yes, it didn't even involve any Belgian cyclist

Nothing Pogacaresque for me, it goes up and down and in the end the wife always wins by blatant wheelsucking or moto-drafting

In recent time, did anyone really think someone would beat Valverde in 2017 Flèche Wallone (without Alaphilippe and Gilbert riding if I'm not mistaken)? And maybe in 2016, too.

But Remco's fans have always obsessed by it since May 2021. In the past, it's because he's seen as being not as good as before. And now that he's good again, it's because someone else has become too good for him.

Someone made similar thread about Cancellara and Cavendish in the previous epoch, can't say which one's weirder

That's why I find it funny when a Remco fan keeps complaining about how boring the race is. Not that I don't agree it's boring because it is. It's just funny when it's a Remco's fan (or Vingegard's fans in stage races).

They might as well buy RCS too

Not everyone is Vanderlei de Lima

I guess it can be either patronymic name (he's an Irhamdine who is a son of another Irhamdine), or he only has one name and the form requires him to have two, so it got repeated. I talked about a cyclist name Samai (and only Samai), a few years back in this thread, in his case it is the later...

I suspect Ferrer think he was, and forget the margin by now

Everyone's also drooling about another Southern European talent with perfect English not so long ago...

Can you make a bit more effort? I think not trying to make your writing easy to read is rude.

Oh my...some people really find it hard to enjoy cycling. And it's not just you, there are several others too. I'm really sorry...

With all the chaos, it's not very easy to rate this edition, but it's not even close to the worst GT I've followed entirely. There have been some horribly boring Giri and Tours. This one had some intriguing, albeit insignificant, moments. Worst Vuelta...maybe...can't say I remember all of them...

Both Pellizari and Lipowitz had better GT results than Roglic this year
