Kern Pharma going nuclear with no shame, nice. Excellent name.

That last 500m was torture to watch. Everytime he looked back (which was about 15 times) he lost another second due to riding style. Congrats for the win!

Sinner missing the olympics seemed sketchy to me. I'm aware that he's supposed to have had a whole lot of injuries and rehab. But also, he's been ranked #1 for a while so it seemed like quite a coincidence to happen to miss such major event.

Right, thanks. Looking at those GT dates from Merckx era and Indurain era, they are too close to each other for any meaningful hypothesis of winning all three, especially with Tour being third.

I feel like the game has changed fundamentally. In the long history of a doped- up sport, there's still been some boundaries. There are reasons why nobody has won all the grand tours in the same calendar year. But based on everything we've seen this year, if Pog wants to win Vuelta then he will...

Pog had a hard stage. You could feel how tough it was to ride as slowly as he "had to" in order to not make more enemies. Most of his energy was spent having to control the slow pace and avoid accelerating. Must have been nice to have 10 seconds of actual riding at the end.

Yes, the 90s are back! Oh wait, you meant 90 seconds :oops:

If this actually works then it's a huge thing in the Paris olympics and there's no way to keep it in some constrained circles of "richest cycling teams" and it's going to be very well known across the field. But I don't know, it all sounds maybe a bit too "easy" to explain this TdF. The entire...

This isn't about Almeida or some other specific circumstance, it's just facts about past 35 years of cycling. You can dismiss Almeida and take the difference between #1 and #5 for all I care, point still stands. The gaps are huge between top3 and the rest. Look at something like this to see an...

The gap between #1 and #4 is now at 12min 57secs. After this weeks mutant championships are over, that's going to be at 18+ minutes, possibly over 20 mins. I went through wikipedia for all tours from 1990 onwards and this actually never happened at this scale in the "modern times" or since EPO...

Carapaz joins a list of cyclists with stage win at all grand tours and olympic gold medal. Mind you, I don't know how long that list is...

Porridge, pancakes, omelettes, bread... man, we're bound the see some very healthy tourists around the world as this hotel breakfast selection makes you strong for the day!

Two options for week 3 friday-sunday, after rest day and some warm-up stages: 1) Pog in full control with some stage wins if he's too bored 2) it's going to get NUCLEAR if Visma & Quick-step have not given up :D

I just can't wrap my mind around the concept where two-time Tour winner Pog has full access to juice that's better than no-limits EPO yet he still went without winning any GTs for almost three calendar years (tour 2021 to Giro 2024). How? Sure, Vingo beat him twice in the Alien vs Predator duel...

At this point there's no turning back and we need to see this circus all the way through with Pog winning la Vuelta
