How some think Remco can outperform Pogi on this route is beyond me. He will perhaps be ahead after 10k but that's it. The q is - will they ride a TT machine or aero? Or a combination of the two

Visma hinting here that JV is a competitor to TP at one day races is preposterous. 100 cyclists are better than him

Having this image of a joyful Pogačar and a laborius and always dedicated Vingegaard I can't but think of the historical fates of Mozart and Salieri.

roglomania is a religious thing in slovenia. there are quite some people there that want so badly the magic story of roglic (skiing is the sport where national heros used to belong to) to get complete with a tdf win that they think pogacar is a villain from a fairytale. i am not joking.

assuming the race is controlled until last 50k, remco and tadej split gold an silver between them. if they play against each other, mvdp wins.

He It was a humiliation, not only Ganna passing him at the end but being faster on ascents! - not sure how this can help him psychologically for the next races! More crucially - this underperformance binds his hands for the RR. No way he will be forgiven to ride (and fail) for his own...

In hindsight, today's blow might prove not only unnecessary but also costly

But can he sustain it? Only if big teams are worn out (but for that the pace needs too be really high) or there's a competitive escape group from the bigs in front by then and he manages to cross and then sting again. Remco's position in that race is similar without Wout, so they are kind a...

I recall Wout being by far the strongest rider at Tokyo 2020 RR and everyone marking him and letting him chase and fade alone. The usual scenario for Pog capitalising on his supremacy only possible if the team controls the race until last 25 km. Pretty insane to expect that. So he will have to...

This is even more simplistic than insisting that Remco has the shortest femurs of the three :))

It started already in 2017 with the first win over the galibier. It is true that him switching sports (from ski jumping which is more than a sport discipline in slovenia) and starting late makes him more relatable for some people. It helps that there is still limited understanding of the...

In cycling, maths is for amateurs

Indeed, where's the joy? I feel sorry for this kid

You missed the point. There was once a high jump world record holder 1m73cm tall. He was from Jersey, not from Kinshasa

Hermann Maier was a bricklayer. Just like that guy from Asmara
