In the closing kilometers, there was a group of three riders in the lead: two from Quickstep and one from Saeco. It seemed like a simple 2-on-1 situation.
The obvious thing to do in that situation is repeatedly attack the odd man out.
Why weren’t the two Quickstep riders attacking at all? Were they that confident one of them would win in the sprint?
