Will De Lie finally do something?

He probably doesn't show up in the dataset but did Gilbert really become that much worse on hills after 2011?

Do you have any information on Jurgen Van den Broeck in 2011. He won a stage in Dauphiné and 2011 Tour didn't look to be a particularly high level. Was that the year he could have legitimately be in the mix?

The first pancakes are for the children anyway.

What if you've been under the weather and it impacts your comment quality?

Giro 2023 is unfair to hold against him imo.

Yeah that's a bummer to read. De Lie is still young of course, but no longer grass green, and the big results haven't been there yet. A top-10 at MSR wouldn't be meaningless here.

Quite a random comment that.

Threads like this are one of the reasons why I continue to prefer forums over sites like Reddit. Love to see the original deep dive and people getting to mull over, and discuss it for weeks. Great contribution!

Watching Pogacar is just power fantasy

Welcome to the forum bro

I don't know. The result itself isn't that bad, but I thought these were among the races that UAE would outright give him leadership in, given how many cooks there are in that kitchen. Of course, there'll be more Spanish races but I do hope he'll start picking up some points there.

Disappointing performance from Pablo Torres whom I picked precisely because he was doing these Spanish races. I pity the fools who didn't pick Kron.

Matthew Fox 8th, but clearly 5th fastest.
