    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    Today he looked bad, but he already looked bad and defeated on the rest day media interview. He senses Jonas is even stronger than the last 2 years.

    Jonas Vingegaard: Something is Rotten

    Loosing an uphill sprint to Bilbao (after two weeks matching Pog) and not going full gas on Lose...just insulting.

    Jonas Vingegaard: Something is Rotten

    I agree with you, but things are different now and it will not be enough. There will be pressure to let other team and rider win the Tour. It's the best for all.

    Jonas Vingegaard: Something is Rotten

    One can only imagine dark fantasies if Vingo or Poggi or both, test positive this Tour. Omerta is just not for cyclists and teams, commentators, organizations staff, sponsors and all the rest of the circus around remember very well how much they lost in the past.

    Jonas Vingegaard: Something is Rotten

    That was what I thought was going to happen with Pogacar, but after 2021 Tour mythical stage (where he went too far) they changed their mind and gave JV some benefits.

    Jonas Vingegaard: Something is Rotten

    Don't worry people, he went too far today, and next year someone else will get full clearence to the juice by doping authorities, not him. I bet in one of the spanish or british youngsters too crush Vingo in 2024. Most important now is: don't crush the business that reached new highs.

    Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

    The most hilarious moment of the giro was today when Dennis comes to the front in a torero style and the bulls went nuts gapping their leader.

    Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

    I know the Giro has been boring, but no one is giving the proper attention to the 2 superbulls (de Plus and Arensman) on Ineos...Ridiculous performance carring the race day after day, mountain after mountain and still making top 10. They would ashame many in the Skytrain golden days and only...

    Geraint Thomas, the next british hope

    G Thomas is one of the last representatives of one old-school cyclist style: drag your heavy ass through less important races like you had lost the form and the talent, but suddenly when the GT starts you are bulletproof again. nostalgia.

    He seems quited tired and low mood... Hopefully he is not getting ill.

    It would be disrespectfull to the Giro after such a big investment. You must save face.

    Crazy.... They carry advanced lab machinery to the race. Chapeau to QS.

    Teams & Riders The Remco Evenepoel is the next Eddy Merckx thread

    Something is not right here: they announce his abandon 4-5 hours after the race. There was no time for confirmatory PCR test and viral load acessment, there was no time for clinical evaluation of the severity of the disease. All this before a rest day. Only 2 possibilities I see to justify this...

    João Almeida - Bota Lume

    Spot on. Minimise risk approach at every racing moment (blowing up climbing, risk descending and fighting for positioning) is preventing him to step up and achieve victories.
