But see the difficulties the riders will make for each other.
Two riders did not make it, reducing the field to 136 of the 180 who started on July 3.
Rider made just 4-of-17 3-pointers and was never really in it after Wall took over midway through the first half.
When the rider made no offer of assistance, he tried again, more desperately.

Many a rider has made the error of moving too early when chasing such speed.
Riders just can't make the difference anymore unless conditions are tricky.

For the first time since 1994, no Belgian rider made it to the final podium.
The riders on the horses made as if to bombard them.
