    Why have none of MvdP's teammates dropped back to pace him back on?

    In what way? If he wins, he's always impressive. If he doesn't, it's definitely an exciting race.

    I think he's great value.

    Superb sprint from Girmay. I thought he'd gone way too early and vdP looked to have far more power but he managed to somehow kick again as vdP was about to pass

    You don't see vdP look that smashed when he wins. Thumbs up when he knew he was beaten was really nice.

    Thought MVDP was going to get past. Delighted for Girmay though. Kudos to them both 👍

    Great job by Pozzovivo too, world's smallest leadout man.
