Re: What does “fair” men in the context of sport? The strongest, luckiest and most clever win, your comment makes no sense at all. Unless you’re talking budget or clinic related stuff.

This feels more like Roglic giro than Yates ‘18 giro tbh. Fatigue creeping in, but still strong on fantastic form. If he can limit losses to what we saw yesterday on the coming alpine stages, it could be extremely competitive. I still feel like he has a chance, but difficult to ignore the upward...

Poels always have on and off days, especially in the two first weeks. There would probably have been 3 Ineos riders at the finish today with Froome in the race, keeping a tempo just shy of blowing up Thomas and scaring anyone else away from attacking. Then, in the third week, they would be 4...

I know there’s a lot of jokes around the “new Eddie Merckx”, but this season from Alaphilippe must be somewhat reminiscent of the old cannibal? I mean, he started off winning Milan-Sanremo, flèche and strade Bianchi. If he goes on to win several stages and the overall in tdf, he must be the most...

Only reason Ineos looks weak is Kwiatkowski who’s obviously not on form and the fact that support riders Thomas and Bernal are there to ride GC in absence of Froome. If he was here it would have been businesses as usual, Thomas, Bernal and Poels would have crushed the field and killed any...

They probably mean relative wind, it can be crushing at high speeds;)

Really happy to have Mathews back in this form, battle for green might be good. Sagan will definitely collect a couple of wins, today was very hard, not a sprinter in sight last 30k, he will get it:)

Froome is the only great champion of the tdf in our time, the only GT-great since Contador (only much more so) only rivaled by LA in modern times. He is the guy everyone cares about, about 50% want to see him loose, and the rest want to see if the greatest still has it. He is the only one to be...

We’ve seen the rest, now it’s time for the best! If you don’t like, watch some tennis or America’s cup or whatever:) Or try out in-line marathon racing, almost cycling like race dynamics and tactics, but without team Ineos ;)

I think a lot of people have this backwards. It’s not mainly the route of the GTs that separate them, it’s who goes there. No route in the world would not favor 2013 Sky, or 2019 Ineos. The team that wins these GTs often have two guys on the podium, or at least top 5. That says a lot. If you...

MS said very clearly they had put in too much work as a team towards the GC to just give up, and that they would ride as best they could to gain GT experience. For Yates to be let off in a break after his ‘18 season he would probably need to be at least 20 minutes behind, and that would amount...

Re: lol

Re: Re: When I said a strong team, I did not mean jumbo Visma with the addition of de plus or gesink. I’m thinking more like Movistar/Ineos strength. If you mean Roglic could not have gotten back on the Como stage with help pacing after bike change and maybe even over the top if he would have...

There’s no doubt he would still be comfortably in pink with a strong team. However, Carapaz would probably now be quite close and would pose a real threat. On the other hand, his level of fatigue would also be lower, so it’s hard to say. Not at all certain he would win even with a strong team...
