this guy didn’t need or get any help and he won
my kind of rider on a small team without much help or funding and he destroyed the field in the sprint

Congratulations to Fuglsang for his "solo" win today. His team sacrificed themselves unselfishly throughout to get him in position at the bottom of the crucial climb. Alaphilippe's team did the same for him, but he wasn't able to finish it off.

Brevity is good. I missed what led up to the final sprint, just saw the highlights. What the clip made it look like, was that van der Poel just powered through a bunch of guys who were somewhat hesitating and looking at each other, and not expecting him. Should have watched the whole race.

Van Der Poel is special. I believe what Lance said is true about this guy.
i did not see today’s race yet.
