Even thought it's super sad and annoying, we have to give Mauro&UAE respect how they build this story. This innocent and positive guy from a small nation with some talent, could all the sudden be sold as some sort of generational talent/world beater and with carefull media management&lot of...

View: https://x.com/LUMA21m/status/1945949777683681503?s=19 Look at the innocent young rider on the right. He could have been pog vol 1.0, but honest Mauro was still practicing, didn't have the unlimited financial resources and apparent Lance like protection from the UCI. I still remember...

Not from the traditional press, but the socialmedia has more and more critical comments. Off course it's not nearly enough, but at least more people have had enough and are starting to realise that maybe there's something terribly wrong in this picture.

Totally true and im also thinking this is connected to the lower level of Visma since 2023. Visma got a slap to the wrist and UAE got a free pass to up their program, hence pogs(and others)miraculous rise in level over a few winter months while in the mid twenties. He was already very suspicious...

And how was Indurain in the classics? Did he win every race he entered from early spring to late autumn and with ease? This is way worse than anything I have seen in my lifetime. He is this supercharged Armstrong and I just don't get how are they letting this happen again. Guess it's the UAE...

Would be suprised if he doesnt change it after the flat part.

I think that's why he was so relaxed yeasterday about the bruises, he knows it's not going to affect the watts at all. Today we will see the VR5S for the first time since Dauphine and be prepared for the first super alien performance of this Tour.

And they clearly had to up the antes so to say, after losing two years in a row to Vinge. New juice, more of the old stuff, sophisticated motors(and using them more often) or all them together. The training explanation(10% rise in one winter!!) is worse bs than the marginal gains ever was.

And those are the things one shall not talk here.

I was being sarcastic regarding the level of the two aliens, but surely I think the team doesn't actually help him.

His biggest chance is a new team and to finally learn how to train properly. I mean heat training, intervals, a lot of zone2 and we might see the 10% rise in level which pog also had 23/24 winter. That should be enough to stay close/challenge the alien duo also in the high mountains and with TT...

Best of today, Chapeau!

This is 100% what I have also been saying, but somehow get attacked with oneliners again and again, even thought it's not a difficult point and also actually based on pure facts about the performances of the riders. Not even been accusing a lot of pog about anything just know😅just stating that...

No I/we here have been mostly talking about the last two seasons, when it has gotten super ridicilous. How hard can it be to understand, it's not that complicated. Of course I recognise others wins too, when have I said I don't. Seriously starting to question your reading comprehension.

No you started changing the years after the reasoning didn't fit your narrative anymore. We had been talking of pogs total lunatic level after the winter 23/24, he was crazy even before and with Gianetti&co in the back not beliavable. After only reading this forum for many years, I even...
