Almeida and Hirschi really can‘t even mark attacks.

They need a seminar with Vermeersch

 

[skippo12]

Because Pogacar is way better than them. I don't know how people don't understand this. It is like Manchester City against Coventry

What is the equivalent of parking the bus? Wheel sucking? Where is Roglic when you need him...

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Yeah with Remco and roglic that attack probably doesn't fly. Or at least the two would currently chase like madmen.

Remco chasing like a madman. Roglic first spectator 30cm back.

 

[Gigs_98]

"Group 2 dynamics" is way too frequent of a phenomenon to put down to "they are all stupid". I'm not too shocked about this part. What I don't understand is why teams didn't even bother trying disrupting UAEs race before La Redoute. In the cobbles classics that didn't work either, but people at least tried to anticipate MvdP's move.

 

[ppanther92]

Also doesn't look too bad for the 4 chasers.

Luke Rowe : No face pulling is saving energy ....Nairoman must save 100s of watts

 

[noob]

Low key wondering if Almeida still isn't back from his covid infection this winter.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Did the graphics just claim that Pogacar won two stages in the 2019... Giro?

He's the GOAT, you know, so he can win races without even riding.

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

If Roglic and Remco were here, it’s be group of 3 with Roglic sagely saving his legs as much as possible to drop the hammer on the youngsters.

Thank God he's 34yo and is close to retire

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The graphics saying Pog is 34 years old, crazy it feels like only yesterday he was winning white jerseys for fun

Kids these days grow up so fast.

 

[Red Rick]

If Roglic and Remco were here, it’s be group of 3 with Roglic sagely saving his legs as much as possible to drop the hammer on the youngsters.

The Roglic thing would be to follow Pogacar on Redoute, get dropped on Roche aux Faucons, get caught by G2, get dropped by G2, then come back and spoil the sprint for 2nd

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Finally Pog gets the rain boost, he really needed that.

 

[noob]

Didn't the noob ask if the rain would come back

 

[AmRacer]

St...upid weather

 

[iBanesto]

It's raining!

 

[Didinho]

Still a race for podium. But these 4 are working really well now.

 

[Savant12]

Bahrain in the Bah-Rain!

 

[Leinster]

And now it’s starting to rain…

 

[Froome]

Yeah with Remco and roglic that attack probably doesn't fly. Or at least the two would currently chase like madmen.

This is like beating "farmers", but nothing against Pogacar, because the same happened last year when Remco won, and the same happened in the classics Van der poel won, or when Vingegaard races alone. They all win easily. It's a shame we can't see them together.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Any of the 14 Bahrain riders want to chase or just gonna let Laurens De Plus do it

 

[Sciatic]

"Group 2 dynamics" is way too frequent of a phenomenon to put down to "they are all stupid". I'm not too shocked about this part. What I don't understand is why teams didn't even bother trying disrupting UAEs race before La Redoute. In the cobbles classics that didn't work either, but people at least tried to anticipate MvdP's move.

At least we have this group of 4 at least seemingly working together. They won’t win but it still feels like racing.

 

[ppanther92]

Will MvdP get dropped on Roche-aux-Faucons again? Or no, without Pogi attack? If not, night still have a chance at 2nd, although as others have stated - group 2 working well.

 

[Danskebjerge]

I’m not sure Pidcock’s shoe cover strategy was the right one.

 

[RedheadDane]

Thank God he's 34yo and is close to retire

I didn't even notice that...
I did, however, find it a bit odd that graphics during LBL would focus that much on a rider's results in FW.
