Question: Does Remco's freakish aero position mean he's putting out the same watts as the chasers? Fewer? #couchpeloton #liegebastogneliege #procycling

Pedal that bike!
@MylesRyden And we have exactly that now: impressive but boring.
Well, just Remco I guess. #couchpeloton #liegebastogneliege
Are the Trek boys gonna get across? Or is this the race (Remco & Tom)? #couchpeloton #liegebastogneliege
Well, looks like that's that. #couchpeloton #liegebastogneliege
@MylesRyden Indeed! Plus, do we really want winners to be a foregone conclusion?
If Wikipedia is to be believed, Pidcock is 18 pounds lighter than Pogacar but got dropped on the steepest climb? Something doesn't add up. #amstelgoldrace
@MylesRyden @tinyspheresof I'm not so sure, either, and see it the way Myles does. There's a fan video you can dig up that shows the incident from nearly head on, and it really looks like MVDP ran Degenkolb off the road/into the crowd.
@MylesRyden @bananawatch As impressive as MVDP's ride was, the win was anticlimactic. But the women's race? AWESOME!!! 10-second gap with 10k to go, and you still hold off the peloton? Incredible.
@MylesRyden To me it's clear he was at fault in the Degenkolb crash. He tried to shoot a gap that his teammate rapidly closed, and instead of backing a bit and trying again later he pushed Degenkolb into the crowd and a crash. It felt akin to a sprinter riding a rival into the barriers.
