EthanHOST
Obviously, Simmons is an absolute beast and shown it numerous times over the course of his career.
EthanHOST
And then Jorgensen, I think maybe he is the one I least expected to perform like that in a way because his season has been Obviously, he had that Amstel Gold Race crash, didn't he, which was a pretty horrific one.
EthanHOST
Broke his collarbone.
EthanHOST
That messes him up.
Mark O'BrienHOST
Not that I know her personally, but in terms of how great her season's been and then her being the best in the world at the moment, getting it done.
Matilda ReynoldsHOST
Yeah, it almost had that Matthew Vanderpool, Amstel Gold feel to it, where Lamborghini was coming from behind, Russo was behind that again, like it was all going to come together.
Matilda ReynoldsHOST
But yeah, I feel for Lamborghini.
Matilda ReynoldsHOST
This was probably the one that she, you know, for both the men's and women's, a lot of these riders, this was their last shot.
Kate CourtneyGUEST
It's going to be exciting.
Ben EdwardsHOST
So when you think about the course itself, you know, a little bit like a spring classic, maybe like an Amstel Gold or Liège with, you know, the repeated times up that climb.
Ben EdwardsHOST
Do you have any thoughts on how it's going to play out? You know, is it is it a solo move? Is it a very small group? What do you think?
Kate CourtneyGUEST
I think it's going to be a war of attrition.
Arne PetersHOST
Almost none, at, at least.
Arne PetersHOST
Only in the, in the very, like, the, the Amstel Gold Race, uh, part of the Netherlands.
Arne PetersHOST
Um, but, you know, the wind is, uh, is where we race.
Arne PetersHOST
And if you, um, from, from an earlier age, if you get through the, the, the ranks in cycling as a Dutch guy, you have experienced the wind, and you, you, you should have some success as well, right? As well.
Lee TurnerHOST
Nah, Quint Bogan.
Mark O'BrienHOST
So dream scenario is return of the 2019 Amstel Gold Race where those three I mentioned-
Matilda ReynoldsHOST
Oh, yeah
Mark O'BrienHOST
... are out the front, and Van der Poel comes home back and launches over the top and takes the win, gets to wear the rainbow again for another year.
ScottHOST
He's Liège-Bastogne-Liège champion twice.
ScottHOST
He finished second in Amstel Gold last year, winning it this year in a sprint.
ScottHOST
So, yeah, he's got a good kick on him.
ScottHOST
There's times I've seen him come to the line with someone.
Michael MatthewsGUEST
And I needed to be pulling on the front in the big races for these other guys that were the leaders on the day in the big races to be able to get the endurance and the know-how of the races to be able to be the leader myself.
Michael MatthewsGUEST
I couldn't just rock up to Amstel Gold, for example, and say, okay, I'm leader.
Michael MatthewsGUEST
They were like, no, you're not Dutch.
Michael MatthewsGUEST
You're not Dutch and you're not riding Amstel.
