What I dislike as a Roglič fan is him hiding the troubles he has, making me walk on air in my firm belief in him, until I'm suddenly forced to look down and realize the edge of the cliff is quit some way back, making the fall more painful than it need be. But on the other side of the coin...

It is not that I would have blind confidence in Rogla winning it, no stress, because of himself... but winner is always relative to the competitors so this would imply there would have to be another competitor who I would think is more likely to win. Then I look around and see the main...

I've checked your comment history and saw you like Remco... I hope you became his fan only after he turned out to be the underdog when Master Pog shows up... because I can't image you enjoyed his early cycling days very much, because he made Master Pogs solos look interesting as huck even by...

Not sure how the descent looks, but if by any chance Evenepoel and Pogačar arrive to the final descent together, I can see Tadej testing Remco there too. Evenepoel lost quite a lot descending Galibier in Tour. Of course descent here is shorter, but you do not want to be all-in chasing even from...

"Now in stable condition" is a great upturn from how serious it was considering the slovenian media report. "It was worst collected by an 18-year-old Slovenian who, according to Italian media, suffered a cardiac arrest with a large cut on his neck. He was immediately taken to a hospital in La...

I will enter this train while there are still seats left. I only wish he would join Roglič, as he has the best young riders development record, but in the long run there is still time to change the road you are on.

His back problems were always there and public (he said at start that that is just the way this injury is and that it is expected the pain will subdue around the time of Vuelta finish, if things don't go wrong before that), today it was just a day it hurt more, combined with the missing legs...

I honestly find him very good, specially compared to the Kirby alternative. At least his pronunciation of names of Slovenian cyclists is very accurate and its always very refreshing to see English speaking commentators actually putting some effort and showing respect to actually pronounce things...

Who cares about expectations, hope is all we need. On the Vuelta topic... its hard to have him as clear favourite, this is similar to 2022, when he also had fractured vertebra and was questionable for Vuelta and then won by bonus seconds vs Carapaz. Carapaz is also one of the favourites for me...

I've had my problems with Evenepoel, but more so with his fans... I didn't take the time to read more than this page, but it seems that some of the fan problems are not gone, but I guess they should enjoy, when if not now. While for Remco I have nothing but respect and admiration for at least a...

I think Pogačar will (try to) go no later than the step part between col and cima de la Bonette and go mostly solo from there ("this stage will not be decided by seconds" to paraphrase Vingegaard). Problem with Evenepoel (and Pogačars plan) is his descent so he will probably not come solo to the...

That was just yet another (very) hard hit to my belief in Rogla somehow showing us the tour performance we have been denied a realization in all these years. I am running out of "excuses" this season. We can only hope this were by far the worst legs he will have in this tour, no other...

Without going into the clinic at first chance, here is another reason why double was much more frequent in before 2000s. Since the end of giro was considerably closer to the start of tour, it was more possible to do it as a single "peak".

I'm not arguing the Pogačars case, but flawed logic that is used to argue for/against his case. Pogačar also didn't win 6 tours at the start of the career, as it happened in my example. The though-experiment could show that a goat does not need to be always and everywhere the best (but being...

@Extinction How about this... lets say a rider wins 6 straight tours at the start of his career, then he gains weight and is winning monuments all over, and somebody beats him in the tour 7 times in this latter part of his career, but this competitor never wins a monument. It is (I think)...
