    I'm not paying for access to that paper, but the first part is just more of the same "it's too early to tell"

    Teams & Riders Everybody needs a little bit of Roglstomp in their lives

    I agree that this is the best we have to go on, when the direct comparisons are so relatively small. I have seen Roglic go to races and do battle with Yeats and Thomas and the like. Pog and Jonas barely think of them as competition when 100%. Here I'm of course only including the most recent years.

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard: The Butterfly Effect

    One more stage win is not exactly dead and gone. UAE often get criticized for bad tactics and other mistakes, but they make up for it with money and raw rider talent. My opinion is that it's more or less the same with Pogacar. For all his fantastic attributes, any particular race intelligence...

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard: The Butterfly Effect

    Well that "A week of peddling" was after his spring season, it was his last race. So would be resting up anyway one would think. He said he blew his stomach up with too many calories, why not believe him? I think it's very possible that he/the team made mistakes, it wouldn't be the first time...

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard: The Butterfly Effect

    What? Who? Jonas? Think he was in the ICU/hospital 12days. Pogacar was in and out same day as far as I know, got some kind of surgery and a brace on.

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    I get that saying the number "80km" makes it seem unlikely, but with the aid of just a little hindsight, it was not that far fetched. Him saying he would do it, even if it was a little in jest to start with The way the race is planned, with just more of the same added compared to last time. The...

    Because they put the 30 extra km in? Other than that it was copy/past of last time he won.

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    Could the plan have changed after the crash at itzulia? He seems a little undercooked compared to what I was expecting. I don't see him really soft-pedaling, too much spitting, laborer facial expressions. Maybe I'm underestimating the competition.

    Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2024 Stage 2: San Francesco al Campo – Santuario di Oropa (Biella), 161.0 km

    Is Pog coming in very under cooked? Or just taking it easy

    2024 Giro d'Italia, Stage 1: Venaria Reale - Torino, 140 km (Saturday, May 4)

    Well not much we agree on here. Just checking to see if I misunderstood.

    Why Novak last? He didn't look good? (Didn't see the beginning, so might have worked a lot beforehand)

    2024 Giro d'Italia, Stage 1: Venaria Reale - Torino, 140 km (Saturday, May 4)

    So he gave it away in the end?

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard: The Butterfly Effect

    Well that depends on what you define as "on the bike" taking in to account the natural break pogi was going to take after the spring, I would guess, if we include the indoor trainer, he had practically no real break from keeping his body going. Not sure Jonas is anywhere near this. He has to...
