This. Absolutely. You nailed the feelings I have been having, and both of these races were eminently satisfying and suspenseful! I love your work!

Agreed 100%. Great to see Puck get the tactics right. And great for Skjelmose to win Amstel.

It's no malice against Pogacar to be glad for this result. It's important for cycling that he's seen to be human, because who'd watch if the only question was 'who's going to be second?'. And because it helps to allay the inevitable ugly suspicion that surround any rider who's so dominant.

Definitely. After yesterday's performance at Liege, all the negativity has sprung back up again. It's inevitable I suppose but it was nice to see a different outcome for once.
