Alaphilippe’s race sense.. sheer brilliance. One killer attack, set up by a class French squad. Hey may as well of had a cutlass between his teeth with that move.. but, not only the strongest but the most intelligent too. That win had everything. Chapeau.

Wout van Aert: Incredible power delivered with finesse and minimal fuss. Notice the lack of lateral movement of the bike, the power just driven down and through his machine. No waste. A Brutalist form of poetry delivered with the clinical, savage grace of a Great White shark.
