    “I didn’t have anything to lose, so I was just excited to see what happened.” Entering the penultimate stage of the 2025 Vuelta a Espana, Matthew Riccitello was 58 seconds behind the white jersey and in the top five for the general classification (GC). Against the backdrop of Jonas Vingegaard...

    Teams & Riders The Remco Evenepoel is the next Eddy Merckx thread

    The Remco/Roglic issue is a media point, but it seems to keep people entertained. For the clinic it’s a given that discussion would end up on the G/P thread. Where else?

    Likely not. My suggestion was that his presence and any inferred influence is more significant than that of Israeli riders, but combined with them can be a flashpoint. I could edit that post and delete this one, and/or provide a link and sources, but there’s no need to engage the mods other...

    The riders are less the issue than the potential that Adams’ involvement will bring protests.

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 4 (Post-Settlement)

    More than this and to StSt’s resummation, Armstrong’s definitive, salient and most contentious period ended in 2005. But maybe his motor just wasn’t working later on Verbier even if all the staff and teammates were properly vetted by then.

    What beer ya drinkin'?

    There are some exceptions on the glass/bottle can distinction, like Heady Topper https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/46317/16814/ Pilsner in a can after exertion in the heat also seems more direct.

    This isn’t strictly true. You can drop someone on tempo by holding and bringing it up. At which point burst/explosivity is on top of that. But, say, Basso’s Zoncolan does it mostly on tempo. Maybe that applies less now; distances, etc.

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    You rarely get into this level; it’s a nice change. Within cycling and its returned diversification this may be a debatable perception (unless Jonas finds a rhythm for one days), but most of that intensity and focus is still built off the Tour in this century

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

    This is true and legality is demonstrably not a measure of maturity. Some of the language in recent posts may have been snide and sarcastic, but wasn’t Netserk’s original post (however debatable the latter one about maturity and military command) a confirmation of some psychological testing on...

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    Not to defend them or these premises, if they send Almeida to the Giro and Jonas goes, they can tire him before the Tour. If he doesn’t, they can hit all three GTs “earnestly” anyway. Which is basically what Pogacar said in terms of doing all three relative to team considerations.
