Thought Remco was in the zone jamming on stage for a moment there when scrolling down.

Not sure how to take this quote but sounds like he's been ill as well? Perhaps a factor in UAE chilling out a bit. “I’ve seen a lot of guys getting sick, but I’m getting better. I’m almost OK,” Pogačar said after the stage Thursday. “In the peloton on the day before the rest day, there were a...

Yeah hard to tell, certainly seemed like a positive split. I assumed that the Velon data was from the series off accelerations near the start of the climb. Seems most of the peloton was a bit off yesterday, they did 6/wkg (ish) for 17mins on the Maddalena & Pog only put 12secs into Ganna on...

Shows just how far off Naichaca's estimates really are. Official figures 8.48w/kg for when he was attacking (1'46") whereas Naichaca has him doing more than that for the entire duration of the climb

Seems to be the case, they've deleted it now.

Maybe? An Ineos rider went down a few KM ago but not sure who

Rodriguez 29 sec down according to PCS ?

8 DNS 3 abandons incl McNulty & DeGendt. Must be a bug going round?

Lenny Martinez, the 52kg leadout man.

Yes both schedule & prep with the latter explaining the difficulty of competing at a high level in both hence the mention of the TDF and it not allowing specific prep for the physiological demands of MTB and vice versa. With the switch to road from MTB being the harder transition of the two...

The fact he rides another discipline in the middle of the road season definitely has an impact on this, it's not a case of it might have an impact. I think the point I'm trying to make here is being misconstrued, I am not agreeing nor disagreeing that he should be considered part of a top a 6...

Nope. Didn't say anything even remotely related to this anywhere in any of my posts. I don't know why you've quoted a previous post of yours there? I didn't read that post let alone reply to it.

I didn't mention him taking a multi discipline approach in the context of CX/Road in any of my previous posts? Quite the opposite, I've said in two previous posts and now for a third time that having a CX/Road does not equate to what I would consider a multi discipline approach as the two...

I don't see where MVDP or Van Aert come into this? They are 75kg+ and compete in the cobbled and flat classics, Pidcock is 59kg and rides the Ardennes/GC you wouldn't have compared Valverde to Cancellera or Boonen either. Even so, Van Aert won 5 UCI races on the road last year whilst Pidcock won...

Not in the context that he is being judged at the moment. He's balancing disciplines that do not necessarily compliment each other and then being measured against other riders whose focus is 100% road. How can he be over or underrated? There is essentially no answer to the question at the...
