      It actually sounds extremely condescending, it's the classic "idol talk", the whole tired "eat your vegetables and you can be like me" saying - Bitch, I'm not trying to be like you, I'm trying to beat your fucking ass
      She literally talked to her rivals like she's in a completely different league and that the rest may never ever be able to reach her heights

    Normally, we'd be shocked by a rider finishing 2 minutes ahead of all GC competitors after 60km of solo riding. In this case, that person was Demi Vollering and she finished in second place, 3 and 1/2 minutes behind AVV. What a crazy performance.

AVV is dominant in 8-10 day races, but we have no idea if she can sustain it longer. What if 2-3 days in the mountains is her limit? Could someone else overtake her afterwards?
      Also women start to catch up to men in recovery ability when races get very very long - eg women have won in a mixed field in the TCR.

Agree re ELB, should've waited for the group and she probably would've finished with Niewiadoma/Ludwig/Labous. FDJ seemed to be the team who could do most as a team with Brown and Muzic pulling for Cecilie. Real shame Cavalli isn't here anymore, I'd have liked to see them get after it as a team vs al the solo riders.

    I think SD Works put themselves into the same bucket as Ineos did in this year's Tour. Multiple possible captains/GC leaders on the team, not a ton of cohesion and collaboration, and team management more interested in a stage win while totally resigned to giving away the yellow jersey.

    • @JonathanvG-wj1ro
      @JonathanvG-wj1ro 2 года назад +2

      Disagree. In the end there isn't much you can do against someone who takes minutes on a mountain stage. They could have gained maybe, at most, a minute on AVV in the previous stages. Would that be worth it over a stage win. Not in my opinion. AMP had a total off-day. That has nothing to do with strategy. And don't forget DV is only 25 years old, very young still. This was the best they could do.

    • @rulifaller8474
      @rulifaller8474 2 года назад +1

    • @ktakashismith
      @ktakashismith 2 года назад

      @@JonathanvG-wj1ro I want to believe there is something you can do, that is if everyone on SD Worx is firing. Unfortunately they weren't, because AMP was off the back at the start of the stage and Reusser copped a concussion yesterday. If both of those riders were in a state, they could have tried sending Reusser, AMP and Majerus up the road in a break before Petit Ballon and have them sag back to wherever AvV starts putting Vollering into difficulty, and rain attacks. But without the double-threat or who's-the-leader game between AMP and Vollering, I agree they don't have many cards to play against someone so singularly dominant.

      Based on VAM, AVV historically puts out between 5.0 and 5.3W/kg for 30 minutes at highlight-reel performance (like Petit Ballon here). However, her best so far this year is ~5.45W/kg for 25 minutes on Bordala at the Giro (matched more or less by Cavalli). For context, 5.7W/kg for 30 minutes is a fringe Top 10 TdF performance. So the difference between Ving+Pog and Lutsenko is about the same as the difference between Lutsenko and AVV. AVV might be a bit closer given that there is virtually no drafting on domestiques here.

In my opinion it was actually Niewiadoma who completely proved that she deserves a place on the podium tomorrow. ( I am a neutral if it comes to these two, so no bias before this race). I understand Ludwig is a sprightly character, it is always fun to see her interviews, but as a racer she is actually not that spectacular.

    I think all the teams knew that they would not be able to get anywhere near AVV if she was fit, which is why they didn't try to really put time into her in the early stages. Why bother killing yourself to get 30 seconds when she puts 5 minutes into you?

      @@jeffw9465 No, it is in some sense not a one time slip. The tactics of Dutch riders were often rather poor. Stupid attacks, poor collaboration, many crashes due to bad positioning. They just trust in their superiority which often realizes at the finish line and without doubt they have a lot of great athletes and Anemiek VanVleuten is outstanding among them. However, with a broader field of top riders they would lose more often and they will in the future, if they do not learn some lessons. But it is good for the sport as it allows at least some surprises, otherwise it would become boring.

      and SD Worx should maybe capitalize on Polka-dot and 2nd? I think Vollering could capture max (or at least outpace) points on the first cat 1 and then relax keeping a podium spot and not giving away polka dot.
      Unfortunately I think they will race for race leader and give away polkadot.
      That being said, if anything happens and van vleuten's legs fail, Vollering is in line for yellow.

    So women might be able to perform much longer at a high level compared to men, strictly looking at testosterone. There are of course many other factors at play.

  • @MDP1702
    @MDP1702 2 года назад +4

    It seems to me the only way to possibly stop her is to have a really strong climbing squad, let her attack and then just do a train tactic trying to keep her close, but not too close. Not close enough and it obviously doesn't matter since you'll be riding for 2nd anyway, but too close and she'll just drop bacl and come sit in the wheel and blow it up on the final climb. Essentially you want her to tire herself out while your own leader saves herself in the wheels.
    Ofcourse this is easily said and not so easily done, considering Vollering was in her wheel the whole time and still couldn't follow. But it seems the only possible tactic in the mountains against someone like AVV imo.

    I don't think tactically that AvV drove that well. However when you are as strong as her compared to the rest it doesn't matter. If other riders improve enough in the mountains and get closer to AvV's level then she could definitely lose races with this kind of tactic. But no matter what it is spectacular to see an attack from so far out.

    • @rulifaller8474
      @rulifaller8474 2 года назад +1

      She has the experience that she wins whenever she does it like this, so I would say it is tactically very smart of her not to change the winning formula.
      The essence is that her strength is that she can cope better than anyone with hard races. Her team is not great, so it is up to her to make the race hard. Which is exactly what she did. Because she is so much stringer than the teammates of the other GC riders, she essentially makes it into a woman to woman fight.

      The alternative that you would call good tactics is probably let the team control the race and then strike at the last climb. But her team is not strong enough to control, and the last climb on Saturday was quite easy so it would have been difficult to take a lot of time. So the result would definitely not have been as good as it was now. No other tactics would have seen her win 3,5 minutes to nr 3 and more than 5 minutes to the rest of the field.
      What is the right tactics is not set in stone, it depends on the parcours and the opposition. With this parcours and opposition these were the perfect tactics.
