    Giro d’Italia 2024, Stage 12: Martinsicuro – Fano, 193.0k

    Those bumps along the route can surely wear out the sprinters if ridden proper & hard. Hope is a breakaway heroes day making it to the end, because Poga might be bored by now and could decide to do some interval training on that last hill...

    Giro d'Italia Giro d’Italia 2024, Stage 6, Torre del Lago Puccini (Viareggio) – Rapolano Terme, 180km

    Is ALA up to the task or Lefevere has to greenlight it? I hope a breakaway succeeds

    Giro d'Italia Giro d‘Italia 2024, Stage 5, Genova-Lucca, 178 km

    I'm happily surprised about the last stages thrilling last 10K of racing - it appears to me the "Poga wild-racing" effect may have encouraged the spirit of break-away heroes to pursuit glory, as opposed to simply wait for the sprinters to mop them up

    Liege Bastogne Liege-7 hour monument, Sunday, April 21, 2024

    Poga is fresh and ready. MVP might be tired a bit.

    Mathieu Van der Poel

    One way to look at MVP's latest performance is by a way of comparison to what Cancellara did back in 2010 with the infamous RVV-PR double where thermonuclear attacks took place against Boonen - those were really eyebrow raising performances that brought up the "motor-aid doping" discussion...

    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    Catalunya is a Pogacar's freak show :eek: If the entire race was all MTF, he would have won all stages without breaking a sweat - He's not even using his teammates at all :mad:

    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    While I like Pogacar's approach to racing as far as being competitive in all terrains & races, emulating the ways of the GOATs i.e. Merckx, Hinault ,etc. I believe he's getting too "obvious" - the same as Vingegaard as the feud between the 2 grow, it makes racing absurd, TBH. Thank God MVP...

    Volta Ciclista a Catalunya 2024 (March 18-24)

    what a pleasant surprise to see Landissimo being a protagonist once again. He'd be good for second place.
