Well, except Wout celebrated thinking he'd won. A mistake Mads would never make.

The funeral has begun. Who is on at Max?

Liniger is the worst commentator In existence. He is a pestilence on any race/sporting event he covers. The best moment of PostNord Danmark Rundt this year was when there was an issue with commentator sound and you could just hear ambient sound. I feel for Alex R in the commentator room being...

The question in the poll is about who is the better overall classics rider, and Pogacar is the answer here, because he is the only current rider capable of winning all five monuments. If the question had been framed differently, i.e. as the best spring classics rider, I would consider MvdP the...

Indeed. I was actually a little bit disappointed that Geraint didn't have something more personal to say when asked to give a few words/advice to Jakob the other day, as they are in a very similar situation. I guess Geraint is probably just trying to survive the Tour at this point, judging from...

I agree principally, but in my opinion it is not Jakob's responsibility as a guest commentator/expert to structure the commentating. Ritter has that job, and I agree, he was not at his best today. FWIW, I don't think MAX is always better in this regard. Having Bay/Holm venture into random...

I very much enjoyed Jakob's commentary as well, even if he is not exactly the most talkative person compared to Bak and co. I also appreciated his inside stories about fellow riders, his actual knowledge about top cyling in its current state and his analysis pre- and post-stage, which I thought...

Enric once again heartbraking :disappointed:

A select few riders stand out significantly for me. These are the riders whose performances and personas I have looked especially up to. Fabian Cancellara - Easily nr. 1 on my list. His performances in time trials and classics in the late 2000s were what dragged me fully into cycling, as the...

Remember back in 2004 when Mayo was ready to climb off but not allowed by his DS. Cycling has grown soft! ;)

The obvious difference being Jan's self-sabotage in the off season and the fact that he was probably the most naturally gifted cyclist of his time (neither of which really seems to be the case for Jonas)

Remco appearing in the horizon but probably not enough road to catch him.

Maybe the intention is to set a blistering 1st split time to give a mental boost

Top 10 according to Chatgpt Pos Rider Predicted Time Notes 1️⃣ Tadej Pogačar 24′ 30″ Coming off a crushing Hautacam win—and sub‑25 is expected 2️⃣ Jonas Vingegaard 24′ 55″ Strong climber, though a bit behind Pogačar lately 3️⃣ Luke Plapp 24′ 58″ (actual) Already set this powerful...

Ofcourse, the most urgent prediction to get is the time of the one and only Felix Gall, now a renowned time trialist after his 2nd in TdS. Chatgpt has the following to say: "This is an intense mountain time trial culminating in a brutal 16% final kilometre—something he’s less experienced at...
