One random observation, i am enjoying watching GVA over the last two seasons. He used to rub me the wrong way but since the olympics he has become a dynamic cyclist who has not been afraid to take chances. DDV was a great example, he knew the chase was going nowhere but he continued to pull and kept attacking, i like the style.He's been doing that for years, to wit: 2014 RvV, took a flyer with 30 km out, with Stijn VDB in tow. SVDB pulled only on the downhill, and half-hearted at that, but GvA just kept on going. Of course, FC took the win there, but this has been his style for a long time.
If anything, he sat in more than his fair share in quite a few races he won, including the two Omloop victories and the Olympic finale, where Fuglsang pulled quite a bit more but was content with 2nd place.
