    Jonathan Milan is the new sprint superstar

    He could very well do that but IMO Pogačar is more of a safe bet to win 5 stages this year.

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    How did Vingegaard come back to win two consecutive tours after getting destroyed by Pogačar in 2021? It sure seemed impossible at that time.

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard: The Wizard of Visma

    I was just trying to point out that we don't really know anything because of the lack of recent updates. A lot can happen in two weeks.

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard: The Wizard of Visma

    After reading that those quotes are almost 2 weeks old. How do you know that he is still not training normally today? It sounded to me like he was only days away from normal training and that was almost 2 weeks ago. For all we know he could already be in Switzerland and training normally. His...

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard: The Wizard of Visma

    My opinion is based on similar cases that happened in the past (across multiple sports). There were cases where it took longer for athletes to come back but those are the exception. I also think his team doesn't want to put any pressure on his return. So why would they out of nowhere started...

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard: The Wizard of Visma

    There really is no comparison between the injuries sustained by the two riders. But like I was trying to say a few pages back, the recovery time should be quite comparable. As we now know it took Jonas 33 days to get back on the road bike while Tadej took 26 days to ride outside again. Jonas...

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    Pogačar on leading the race from start to finish: "Wearing a shirt from the first day to the last is something unimaginable. I can't imagine it myself, and I don't have such a plan, even if I were very, very sovereign. However, you have to think with your head, you also have to think about the...

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    I believe that after the 1st TT the fight for the 2nd place will start. Let's say O'Connor, Lutsenko, Martinez and especially Uijtdebroeks lost time to Thomas, but they feel like they are better in the mountains then him. AG2R, Bora, Astana and especially Visma will want to make the race hard...

    Davie Selke last game before the injury was on 13.7. and the first game back was on 15.9. and by February he already had 4 goals and 8 assiasts. For him that is very good.

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard: The Wizard of Visma

    I did not say that. I said that the recovery time for both is not that different. Ofcourse Jonas was in more pain and his life took a bigger hit for the first 2-3 weeks after the injury but that does not change the fact that his journey back to bike should only take 1 or 2 weeks longer than what...

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard: The Wizard of Visma

    This **** Jonas is having has almost the same recovery time as Tadej's wrist. Yet very few people on this forum acknowledge that Tadej's wrist had anything to do with him losing the TDF last year. On the other hand I'm yet to see someone say Jonas will be 100% for this years TDF. All this...

    How likely is Tadej Pogačar to win both the Giro and the Tour this season?

    I would think the bookies are smart enough to already take that into account.

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    A few things we do know, if Merckx was active today: -no way he is winning GTs with 74kg -no way he wins 12 times at Milano-Sanremo, Paris - Roubaix and Ronde van Vlaanderen combined if he was a GT rider with let's say 65kg -no way he is winning sprint stages like he did against sprint trains of...

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard: The Wizard of Visma

    It's not worse, they just never told us how bad his ribs are. I'm guessing it's a similar fracture to what Horner had and he said in his video that he was in ICU for 3-4 days and than another 3-4 days in a privat room. Based on that Jonas should be out shortly, maybe they are just being extra...

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

    As it stands right now there is no rape victim. Cian broke his contract based on some ancient Belgium law. Not even Belgium football clubs respect that law that is why they don't sign players that uses it and if a player wants to move outside of Belgium using that same law he will recive a BAN...
