Congrats to Jonas Vingegaard, he looked imperious this race building his form for the Giro. I am feeling sorry for the Giro competition already. As always much discussion about Remco but too negative IMO. Give the guy a break, this was a tough early season race. Remco didn't disgrace himself...

Nice win by Jonas. The way he was casually looking over his shoulder says he wasn't full gas. Still 6 weeks until the Giro.

He looks ominous for the Giro. 6 weeks to go.

Thanks for the prod. I have unstuck those.

I think in 2024 it was suggested his Colnago V4Rs were suspect for motors. What happened to that theory?

Here is the interview after the stage. Remco seems calm, not annoyed in any way? Remco Volta a Catalunya post stage 3 interview

I used to think this way about Cadel Evans. But I didn't openly accuse Alberto Contador of being purely a creation of doping. Remco's climbing is too inconsistent. He was great in the 2022 Vuelta (actually only a single decisive climb) and in the 2024 Tour. And again, you are not the only...

Surprised nobody posted this yet. A grand tour specialist. https://www.cyclingnews.com/pro-cycling/teams-riders/former-tour-de-france-runner-up-and-multiple-grand-tour-champion-nairo-quintana-announces-retirement-for-end-of-season/ Nairo is 36 now, surprised he didn't decide to retire earlier...

Thank you. A few objective comments like this and Gigs's else one could be forgiven it was boring and terrible. Whatever we think of Pogi, today was not handed to him on a platter, he and UAE had to overcome a crash and loss of skin. Eventually MVDP had to be less than 100%. Kudos to Tom...

Still hard to see MVDP being defeated. Pogi and UAE to try again similar to last year and hope MVDP isn't quite as good. Not everything was perfect for UAE last year. UAE were not at the front at the base of Cipressa - Del Toro needs to be prominent pulling for Pogi and not have any rivals...

To more than one observer it seemed a poor choice of words. You do not wish to add a poll to verify your claimed "minority views" - minority views on what basis? I think based upon those who provided input I sense yours is the minority view. Until you do create a poll please respect the...

Please create a poll to gauge opinion. Its is fairly intuitive to do so. Reach out if you need assistance. On your earlier reply to the other moderator, it is also unclear why introducing age, race, or gender is relevant to a discussion of forum rules or etiquette? If this was an attempt to...

A promising title but I think this is behind a paywall so we can't read it without subscribing. What does it say or is there another source we can read?

Nice win by Pidders. Multiple accelerations to get the gap proving to be the strongest rider. He continues to deliver for Q36.5, suggesting it was a great move for him. Can't help but feel the Roglic of old would have destroyed that finish.

Just conceding the contrarian point but then asking further questions. Hopefully I can spend more time in PRR forum in the days ahead and not just as a mod :)
