Van der Poel is far, far beyond being a 'black horse' nowadays

Currently, yes, but he can jump like a rabbit out of a hat with form at the right time and time.

I mean he is way higher than a 'black horse'  A black horse is someone who's not really one of the favourites, but maybe on a good day could go for a surprise....Van der Poel winning would just really not be much of a surprise

I value him a little higher than "black horse". Certainly L'Équipe will appreciate his skills and will give him three stars or more.

If they don't, they can fire whoever gives those stars

Following this way of thinking, there should be no one in this newspaper who does cycling

Maybe Reguigui is infected with Pero Sagan and is forever second .

I know, and he was lucky the likes of Viviani were dropped earlier  

 

Always interested to see one of the two biggest African races being in Gabon...their cyclists are just completely not on the level for even this race.
