    Teams & Riders The Remco Evenepoel is the next Eddy Merckx thread

    Of all the things that I expect out of Remco being able to stay with Pogi on one of his all out uphill attacks is pretty low on the list.

    GCN cyclocross commentators

    I'm not convinced that some of them actually watch the races. Time after time I'll see something happen in the corner of the screen like a crash or big bobble and the announcer will go on talking about whatever filler he was in the middle of, 3 minutes later he'll be wondering out loud why so...

    I don't remember where I saw it but there is a short clip out there where Wout is telling Pogi he should race cross and Pogi's response is "why so you guys can lap me?"

    Hah, his answer to do you have a social life! He says yes he's going over to where some of the other riders are staying and they're going to watch cyclocross videos.

    Teams & Riders Everybody needs a little bit of Roglstomp in their lives

    Doesn't matter who they send they both go with 1 undisputed leader. If RBH can do that with someone as strong as Pogi or Vingo then they have a chance, unless both of those are true then not so much.

    In fact Visma had 2 firsts and 1 second UAE had 1 first and 2 seconds RBH EF and Q 36.5 each had 1 third. That suggests to me that RBH and Q36.5 are on equal footing. In GTs anyway Q36.5 might be stronger in 1 day races.

    I hope so, I'm a fan. But a realistic one.

    No, the only things interfering with him winning the Tour are Pogi, Vingo, Remco and age.

    If I'm Roglic I would look to win Tour of Switzerland and set the record for Vuelta wins at this career point. Maybe not quite the same as a TDF win but infinitely more achievable.

    The only prior Elite mens race on this course was the Belgian Nationals 3 years ago where Van Aert rolled off the front before the half way point and finished about one and a half minutes before Sweek. This race was a lot more exciting and I'm a Van Aert fan.

    Teams & Riders The Red Bull - Bora - Hansgrohe team thread

    I would like to see Roglic finally win a TDF. I'd like to have a million dollars too.

    Yes, my point was that a normal Pogi would have taken even more time out of Lipowitz.

    Teams & Riders The Red Bull - Bora - Hansgrohe team thread

    To be fair 9 minutes is less than 11 minutes. Also Pogacar was uncharacteristically subdued in the last week this past tour. Remco was 3 minutes behind Jonas whereas Lipowitz was over 6 1/2 minutes back. I feel like Lipowitz was kind of best of the rest finishing 1:12 in front of Onley while...

    Does anyone know what's ailing Van Empel? After dropping out on Saturday at the first time passing the pit she was a DNS on Sunday. I didn't hear any mention regarding her absence on the Sunday coverage.
