no he did not. He said that he was fortunate to win quite a lot.

As you can see in the picture, Pogi is getting his bike while Visma is still passing them. So Pogi was still in reach of the cars to get back easily. That is because he was the number one car. 5-10 seconds earlier makes a big difference.

The UAE car is the first car in the race. Pogacar gets a flat, the car stops and al the other cars are behind. One minute later Van Aert gets a puncture so it took a lot longer for the Visma car to get to Van Aert..

MVDP and it's not even close.

The point is that for example WVA is much better cyclist than Chris Froome. WVA wins mountain stages, wins cobbled classics, wins sprints an ITT's, while Chris Froome only could ride up a mountain real fast at the end of a mountain stage. But if you say that cycling is only about that specific...

If you are saying that the only important thing in cycling is the abilty to climb long cols than you are right, but it is not. That is also why Tom Boonen, Marc Cavendish, Philippe Gilbert, and Mario Chipollini stand above Contador and Froome in the all time cycling ranking...

Nope. There are hundreds of one day races every year. Saying that only 3 races on the calendar are important is rediculous. You know nothing about cycling if you really believe that to be true.

He was bad in San Remo, he was super strong in Flanders but he lost against an alien and he was super strong in Roubaix but had bad luck.

Pretty Much

The predictions show not a lot of wind, but it will be a tailwind.

I don't know them on a personal level, so I can't tell a lot about their personality. You know them well?

PR will be something else, trust me. The cobbles are much harder and it's just flat. On the flat cobbles the advantage is for Van Aert, MVDP and Pedersen. You could even see that on the flat section of the kwaremont. Pogi was the clear favorite for Flanders, but he is not for Roubaix.

And what's even more important. You can't compare a steep cobbled climb with a long climb on asphalt. On a steep and relatively short cobbled climb you go in the red and then it is key to recover in the short downhill sections. On a long asphalt climb it is key to keep below threshold. So, I...

He lost half an hour because he didn't even try the last 2 climbs. If he wanted he probably could have come in like Almeida or something but what's the point in doing that? Now he had a relatively easy 2 last climbs and he was allowed in the breakaway. If he would have been 10 minutes down, they...

He didn't lose it in winter because he needed the weight in Flanders. And I can't believe he lost that much between Liege and the Tour either.
