Maar de quicksteppers probeerden wél vooraf elk apart weg te geraken, maar /Stannard haalde hen elke keer terug.Patrick VB schreef: ↑02 apr 2025 21:26 Ik vreesde onderweg al voor het QS/Stannard scenario.
Jammer genoeg voor Van Aert werd de vrees werkelijkheid.
Tom Boonen zou toen ook ook nooit de sprint verliezen.

Als nationaliteit dé reden was om te kiezen zijn ze nog stommer dan ik dacht.
De grap is natuurlijk dat het ook niet helemaal een grap is. In deze situatie moet je altijd om de beurt demarreren. De kans dat Powless op het wiel van Aert gaat rijden is vrij groot. Daarmee is de kans dat Wout wint kleiner dan 1/3.
said Demi Vollering (FDJ - SUEZ)"Yep, I was also laughing a bit when I first heard and then saw that Visma lost while being in the break with three… But after watching it back once more and hearing Wout’s interview, I changed my mind.
We should not forget that we are all human. We love a bit of drama. We love underdog stories. Wout is human as well. This guy has been through a lot! And everyone has had their opinion about him. We all judge too early, especially too easily. We are tempted to forget everything he has been through, and we probably don’t even know half of it because we cannot look inside his head or understand what it does to him mentally.
Hearing him say that he was egoistic and that it is not who he is was painful for me, because we forget so easily what stress, doubt, and all the mess thrown at him actually do to him.
For me, it is completely understandable that he lost himself a bit.
When people have so much to say about you, it is easy to start feeling lost. And it is probably something you do not even notice. It creeps in very quietly.
You train a bit harder, focus a bit more, and before you know it, you are lost in your rituals, running on autopilot, trying to prove everyone wrong, trying to get just a bit closer to your dreams.
And before you know it, you make the wrong decisions and you cramp up. Maybe it was not the body. Maybe it was the mind that got too excited. But you did not stay true to yourself, so this win was not meant to be.
It is a lesson. A wake up call for Visma and Wout, but not just for them. It is a lesson and a wake up call for all of us.
He is human. We are all human. I think I have been in his situation. You think you are making the right decisions, but under too much pressure, under too much focus, you cannot see it anymore.
And we will never realize it in that very moment…"
Dat was maar om al diegenen die vinden dat Wout niets te zien heeft in een Nederlandse ploeg ook de andere kant te laten zien.daniel1975 schreef: ↑03 apr 2025 00:08Als nationaliteit dé reden was om te kiezen zijn ze nog stommer dan ik dacht.
