In my mind it's simple, there's no way to follow pog on the final two laps. After 215 km, with 80 km already in the hills, you come to a stretch including koppen, taien, kruis and 2x oude + pater in 40 km's. No new strategy or perfecting the execution will make a difference there.

now msr is ticket off, surely gp Quebec will be the next big goal

It is the other way around. They all took the risk, gambling that someone else would close the gap to increase their own chance of winning. So the all risked loosing to gain a better chance of winning. That's bike racing. of course it looked ridiculous, but in reality they were basically doing...

Msr i've no doubt he could. He can perform like pidcock on those climbs, and they can not in any circumstance let him go on the flats. His sprint is also good enough to give him a shot. I think the biggest issue is to be in position at the bottom of the cipressa. In Flanders i just dont think...

I know what you mean in terms of age, te future etc, but for seixas to even reach jv level is still a good way to go and would be a huge success for him (imagine jv's carrer in a pog-less world..). My point is, jv is so far ahead of the rest that it's still years before anyone surpasses jonas...

On his standards, yes.

Viking erasure (not to speak of abb...)

Magical sport. Always gets out the truly worst in people

I think he just did what he needed to do no?

Easy to take it for granted, but JV's been orders of magnitudes above anyone not named focaccia for half a decade

No massive hole, but there was a clear indentation. Of course nothing that should pose problems. But he didn't see it and was about to change grip, so he simply lost grip of his bars. It looks like he may just be standing up, so he pushed his weight forward just as he lost grip of his bars. I...

Rather than an attack seems like he's fighting to hang on to the back of the moto-peloton

No way. 1. As the overwhelming favourite, staking your whole race on teammates chasing each other is very bad call. He shouldn't let anyone ahead, and if they are, he should back himself to both bring them back and win the sprint. 2. I'm pretty sure you're misreading pog. In terms of strategy...

When did you last see a stomp in the wild?

Would love to see it. He's in amazing shape
