So still nothing on the thread subject. If what he "intends" for the future determines what he will do how come he lost badly in Paris when he "intended" to win?
The point is winning in a global championship while front running, which again, is very rare. Jakob’s goal is to win like this because of how rare it is. Not sure what you are arguing here.
Agreed. But he said different things whether you blame it on his English or not. He said it isn’t tried (it has been in every global champs since 2016) and hasn’t been done successfully (it was in 2019). Which is why Tim tweeted it.
He doesn't take much stock in Tim's win, which is understandable. He beat a weak field that is magnitudes lower than the competition in the fields from 2021 onwards. It might be unfair and you/the twitter poster might be bothered but that's just the way it is.
Also, Centro's win is not at all what Jakob is talking about. Centro won in a manner that purely hinged on the fact that the field let him slow it down to marathon pace. Centrowitz’s “tactics” weren’t complex or clever. What made him win was more about the collective failure of others to respond to his absurdly slow pace. There is a lot of doubt as to whether he would have won were it run any other way. On the other hand, Jakob wants to win leaving no doubt that he is the best. That means outrunning the field until they cannot keep up. There is nothing the field could do about it just like Tim showed in 2019. But unlike Tim, Jakob has multiple 3:27 guys sniffing his neck. It would be the ultimate victory were he to pull it off, atleast to himself.
