    Tour de France Tour de France 2023, stage 17: Saint-Gervais Mont Blanc - Courchevel, 165.7k

    Jumbo is riding the tour super aggressive and are a strong team. In every second stage commentators and the forum is like "why dont they let the break go", "ive never seen this ***", "what am i watching". The harder the tour the more stretched out the classement will be. It think thats the...

    Jumbo tries to kill Pogocar for next year, too. But on a seroious note, they obviously ride for Kuss Top5

    Tour de France Tour de France 2023, stage 16: Passy - Combloux, 22.4k (ITT)

    I think the next area for marginal gains will an automatic release for the bikes on the car. Riders has a mechanical and the driver will just release the bike which will roll right over the hood in the hands of the rider. The car grill will open up and we see an aircraft turbine immediately...

    Voigts reasoning for not having a bike change was also gold. Since a bike chance needs about 20 seconds and we expect only small difference in the end, there will be no time for a change.

    It think you are correct about the doubts over the assertions, but there is some wishful thinking involved on Jumbos side. If Jonas isnt better in really hard races than Pog, then he cant win, since Pog will be better in every other aspect. So riding hard is the most plausible way to gain an...

    That does not make it hate. Words have a meaning and it does make sense not to dilute this meaning. Also this is not a podium discussion, so its problably good to let some things slip even if they does not make sense. (not following my own advise here :innocent:)

    Giro d'Italia 2023 Giro d'Italia, Stage 19: Longarone – Tre Cime di Lavaredo 183 km (Friday, May 26th)

    Probably wearing the mask in the car and in the heat of the moment forgot to take it off for the 5 guys on the internet feeling attacked by people wearing masks

    Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2023 Stage 8: Terni – Fossombrone 207 km

    They have 50km to look at Healy now, maybe for that reason the early attack was not the smartest move.

    Vuelta a España 2022 Vuelta a España stage 6(Bilbao > Ascensión al Pico Jano. San Miguel de Aguayo),181,2 km - Mountain

    Today makes the race really interesting. Ineos and Bora still have multiple leaders that are kinda close. They can plan multiple raids, Roglic will attack, Ayuso and Vine will have good legs again. This will be a great Vuelta
