MVDP doing too much it feels like ATM. WVA just covering. Philipsen needs to go somehow as WVA shouldn't be able to cover both.

Was gonna say MVDP burning all his matches here, WVA looks cool.

I suppose Philipsen should be favourite for a sprint so if MVDP is racing to get away and others have to chase, that should help even more for a sprint.

MVDP just tried to go again, also hit a motor. WVA just covering still. I wonder if he does one big attack on Carrefour or waits for the sprint.

Isn't MvdP a better sprinter than WVA anyway?

Or is that too simplistic a view in a race like this?

No, they have different strengths. MVDP better with acceleration from slow speed, WVA better on a longer sprints or from high speed. I wouldn't want to call it.

WVA won E3 in a sprint as the weakest of the three riders that were in the sprint (MVDP and Pogacar).

Philipsen luckily held off having his flat until the cars had been allowed into the gap!

Yep, that could have been a disaster earlier, especially with the effort MVDP has put in already.
