Sprint skill
E_Hagen
In mass sprints, the good 'puncheurs' with sprint skills in the high 60ies og low 70ies are often involved, even when there are 80+ sprinters there. Why?

Because a sprint skill counts for every sprint.

They're less tired from the efforts previously in the stage. Sadly cyanide made this effect too big. In real life, if a sprinter isn't completely dead, he usually has all or almost all his speed even after hard efforts.

And thats beacause sprinters in real life have a good resistance, and can recover faster - in the race - and gain some power for finishing.

I'm not sure that's the case. Look at Valverde in Liége. He was deader than dead. He was sliding off the back on the last climb. 100m more of climbing and he'd be fully dropped. But a short while later the sprint was on and he was beating them all easily.

When you bluff, you sit at the back and look tired. You don't let a gap appear like he did Pfft

Not like that... At that stage of the race no one would have let a gap open at all, you can loose everything by doing that Smile
