A sprint in the eighteenth stage of the Giro? That was impossible. It would be a typical breakaway ride. And if for some reason that wasn’t the case, a late attack would make it to the finish. You guessed it: it was a bunch sprint after all.
In this episode of In The Wheel Niek Goedvolk, together with Roxane Knetemann and cycling reporter Marijn Abbenhuijs, delves into the surprising course of the race. Why did the teams think it was okay when a group of only four men rode away? Wasn’t a large leading group much more interesting for most teams?
We also discuss Jasper Stuyven’s impressive lead-out for stage winner Paul Magnier. What did the Belgian do so well there? And how special is it that the two already seem to sense each other flawlessly? Just listen!
