    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

    I mean, the only other option would have been to launch Vingegaard which wasn‘t the plan. Their plan for Soulor had just attacked backwards and they weren‘t getting anywhere with pushing further.

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

    Great hindsight, but after yesterday‘s stage it was certain that that‘s what they had to do. I wouldn‘t offer Remco a job as Visma DS.

    The damaged left side has stayed the same.

    Teams & Riders Matteo Jorgenson and his inexorable rise to the top

    Depends on where you draw the line. I think he‘s inconsistent on long climbs but climbs well enough to destroy races like Paris-Nice with medium-sized climbs. Today he also had a bad day though.

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

    I think the first part is too punchy for the TT bike, it goes: Short flat section, then 300 meters 6%, then short descent for about a kilometer, then a kilometer of flat, before the gradients start after less than 3 kilometers.

    Florian Lipowitz is the new German GC hope discussion thread

    Well, they have the numbers that Roglič can do, which are much higher than the numbers he did today. I doubt they can predict what numbers the riders will do and I‘m not sure it‘s even allowed to monitor live data from the team car.

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

    I don‘t know, he clearly had some issue on Soulor, supposedly he overheated even though that climb was well-shaded. If he hadn‘t wasted so much energy coming back from that crisis, he would have finished better today.

    Well, he already had a bad day on the other big GC day, so it‘s starting to be quite suspect.

    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    Think the Simon Yates time is fairly overrated, Most power curves just underestimating 1 Hour power because they never do 1 hour all-out seems more likely

    7 minutes to 10th, we‘re lacking GC riders here

    Tour de France Poll: Hautacam climbing time

    What a weird stage, only one rider looking super-human.
