Ganna was pretty disappointing to me in Flanders.
Getting dropped by Benoot and Kung is not a good sign for Roubaix...

(And how was positioning a problem if he anticipated)
Thats why l wrote normal human being!
And how did he do as well in E3 then? He got dropped because of fatigue, which isn't a good sign for another monument
He did well bc he has an insane engine/ftp but these short efforts are no good for him/Tarling. But next sunday I kinda excpect at least a podium
Ganna did not want to do Flanders... he asked to do GW but Ineos wanted him here
MVDP is the strong favourite.
Ganna, Mads, WVA, Pog, Kung are 2nd tier and could be any order.
Also Ganna did follow MvdP on a short climb in E3
We will see on Sunday but I think Ineos will be a team to watch and expect Tarling to make the long move and Ganna to back himself to follow on the flat.
He was just not good enough + anticipating meant more constant effort and he just got cooked when he fatigue really set in
But you would think he would not get dropped by "Benoot", "Stuyven" and "Kung" if he is supposed to contend for Roubaix win
But you can’t compare Flanders and Roubaix. Different races. Benoot is never dropping him on flat.
This is a big big monument and he clearly was motivated given that he anticipated.
Kristoff never liked the high speed rough cobbles of Roubaix in comparision
In Theory with a good hard race Ganna should thrive in Roubaix
