Best race so far. Because even though VDP won, (we knew he would) he had to work for it. Multiple attacks that came back. Tribau rode strongest I’ve seen him all season save the beginning. And Btreklions are the strongest team. They did at times put VDP under pressure with attacks from nieuwenhuis, vanderhar, nys!!
Ну блин, ну Эли, нормально же ехал и отдал позиции всяким Ниувенхуисам с Ронхаарами, Майкл вообще где-то в жопе, в Мексике. Нис и молодЕц и мОлодец, через гонку, правда, выступает, но смотреть за ним интересно. Веча, спасибо за аплоад👍
so Thibau nice said afterwards that if he only had been in the slipstream of Mathieu he would have been able to keep up with him. Nice was not being cockey or anything, he also added he would never had one it. Still he is just being pushed so hard by Mathieu that Thibau couldn't keep up. If you have the legs to keep up with Mathieu, you are not going to give up after trying for a mere 1/4 to 1/3 of a whole round. I believe he ws sincere, but when we look at the footage we could see he had just blown himself up. I had to rewatch this due to the fact that he fell and I wonderd if that was before or after he lost contact with Mathieu and at was after he was set back by 12-15 seconds.
Not easy being Eli having to ride so hard to keep his ego in front of the pack. Problem is that no matter how many times he looks back, MvdP is still there until, inevitably, he decides to go. In the end it's a function of the merely good riding against the great. . .
