Yes ... Pogi is back to be the overwhelming favorite. Almeida's odds fell a little from 18 to 1 to 16 to 1 (probably UAE related) and Lipowitz also fell from 50 to 1 to 33 to 1.

No doubt Pogi broke out "the good stuff" for todays race. Let's hope (for the sake of competitiveness) that Vine had a bad day like Pogi had one yesterday. Probably not, but we can at least hope.

I think what it says is as of today, this is what the betting public predicts will happen. (With some fanboys betting on their guy and other gamblers trying to make money with no preference who actually wins.) My guess is the market would be considered fairly "efficient" at this juncture. A...

Tour odds as of today. Pog's have dropped since the start of the Dauphine, but is still the slight favorite. Vingegaards has risen. Roglic is 25 to 1 (~4% to win), Lipowitz is 50 to 1 (~2% to win). BTW, Simon Yates odds before the Giro were 35 to 1 ... so it does happen.

Sounds like the UCI wants a bigger "donation" from OneCycling.

I found this recent article. Sounds like he is a good place mentally. Where's Sepp? Kuss Under Pressure to Step Up in Alps in Tour de France Dress Rehearsal

So what did people think of Kuss' time trial? Seemed pretty good to me, or at least a lot better. Back to 2023 form?

I, for one, am glad to see Vingegaard results today. It was kind of boring with only Pogacar riding on "the very best stuff." Hopefully it makes for a competitive and exciting July.

Could it be he can't get off the gear or it will show up on the biological passport?

The biggest thing about Sky was all the BS they were floating about the reasons they were winning. I really don't hear teams like UAE or Visma trying to pass along "marginal gains" ***. Bringing their own pillows, heated overshorts for transfers, hand sanitized stations, portable rice...

The reason I posted it was because I saw little data in this thread to back up either side of the argument, only people arguing. I would love it if someone did go through with a detailed analysis. Maybe if someone on the forum has a paid chatgpt account it might be better? IDK

Detailed breakdown of Roglic's crashes according to Deepseek. I have no idea how accurate this is.

I asked deepseek AI for the number of crashes for the top 10 Grand Tour Riders for the past 5 years. The data may not be 100% accurate, as we know these generative AI models can be dicey, but I think it is a good starting point. According to deepseek, Roglic has more crashes than the other 9...

Favorite now to win the Giro at 4 to 6 ( ~60% probability). Vamos!
