Maybe it's a dumb question, but do you guys know how to cancel the subscribtion? I wanted it only for Giro and now I have troubles finding it.

One thing, because I can see a lot of comments about Landa not being consistent enough. Actually he is one of the most consistent GC riders when it comes to form alone. Now luck, crushes and other mishaps are another thing and also an important part of GTs. I don't want to hype him as a...

Let's just hope he stays healthy, with no crashes in the Giro. If luck goes his way he can win the whole thing.

Actually Landa is one of the most consistent GC riders. He is always there in the mountains, usually attacking or in the front group. He is simply a bad time-trialist and crashes a lot, which is hardly ever his fault (however he probably does not have enough abilities to make saves like Bernal...

There is too much panic and backlash towards Landa going on right now. I mean, the guy crashed hard in the Giro, while on at least good form and then failed to recover in time for Vuelta. When decently prepared he is still capable of beating anyone bar Pog and Rog in a 3 week race. I'm not...

Bahrain playing it smart, sending Haig up the road to overtake Landa in GC in order to unleash his secondary leader powers.

Really good analysis, probably my favourite so far. Although I would swap Buchmann with Landa and also added Vlasov to the 'final selection' but kept him out of podium. Anyway great point of reference.

I don't get why people recently started to treat Bilbao as top 5 candidate with outside shot on the podium. Sure he has excellent durability but his climbing level isn't high enough, especially for this route. 2020 field was probably the worst one I have ever seen, although I do wonder if he...

It's not like Porte's lack of podiums was a result of his poor form, it was more due to bad luck/inability to stay on the bike. Anyway Landa wasn't fantastic that Tour and often looked tired on the bike but still managed to get a decent place in one of the strongest fields that we've seen in...

Seriously? He was 6th in 2019 Tour racing it after Giro, which is actually a great result. In 2018 TDF he crashed and had back problems but even if we ignore it, it's not the most recent result and I think that you know that Bardet is below Landa's level right now. In case of Carthy, I think...

Having Landa as at least podium contencer is totally justified. He was 4th in 2019 Giro behind Carapaz, Nibali and Roglic, mainly because of bad luck and ITT's (there is little of that in this Giro, and rivals are not great time trialists anyway). In 2020 Tour he wasn't really impressive but...

Is it only me or is Sega di Ala upgraded copy of Loze stage from last year Tour?

I generally like the route as it shapes up and don't understand people talking like it's only redeeming factor is the fact that we live in covid times and should be happy that the race will take place. Sure there is still a lot of unknowns, like amount of itt kilometres and how the stages are...

ITT is the best thing that you can get on the first and last stage and in general splitting tt kilometres and placing time triles all over a race can improve pacing. In addition not everyone dislikes to watch them. Even though I usually support mountain goats ovet time trailer I actually really...

Gave it 5. love 2 ITT's, Ventoux stage and its placement. first week looks really well apart from the fact that LGB stage lacks some climbing earlier on. posibility of nice battle for yellow at the start is a plus. finaly all weekends looks promising. we also have a nice balance between...
