    Teams & Riders Julian Alaphilippe Discussion Thread

    A good performance today. Unfortunately, he didn't get the stage win. He's getting better. I'm optimistic he can get the stage win this giro to complete the treble.

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

    Unfortunately Ala was robbed of the stage win. But as the giro is just training for the inevitable Olympics-Wcrr double (the real double), we can all be happy for him. Getting better, stronger and wilder-one day at a time.

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

    I'm in Vancouver and the stages are over when I get out of bed. The giro isn't over yet. I'll be home to the greatest country in the world on Tuesday. How over will the giro be then, or will Thomas have a fragile lead?

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

    It is, but mostly I'm hoping most ppl will just say what the ***. I'm a maths professor by day and I come on the forum to get away from it all. The tour: Remco has a chance Rog has a chance Vingo has a chance Pog has a chance It's exciting, let's not make it boring.

    Roglic will not win the tour until he learns how to state and prove the Hahn-Banach theorem.

    Who is the best descender (modern time) ?

    He was much more legendary than he'll ever get the credit for and your head should bow in deference when you speak his name.

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

    Stage hunter Ben O'Connor is dropped. A possibly spicy finish. Not too bad but I hope for more action later.

    I feel like we're going around in roundabouts here. Will Pog try another show-off "non-attack" today?

    I still fancy Piccolo's chances. G2 dynamics and all that.

    Did he fracture his hand in the crash or from punching his bike?
