The histrionics are a function of multiple world class riders with multiple world class egos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 14,144 Posted May 30 #15 Share Posted May 30 Wiebes has been named as the captain of the team, so the rest should ride for her. Should be a matter of Van Dijk chasing down whenever needed and Vos and Vollering jumping after whatever might be dangerous and then - and this might be the hard one for Vollering - not take turns pulling on the front. If they manage to get Wiebes to the finish in the lead group, however big it may be, it should be a done deal*. *as far as done deals exist in sports If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
