How about gene doping/genetic enchancement from birth or otherwise? Because that's 100% in the cards. If it's not already what's deciding the races it certainly will be in the upcoming decades.

But now they are so fast Big Mig looks pedestrian by comparison and they are all cleans? And of course Pogacar is more ahead of the rest than they would be of Mig. Like if everything improved so much, mariginal gains, nutrition, training blabla wouldn't that make for the logical conclusion that...

I think it's some weird thing were people identify themselves with the true outliers, see the same thing in hockey forums, game forums and so on. People have this mega boner for the very best and feel like they are entitled the world simply for having success in something, all things...

To be fair by the looks of it all top tier riders except Pog himself would do well just dodging the guy and focus on winning other stuff.

Nah I dont really buy the motor theory either, even if I am quite convinced it has been used by other riders for particular stages(we all know the usual suspects/clips of this). I am more leaning towards advanced bioengineering which is what will ultimately decide who's winning in sports if it's...

Honestly I don't care if he is doping or not, although I would bet everything but my life that he is, what gets to me is how boring him winning every other race(and obviously sandbagging the others) is. Heck it made me, as a Swede, cheer for a danish mutant.

So what about him do you respect?

I will withhold my verdict till after the Tour, still wouldn't be that surprised if we see Vinge skip a couple of evolutional steps and totally obliterate Pog in the mountain TT while keeping up for the rest of it. Of course would be way less of a suprise if the true giga mutant just keeps on...

Better than most but at the same time not really allt that special, zero really memorable GC action in the mountains+predictable outcome takes it down a notch or two. Excellent breakway action and O'Connor made it more interesting in terms of GC, although it was pretty obvious early on he...

Spanish rider at Vuelta, contract year, oversized for winning this type of stage well yeah it's not a little suspicious in my mind. Cheered for him when he won the first stage thinking it was a rider from a small team putting everything on the line for one day and stars aligning. After today...

Still in good position for podium but of course his chances at winning is pretty much Roglic contesting a dumb sprint for zero reason.

Hope Roglic crack and Mas+Carapaz pedals away. Not that I dislike Roglic but much prefer if every GT is not won by one of 3 riders, given that they are present. In the Tour I cheer for him. Don't have much faith in O'Connor but would be more than happy if he managed to clinge on for the win...

I mean UAE have no shortage of such riders and settling for a GC top 10 for Del Toro seems rather lame. Also why is it so important for you, or anybody else, that he might get experience to be successful one day? The Vuelta is now, I am sure he can have his practice run without the entire team...

If that's the goal they set it's really snooze, who cares about him being top 10 or not? Nah go for stages instead would be my inclanation.

It's not a one time thing for me, Cancellara got several weird moments and liked to change bikes mid race. Of course nothing conclusive but he is one of a handful of riders that got clips visibly looking off to me. It just doesn't look natural at all.
