
Did you watch it on eurosport? Commentator (Dan Lloyd I think) reckoned too much pressure on Moscon's second bike and it looked that way after the change. Really looked like he could take it home I thought.
Who am I to argue with Dan? Lower pressure is important, but fatigue is also a factor. If you're fresh, you can correct & you don't fall.
Moscon was really really unlucky + the bike change was way too slow. Where was the Ineos-car? Five minutes before Servais Knaven (driver of said car) was giving it a thumbs up, but when his man needed him, he wasn't there.
Strongest man in my opinion was the young lad that came in second. 200k in attack, didn't even seem tired after the race.
Dumbest man in my opinon was Mathieu Van Der Poel: attacking so viciously from 95k... I was shouting at the telly... If he played his cards right, waited voor Mons-en-Pevele, he probably would've won. At least he would have had more in a sprint.
Colbrelli was the smartest. He let Mathieu VDP do all the work in the chase & rode a magnificent sprint. Deserved winner obviously.
What an excellent race that was. Roll on Lombardia!
