"I attacked very early because it was cold. With the rain I did not feel very well."
Mathieu Van der Poel
, after his exhibition on Sunday at the Tirreno-Adriatico, explained the genesis of his epic stage. With the prodigy boys the parameters do not work. established by the conventional. These children break schemes, dispense with traditional strategies and corner the heart rate monitors. They are moved by sensations. Blessed are they.
Cycling needed daring guys like these who amaze in the round of the two seas.
The challenge between the Dutch and the Belgian
Wout Van Aert
, both trained in the mud of cyclo-cross, plus the hyperactivity of
Julian Alaphilippe
and the enormous talent of
Tadej Pogacar
illuminate the new spring of a sport strengthened in these times of pandemic.
Beautiful this edition of the Italian round that has managed to catch the best of the peloton.
The exhibitions of the four tenors in the first five days (victories for Van del Poel and Van Aert and a victory for Alaphilippe and Pogacar)
dazzle fans
and sponsors.
ROLLERS AND ADVENTURERS
The quartet was taken this Monday, on the 169-kilometer winding route between Castelraimondo and Lido de Fermo, with less intensity than in previous days.
On the circuit of the Adriatic city, the riders showed their strength in a day in which the adventurers could also show off, such as
Van Moer
,
Oliveira
,
Bakelants
,
Würtz Schmidt
,
Simone Velasco
and
Liepins
, who got into the good break.
Triumph for the Danish Wurtz Schmidt (Israel), who frustrated the illusions of the Portuguese Oliveira (Movistar), the most active in the last section of the stage.
A forgettable day for
Iván García Cortina
, who did not start due to physical problems, and for
Mikel Landa
, who fell (without consequences) in the absence of 20 kilometers.
This Tuesday, closing day, with a
11.1 kilometer time trial
in San Benedetto, where Van Aert will seek his third partial victory, with Pogacar's permission, which, barring misfortune (impossible to forget the drama of
Primoz Roglic
in Paris-Nice ) the general will be scored.
Their advantage of 1.15 minutes seems impossible to neutralize by the Belgian phenomenon.
