    Never seen riders talk about merckx with others riders tho ive not been in cycling where that has happen seriously before thats all. Same as me too I agree with everything there. I too think Merckx is goat. Its all good.

    He is indeed. If your mature your gonne be my favorite user to post here too I hope you can I would pay you too almost haha. Yes he is the goat we agree, pog is far from greater than Merckx in my opinion too.

    Teams & Riders Cian Uijtdebroeks - From the wetlands to the top of cycling

    Giro d'Italia Giro d‘Italia 2024, Stage 4 Acqui Terme-Andora, 190 km

    True but feelt this was another low even for him in that regard. Seems more and more like Lefevre did the right thing. Accountability isnt the worst thing in the world after all.

    Finish look tiny and complicated as people pointed out, I hope it stays dry in the end. Whats going on with Jakobsen..

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

    Also think ppl are overestimating Pogs chances in the Tour a little. For me the Giro-Tour double is more than X's and O's, its more than that and harder and just like inflation more sticky than the data shows, same here. Seen it time and time again before.

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

    I think ppl are underestimating Roglic this year and he might very well be stronger than he has in years. The TT in Itzulia was like prime Roglic or atleast incredible good. Think he lost closer to 20sec than 15 on that missturn too. having to break down and start from scratch etc

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    Strade for me was another level of display and Catalonya was also a epic showcase of strenght imo. But ofc hard to say with certainty indeed for me so clearly may be something which remains to be seen yet. But what riders say about him this year tells alot and i believed they have said it...

    Teams & Riders Cian Uijtdebroeks - From the wetlands to the top of cycling

    Cian is more proven indeed but I have this gut feeling Del Toro ceiling is higher(i fcourse cant know this at all) but ofcoures hes unproven in GT perspective so if this was a stock the risk would be higher than in Cian indeed. Nevertheless their both so young and many other factors can change...

    Giro d'Italia Giro d‘Italia 2024 Stage 3, Novara-Fossano, 166 km

    Cheers for that. Indeed if emotional invested into it if thats the case most of the times whatever sport it is dumb reason to not like athletes, personally for me I hate that cause its glass half empty kinda view. For instance ppl hate Ronaldo cause they like Messi and think hes the best which...
