I totally agree with Remco's take on young riders being fairly maxxed out due to well "managed" entries into the pro levels. He should also look into the mirror while he projects the appropriate training changes to, perhaps be more competitive in GTs and major climbs. Again...

Like I said...cursed.

Considering the pressure and environment Olympic Athletes can often compete in there is still one and only best male athlete: Jessie Owens

It's the latent curse of Al Davis moving from Oakland....

Several reviews have noted Darnold's anxious passing for 3 games. Seahawks had huge leads and managed to ride on first half scoring; letting the D close the games out. They almost did that yesterday. If SEA had that last field goal several feet to the left and won by a single point they...

Just watching Nibali's proximity to the stairwell on a tight right bend and Mohoric's full MTB posture suggest that you can definitely win by taking all risks. Gotta have the skills or you end up in a vegetable greenhouse 50 feet below the stone wall that launched the spectacular end to a...

That's what we hope he's able to do: stay healthy and complete a season of serious preparation.

It would be relevant to demonstrate how, in spite of your opinion that Lipowitz is tactically challenged: he still finishes ahead. Is he that much stronger or just tactically better than Remco? I think both.

I agree that he needs to ride tactically and that would include surfing the attacks of #2,3 threats just to advance through the peloton. He tends to a)sit on Pogacar's wheel and suffer when Pogi puts a dig in when terrain favors him b) watch other attacks he could attach to with very little...

It is a very open neighborhood and the child was not bitten; but fell over when the dogs connected. Should have clarified that but it still has the same potential outcome for the aggressor dog. None were leashed. That episode did place the Pyrennes dog owner on notice. I don't think she's...

He proved he could use an entire team's energy against itself in the year's Tour. Pogacar won his first Tour on selective effort with almost no help. Point being: Remco has a dedicated situation and his training should flex to meet both the demands and opportunities RBH can give him. He...

Yet finishes in front of Remco in stage races that matter. He's also received much less attention and has less time racing...

Living in a very dog friendly environment, the daily canine interactions have reinforced much of what you say. Most neutered male dogs are relatively fun and chill. Female dogs that are fixed behave very similarly but tend to jealous protective of those they rely/love. We have a mellow...

And if Remco was that rider; he should have been able to ride to those guys. Right? His Dauphine' showed he still didn't have his tactics right. He finished behind: Roglic, Jorgenson, Lipowitz. He won't have an excuse this season unless the blind faithful conjure up a defense.

Which is why he'll be unsuccessful against Pogacar; who seldom makes a tactical mistake. He may learn alot from Lipowitz and Roglic, IMO.
