    he's really had 2. He had what Tyler Hamilton had in back to back years, a broken collar bone last year Hamilton finished both GTs

    the CO had to be stopped. That literally is the same gas that was used at TREBLINKA in WW2! Think about how crazy that was last year. Now, just need to keep the playing field level by stopping Saunier-Duval from doing whatever they are doing

    I would think the aero bars may be a better option as on the shallow lower slopes, there is still some time to gain When the TDF did Chamrousee in 2001, Armstrong used a road bike with aero bars, despite 14km of flat before the climb

    I wonder if Mapei and the Bank Robbers got a Mayo-like UCI letter to tone things down a bit, whereas Saunier-Duval are still going full steam ahead?

    It's a whole 2-3km on the flat tomorrow. Drunk Gouvenou did not count the first km of the climb tomorrow as a climb, even though it is around 5%

    If that's the case, then shame on Remco. He should look spent at the end of a hard mountain day. He needs to go 5-10W higher on his power meter if that's the case that he's fresh at the finish

    It did not look like a full on heat stroke this time. He was cooked for 2 more days after his heat stroke, the same as Armstrong was in 2003 Of course, this makes QS looks like total fools. They keep making the same damn mistakes over and over

    This is probably what the Abisque day would have been had he been riding for the podium at the 2023 Vuelta Instead, he had already made up his mind to go for stages

    which is why I said he should have went ahead of the peloton when he caught back up. Keep up his own pace. Maybe he could have started Hautacam 30 seconds ahead

    He MIGHT be better than some of the other leaders who gave it their all to hang on like a leach

    If Remco catches the lead group, he needs to just keep on going. Just stay at the steady pace
