I doubt anyone but van Aert could have stayed with MVDP for that long on that surface, and maybe not even he, but if VLB had been able to field a stronger team, they might have softened him up sufficiently that he couldn't get away quite as fast and early. Anyway, it was a magnificent ride.
My concern with Rex was that he sustained a significant concussion in the first crash.
