Almost rain, and in the old man, and dear, Quaremont accelerates to put a telegram to Tadej Pogacar, who in Monaco does not lose detail: “From Mathieu to Tadej, on Sunday 6 here I wait for you, dear”Then look back. He checks that the madman Mads Pedersen, also iristed mouth since he won the 2019 World Cup, can no longer. Confirms that the race is won, and not It was very long if not, ”says Van der Poel, that he gets, under cold rainfall sparks, flamenco, with 1m 5s on Pedersen and 2m 4s on Filippo Ganna, the Italian who assured after the San Remo that he had lost 10 years enduring the wheel of Van der Poel and Pogacar in the Cipressa and the Poggio, and that in Belgium succumbed in the attempt, although he suffered less. “My weight is excessive to raise these foresters of cobblestones with these corridors,” says Ganna, a giant of almost two meters and more than 80 kilos, unbeatable in the counterrelojes and in the plain, more fragile with steep climb. “
To get rid of Stuyven and Van Aert, this time he waited three more kilometers to get rid of Pedersen, who, in the absence of Pogacar, resting with his head on the week Flandes-Roubaix, assumed the role of a rival. It was Pedersen, bold, and such a powerful start, and so happy splashing in the rain, the one who broke the race. An attack 80 kilometers from the arrival, in the Paterberg that only resisted van der poel, easy, and ganna, blowing. They reached the three of some escaped. Van der Poel left Pedersen to exhibit his desire in the Paterberg with a limited attack and three kilometers further, in the old Kwaremont, he finished off. “I am happy, really happy,” Pedersen rejoice in the goal. “I had good legs and, obviously, this, second, was the best result I could get. Okyy is that a monster wins.”
The monster waited for the long old Kwaremont, three kilometers further. And its sudden acceleration, dynamite, well settled in the armchair of its Canyon to prevent the rear wheel, which traction power in the buttocks, in the great muscles of their legs, had more of demonstration to Pogacar than of need to end Pedersen and with Ganna, which he already tried to continue. Two years ago, in his second duel in the Flanders Tour, it was Pogacar who attacked in the old Kwaremont, the longest mountain of the repertoire of Flanders – 2,200 meters long and 92 meters of unevenness. The average slope is 4%, but in the middle of the climb the slope is multiplied by three to 11.6% and that is where the rope is always broken between the first that accelerates and the second that tries to resist-, the one that best goes for its characteristics, more climber than powerful, to the Slovenian. And then it was Van der Poel who gave. The place where myths are born and humans die. The great appointment for the combat of the bosses, Sunday, April 6, the rematch of San Remo.
