Happy for Wout, but he caught a big break when MVDP went home.

MVDP would have crushed everyone.

Mindset of a super-champion with the freakish talent to back it up. You also got a glimpse of it in that interview clip when they asked him about whether he saw the footage of Pogi doing the PR recon earlier this spring. I don’t care that much about other opinions. I do what I have in mind...

Talking about the greatest multi-discipline bike racer. Road racing counts as ONE discipline. MVDP's biggest goal (his words) this year isn't even on the road bike.

Nope. The Olympics were in July and PR was in early October.

Pogi is the best road racer in the world, but he is not the best all-around bike racer in the world. That guy won the bike race today. Now on to the MTB!

MVDP went into that race a bit compromised. Was still in the thick of the back issues that were exacerbated by his big crash just a few months earlier in Tokyo. Without the wet conditions that year he probably isn't even at the front of that race. Was there because he was killing guys in an out...

AD takes the race by the balls and MVDP destroys everyone.

Think Bruyneel nailed it when he said MVDP's pride was hurt at RVV - you could see that in his postrace. He comes across so relaxed, but above all else the guy is an absolute killer and going down on his own turf, sick or not, didn't sit well. Hoping his team takes the race by the balls and sets...

He needs to keep beating Pogi whenever they race on the biggest stage at what could be considered a relatively even playground. Races like RVV, Glasgow Worlds, MSR, PR, the old Strade course, etc. Of course the fact that Pogi can compete against him in these types of races and GT's shows why...

MVDP won't make excuses, but I will for him. He definitely looked very disappointed - knows he missed a big opp here. With this Spring's form he just needed things to go relatively smoothly to beat Pogi, and between not staying 100% healthy, the crash, and being out of position the 2nd time up...

Pogi fans conveniently forget that MVDP also happens to be the greatest CX racer of all-time and was the best MTB racer in the world the last time he put the minimal amount of time it takes to be the best in the world at anything (2019). I would say a podium at LBL and a pure climbers WC aren't...

Interesting that Pogi is dropping E3 and GW to go "all in" on RVV and PR. Funny that he's the one guy (not the fans, not the media) that truly understands what he is up against versus a 100% healthy, on-form MVDP. Let's hope they both make it to those races ready to go. Will be interesting to...

Fair enough. I prefer the the big one day races along with elite MTB and CX. Watch the GT's, but don't find the GC action particularly exciting. TT's are boring to watch and watching guys so skinny that they are borderline unhealthy go up mountains isn't much better. Certainly admire the...

I said all-around bike racer, not World Tour road racer. This isn't WT cyclingnews and there is a lot more to bike racing than road racing. Obviously Pogi is the better all-around road racer just by virtue of the fact he can win a GT (where you basically need to be an unhealthy skeleton to win)...
