Jungels does it again
Following Zdeněk Štybar’s win at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, the Luxembourg pro sealed a perfect weekend for the Belgian team of Deceuninck – Quick-Step. Last year, Quick-Step already had an impressive 13 wins at this time of the season, in 2019, however, they have already bagged 16.

Similarly to his winning attack at last year’s Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Bob Jungels attacked with roughly 18 km to go. With many Deceuninck – Quick-Step riders in the chasing group, the real poursuivants stood no chance. In the end, Owain Doull managed to take second place, while Niki Terpstra claimed third.

The ministry?
With the Uci dishing out point deductions now for late sign on, throwing bidons & whatnot it felt like being in Harry Potter & hearing “12 points from Gryffindor”
Can we deduct points from the Uci house? & if they were a Harry Potter house, which house would they be?
