Nowadays life and society are all about careful planing, maintaining control and minimizing risks.

      I don’t understand why he did not force colbrelli to lead out the sprint
      Mvp lead out the sprint and was the least fast of 3

      One off the old cycling laws goes (and i have to parafrase in English): 'You always eat someone else's dinnerplate first'. hahaha something Louis van Gaal say probably. It means that you let some one else do the work and then finish it off. Cobrelli did that perfectly. MvdP colsed all the gaps between a 100 and 30 km. Then Cobrelli started to work. He was the smartest rider today.

      Despite his misfortune in years past, here in Italy he is well known for always having a bit extra in the bad weather... He already was Rainy Colbrelli to me, but after yesterdays win I think he deserves your new nickname ;)

      Felt like a guaranteed Colbrelli win for the last 10km when MVDP carried on doing the bulk of the work, but there's always that crazy thought that MVDP is doing something "Amstel-Gold-esque" and is gonna pull for 60km and then win the sprint.
