This happens all the time. Julian Alaphilippe basically did that in one of the classics and at Amstel Gold, the rider he tricked the last time around (J. Fuglsang) didn't give in and neither won (although Fuglsang got 3rd). Cycling is filled with ways to get others to work more than others.
- davidw 7y agoAmstel Gold was pretty amazing, but unless you heard differently, that was just tactics rather than any kind of 'deal'. Fuglsang played that one right - to win you have to risk losing.
- data_spy 7y agoYeah, it's tactics but in the same vein where he says his legs are 'fu&ked' and wants someone else to pull more and then outsprints them in the end. This is a quote from Fuglsang: “From when he attacked, I was still the one who was putting in the most effort because he always said that he was fucked. But he did the same at Strade Bianche, and there he still got me, so that's the game – that's the tactic."
