Tom Crabbe 3 stages. Killing cycling.

Those complaints are ridiculous... He dropped Lipowitz without moto, and VPP had no chance of winning the stage because there were more than 10 riders stronger than him. Furthermore, he should remember that he and Healy had the moto to open up the gap in the Tour stage :tearsofjoy:

He hasn´t made Amstel because he was coocked there last year, and this year he's doing the Tour de Romandie. Las year hi did more days of competition because he did UAE Tour out of obligation. Otherwise, there wouldn't be that much difference. He does the Canadian Classics every year, so it...

2020 season cannot be used as a reference . Pandemic year, and they were without competition for a long time, followed by a calendar that was altered from what had been planned in the preseason. This situation affects a young rider (young back then) more than a veteran cyclist. Furthermore...

I understand the strategy. He will win the Vuelta like Kuus :tearsofjoy:

I thought Soler would be replaced because he's doing the Giro, and he always does the Vuelta.

VPP, weighing 50 kilos, was in the sprint yesterday and today.

Sivakov lost 3 minutes today. He has not been able to hold his own in a group with Godon. I'm curious which team UAE will select for the Tour. Will they select Almeida despite his problems?

That can happen in any race or training session. If it were just about the risk of crashes, he wouldn't go to Flanders and Roubaix. He hasn't done any stage races, and the Tour is in two months, which is why he's doing the Tour de Romandie. He can't go to the Tour without races like this and TDS.

I wouldn't call yesterday's sprint close. Anyway, with Pogacar winning two sprints and seeing UAE's significant weakness in this race, it's clear that a good breakaway would have won today's stage. Roglic and other riders are far behind in the general classification; it's better to use Bora's...

Free Roglic.

Today, again, UAE's weakness is evident. Roglic could have fought for the stage win in a breakaway. UAE doesn't have a team capable of countering a strong breakaway. Bora's tactics. They're racing as if Pogacar were their leader.

Is Bora's goal that Pogacar to win every stage? Wouldn't it be better for Roglic to go for a stage win from the breakaway?

Will we see Ion Izagirre return in 2028 like Pozzovivo? What a level in his retirement year!

Pericas in the group. The guys from 2006 are machines: Seixas, Finn, AWP, Hector Alvarez, Pericas...
