race of truth in cycling, forever and ever, no matter what Gouvenou does. and not a silly remco fan, since I just put him 4th in the Big Five hierarchy. Imagine a poster here who actually sees reality. and LOL at Martin and Rodgers, did they win a GT, LBL and the Olympics double? Remco 36th...

1. Pog 2. Seixas 3. Del Toro 4. Remco 5. VDP Big Five. Rog and WVA are no longer in the stratosphere.

someone clearly still hasn't gotten over it.

maybe he had chemo. that's worked in the past.

How hard did they make it so he could go solo 70-100 kms from the finish. He clearly needs no teammates any more. And u refuse to address the fact that the one time he tried to attack the entire peloton on a steep hill he was unable to make even the slightest separation. Ended riding in...

hardly was an issue in 24 and 25. but in 22 he couldn't even drop an entire peloton on a steep hill. he is completely altered. it's ridiculous.

here he is in 2022 unable to drop the entire peloton (despite winning Montreal before and Lombardia after). He was in great shape, but he was human. And in 2021, he was dropped on a hill by Colbrelli and Remco (who was still recovering from Lombardia crash and not his best) so wtf happened...

well only because we thought we would only have to deal with 2023 Pog who was excellent, but human. little did we know.

I disagree. I think he was bluffing by trying to take command. He knew full well he would have difficulty following and anyone who is climbing with better climbers knows full well that you start at the front to give you a shot at drifting back. He was third best. And that's a simple fact.

Roubaix next year with time to prep and get "used to" those cobbles (very different from today). He needs to not have any bad crashes. Already, Catalunya, he crashed in kind of a freak accident. I have no problem with him doing P-R, but next year. He needs to focus on staying healthy for one...

Really it’s his word against Lefevre’s. Who in their right mind would believe Lefevre? Lol. Besides, we are really not looking at many possibilities: 2019 barely 19 no way 2020 COVID and his first monument was Lombardia when he almost died 2021 couldn’t ride as he was still rehabilitating...

Indeed. And I think people are too fixated on whether he can hang on to Pog and MVDP in the latter stages. He cannot. The question is whether he attacks on the flat between the climbs and earlier. Who the chases? A moment of hesitation and he could be gone. That’s where he is the joker in...

Apparently Almeida cannot climb and should not be considered a GT rider. I disagree withe above, btw. I just think it shows some of the double standards here.

The amount of articles that are coming out now with attempted explanations for the huge jump he has made is really Armstrong-esque.

lol. So did Rog in 2024 TDF. And that was a freakin’ mountain stage. So made NO SENSE.
