Has anyone seen any interview or quotes from him post-race? I'm really interested to hear.
I as well.
I don't get the hate either.
Dude obviously had a crap race, well below his potential.
I had hoped for a repeat of last year, only with Sanders having more in the tank when Lange caught him and the 2 racing down to the finish. Instead we saw someone get pulled by a teammate all day and then run off the front by himself for 2 hrs.
As impressive/incredible an exhibition as Danielas race was, it was boring as well. No fireworks, no big battle of wills, just her being a machine and running everyone else into the ground.
Watching Lange get led out for passes and getting pulled all morning by Drietz was just depressing. Sure, it was legal, I guess, but how one can celebrate that and revel in the downfall of a guy like Sanders who does the exact opposite just mystifies me.
End point of my ramblings: why celebrate someone imploding when that implosion only means we get a less exciting race to watch?
