"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.
