    Domenico Pozzovivo appreciation thread

    I will miss him. His strange little bent up cycling style , his ability to be thereabouts for so long , though hampered in GC by a lack of TT results. He epitomises the tough enduring spirit of cycling ...a never say die man

    Teams & Riders Chris Froome Discussion Thread.

    Froome made alot of money at SKY ...millions in fact . He didn't need the ISN money and no I do not agree anyone of us would have done it. I am sure Contador or Spartacus or Boonen could have kept on cycling for a team with a big pay check and dialled it in but they didn't. They were proud of...

    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    You accuse cycling fans who believe in doping as lacking critical thinking ( in a very condescending manner btw) and yet you say "For my own part, I prefer enjoying the show, admiring the athletes, and believing that it will all come out, one way or the other. It's not naive; it's just accepting...

    And yet the countries who are best at the Olympics where success is measure per capita or adjusted using probability models are as follows.....Croatia nor Slovenia are not on these lists ? And yet we should study them ??? Which countries exceeded expectations? Use the dropdown to compare...

    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    Well I believe in human evolution in sport and outliers . I would love to believe in Pog 100% even if it is boring watching him win this year . The reason I would rather he was clean than doped is I love the sport and want it to thrive But not even I believe in the speed of human evolution we...

    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    That Guardian article , like so many Guardian pieces, is full of bulls**t For one thing it may have been written by a world renowned sports writer he clearly (like so many in sport) does not love cycling. In fact most mainstream journalists only ever distain to write about cycling when they...

    Yes but UAE riders can decline to go just as Pog did

    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    EPO effected different athletes differently, with some benefitting more from its enhancing abilities and was no taken uniformly across a team No one is suggesting that Pog is not a top cyclist . His natural abilities are brilliant The issue for me is his 2024 improvement is not credible...

    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    I don't think motor doping is being used by Pogacar . Its a bit like suggesting that Elvis is still alive and the moon landings were staged as the flag was fluttering. For one thing UCI would have no reason to be in collusion with UAE nor would they want to. I am not that cynical. And I cant see...

    Il Lombardia 2024, one day monument, October 12, farewell to Domenico Pozzovivo

    I am not watching the race as otherwise engaged Wonder who will be second ...love it to be Ben Healy but Im guessing he will attack too early as per Skujins,Tiberi , Bardet and Masnada should be up there for the battle for podium

    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    I am not saying Pog is not a terrific athlete with top drawer accelerations and power output. That is all his I just dont buy how he never seems tired , no matter what race he rides Its just not natural. And to say oh his team mates are not that far behind him in results means nought ..they...
