The escapes. And there was a lot of them
The breakaway has a nice advantage, so Joachim attacks

But that isn't going to happen and Joachim wins
At least we won the pack sprint

Nice win but it was really a shame you couldnt build a gap between them and Gerdemann
At least you got the bonification which is fairly reasonable

I know. It's annoying when that happens. Some time you have a good advantage and you gain no time (Gerdemann today) or you have a normal advantage and still win some seconds (Joachim also in Pologne) |
