So who did DelToro pass in the last meters to take the stage?

Seems a bit early in the season to write off Roglic, who is performing as expected for the first race. Remco's not here and has won most of the races he's been in so far.

Yeah. Y'all missed the point. People that want to race can always find weather conditions that aren't heinous for training and aren't necessarily acclimated to those conditions. They don't need to ride at altitude, in freezing rain or in rainforest deluges because part of the country has...

Yes. And then JV took him to camp and taught him to ride in front of Jonas. His projected schedule is heavy classics and Tour Suisse before the Tour. He's proven he can win 1 week stage races and be competitive deep into a GT.

He looked pretty good today responding to the late attacks in the hills with Del Toro. Considering this is early racing for him it bodes well for what is ahead. Those last 4 km were active!

We're going down a rabbit hole and you're leading. Columbia doesn't rank in the top ten of wettest spots. Those honors go to Indian regions, Cameroon (African continent), Maui, HI, Kauai, HI-both US....Here's a real comparison: Washington State's Olympic peninsula averages 200-255 inches of...

Seriously, though. If you are an aspiring pro would you continue to train in the coldest, wettest part of your land? Typical of coastal tropical climates, should you be smart enough to train near those warm waters; is that it rains late in the day. There are also rain shadows where it's...

Jonas attacked where the terrain provided his best advantage. He would also know from his team car that the trailers were busy fighting for 2nd place honors after he gained 40 seconds. He locked/loaded into long range tempo and got the GC minutes they need to win. Pogacar gets a gap with...

I"d lost track of this Gold. Thanks, much.

He's a good floater that doesn't waste energy. When he's in an accelerating group he spins up the rpms like a track/crit rider in smaller gears. Saves energy and when he gets out of the saddle it's Bidness time. Drove Remco nuts.

His quick surgery schedule hopefully will help and likely possible due to minimal swelling. The source of the ACL is part of the recovery, though. If they grafted some of his own hamstring material the recovery can be quicker and not as subject to rejection concerns. If those tendons are...

Agree with what you say. Pre season is time to audition another sub-starter for that role and ease Patrick into it. For what it's worth: Chiefs defensive upgrades could go a long way taking off some pressure off the situation. Kenneth Walker will provide some early season challenges for any...

Love the name. The 70's died hard along with those 'staches and locks.
