Besides; dropping the competition to solo for a win is the ultimate silencer move. Words are pointless. I'm rooting for Remco to step up. That said; I think I'm done on the forum.

You're touching on why many of the armchair wattcounters are not in the ballpark of reality. A race is a RACE; not zwift and even when you're not pedaling in a GT the stress is taking it's toll. Maybe someday we'll see the actual files of two preeminent competitors after an epic race. Then...

....and Pogacar became the youngest UCI Tour winner in 2019. 2022 WC was similar to this year's WCRR. Everyone expected someone else to put out most of the effort to chase. Too little, too late.

Murray is an exciting talent but Seattle demonstrated a containment and pass defense others will duplicate. Minnesota isn't 9-2 for nothing, then the Hawks again and LA Rams are tough when they're on. Seattle and AZ could just hurt each other and LA could sweep up the division. Seems like a...

You don't really read what anyone else posts, do you? I haven't read a post in pages that suggests any WT rider in the top 10 of any race is clean. So, no one believes that. What you saw and your reaction perhaps suggests some other rider you favor was clean and should have prevailed?

It's not going to get easier. They play NYJ next week (some relief?), wk 14 Arizona, wk 15 Green Bay, wk 16 Minn, wk 18 LA. Odds are probably against winning half of those unless some O line play has the intensity their receivers and running backs had. Also; Metcalf has stopped getting...

Seattle's defense is definitely on. On offense they had some FIRE, too. The O-line is still patchwork but Geno, sacked 6 5 times, was still able to engineer some great drives. Score could've been much worse for the Cards.

New York will be paying Jones. Not that he'll get assurances of support if he went to Vegas but he didn't sound like he wanted to play when volunteering to leave NYC.

Stem length is a possibility but so are levers and their location and how your seat position allows for moving up. Wider bars would accentuate that awkward reach, too. You should be able to take your hands off the drops on the flats if your position is balanced and still pedal. It's not a...

Isn't that about the time Tadej acts like Elvis?

....just those other races. He won.

Resources (money) alone can't account for the differential. You also suggest Tadej isn't a more talented one day rider. I believe he is at least as good for the races that most interest him and his opponents think so, too. That doesn't mean UAE, Visma or any other team doesn't know better how...

And what was available then wouldn't turn donkeys into GT thoroughbreds. IMO Tadej has always shown his talent. This last season, as I have said ad nauseum; is a product of his work/preparation and the inescapable fact that all of his major opponents were seriously injured at least once in...

That's certainly one of the simple answers, at least.

But he quit on Cera. Que cera, cera.
