When, as a 24-year-old comes with apologies to Flanders Around and in his debut completing his hjælperrolle for ug wheeled and snake – and then running the pieces together and become the number two. Yes, then you have delivered something most unexpected. Something wild. Nothing spectacular.
Why was Ekstra cykelekspert, Michael Rasmussen, more than impressed by Kasper Asgreen, on Sunday did just that.
– It was crazy, as he just was on and on and on.
– It is definitely Danish cykelpræstation until now. Especially if one takes the whole of his intended role and the way he comes into the race on, considering, says Michael Rasmussen and assess thus the performance of Jacob Fuglsangs overall victory in the Ruta del Sol and the world championships in Tirreno-Adriatico and Magnus Corts the world championships in Paris-Nice
The Danish Deceuninck-QuickStep-rider rescued is actually the day for the belgian crew, who had favorites in droves, but in addition to Asgreens podium finish is not got the other riders in the top 15.
It was no secret that he had a great engine, but everything else being equal, one must surmise, that they are up to the race had assessed which of their riders should be in it for them most important cycling race in the calendar. And now the saves he is completely at their ass, notes, ’the Chicken’.
He notes, by the way, Asgreen drove his second place finish.
– He drove it from the front and sat on several occasions and drove the field in pieces.
– But it was perhaps the best way for him, for I do not think that he had made the result, if he had run as a captain.
– In the other team’s optics were Asgreen also over the moon. It will say that they had an expectation that when they came in on the cobbles, so he had to sit in the front and lead.
– But then it turns out that he just runs completely exceptional.
– But it was also clear to see that he had nothing to lose – he’s looking only forward and not back, says Michael Rasmussen.
Kasper Asgreen don’t know yet if he’s on the Sunday to race Paris-Roubaix, but he should not be nervous on the night, ” assesses Michael Rasmussen, who, however, calls for calm around Asgreens chances there.
Last year, the Danish media also spoken Mads Pedersen up to be the favourite after his second place in Flanders. But there, you have to just hold the horse a little.
– of Course he should be on their team, but we should not be talking him up to be the favorite. There is a reason just to breathe, he points out.
