Can anyone help me understand wtf happened at the end of this year's Amstel Gold.
We have Kasia and Elisa both ahead of everyone else, if they work together, they can go head to head for a sprint finish, and worst case one of them is 2nd and the other wins. Kasia asks Elisa to help, Elisa says she helps noone. The result is they come 9th and 10th.
Have I misunderstood something? Or is Elisa just an idiot? Is there some long game I'm missing? Has she basically put her self in a position where noone will want to play with her in breakaways as she has a reputation for not doing her bit?
What have I missed?
