    It’s almost as if it meant a better outcome to be lead out two thirds of a climb as compared to going solo from the start.

    I’m afraid Blythe has a permanent concussion 😁

    What did he say? Edit: sorry, got it…

    1. Because they show sportsmanship 2. Because they care about publicity 3. Because Pog would do the same

    He took a turn when being side by side with Pog. I don’t think it was physically possible to avoid the crash for Pog once THJ started his turn. No braking or turning from Pog’s end could change the outcome. So it can’t be anything but 100% THJ’s fault.

    Not true. Pog’s deviation was a reaction to THJ deviation.

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

    It as valid as opinion as the one where a Belgian might take more pride in being Belgian as as Moldovan would in being Moldovan. But it’s a slippery slope when trying to run a respectful discussion…

    I think it's normal that the fans are not that happy with dominance, especially if they are supporters of the competition. However, for any pro claiming that Pog should win less, that's completely insane. Cycling is not a "gentlemen sport" because there's so many nice guys but because of its...

    Ok, but what are you expecting from them - to be speculating wildly without any form of direct proof whatsoever? They are not forum members but professionals with much higher standards regarding speculation than us here who are able to inconsequentially (bar annoying the mods) say whatever we...

    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    Pog had plenty of incredible performances under his belt before 2024. It's true that in 2024 he upped his game but claiming a two-time TdF winner (once winning with 5+ minutes) was a donkey-turned-a-racehorse is a bit ridiculous. If anything, 2023 is a negative outlier in terms of performance...

    Why would he wanna play it safe? Isn’t there a UCI conspiracy where he gets off the hook so that everyone can make money? There’s nothing to be afraid of…

    A philosophical question. Let’s assume for a second - not necessarily with Pogacar but in general - you did have a chance to witness once in a lifetime greatness. How would you recognise it since greatness = cheating by default? What would have to happen which would make you agree something is...

    Believing Hikaru is GOAT puts your Roglic preference into a different perspective😁
