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

    Most "high profile" Rogličes crashes where caused by other cyclists/people. Mathieu is quite a frequent crasher and Pogi started accumulating those too. The way this work on this level is you will take the risk regardless. The brake, as technology, it in most cases can't hence be a bad thing...

    I would never say Rogla is an old frog. As for tomorrow, woohoo!

    Congratulation to Alexander Aranburu Deba for winning the stage. Some great racing today and everything is primed for tomorrow, should be a blast.

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

    @Divergence But then again there are panic brake usages that do resolve the situation, due to disc brakes being vastly superior in the act of braking. As Remco has demonstrated. Anyway, yesterday's news.

    To be honest i am not sure if it's more dangerous because of it, could be the opposite. We would need more data to back either up. All i can say is when going fast and having worse brakes, that doesn't improve safety.

    Congratulations to Axel Laurance for winning the stage. Now i guess again more favourable terrain, for GC guys to do the talking.

    Chris Horner is torching knuckleheads and murdering everyone's name

    He indicated that he might drop Rogla in (near) future. But luckily Rogla won't allow it.

    They allow for more aggressive racing so fans IMHO shouldn't complain. As for Remco and what he said or didn't say. He was punished enough by that fall so it's all good.

    Racing so far is a nice indicator of rising form but said that Rogla won't settle with anything else then winning this race. So it doesn't matter on who is in this race or not the goal remains the same.

    Teams & Riders The Red Bull - Bora - Hansgrohe team thread

    Both just revenged Remco, as usually nobody wants to work with him. So in the end it's fair, balanced out in regards to the team.

    Congratulations to Paul Seixas for winning the stage in an impressive fashion. Rogla and Lipo superb tactically and i really enjoyed it. As a cherry on top a mini stomp done by Rogla at the end of the stage for the fans. So it's in between the oldest and the youngest now and lets see on how...

    Teams & Riders The Red Bull - Bora - Hansgrohe team thread

    Considering Rogla and Lipo are second and third in GC respectively already after day 2 i don't see on why RBH thread should be the one full of complaints or to be compared to some other team with bad tactics. After all Lipo tried to follow Paul and couldn't. So beyond that they achieved maximum...

    Florian Lipowitz is the new German GC hope discussion thread

    A bit salty due to Rogla and Lipo cracking Isaac today? IMHO he was and did a good job.
