Meh, meh,meh...why not this stage? There's nowhere to hide, no wheel to take...me, I like it. I call it "the thermometer", and the top-20 will be reshaped. Dreams of greatness coming down in flames. I like it... It's a big deal, power outputs will blow our minds, be studied in other sections...

In the end, you win. Congrats YavorD!

34'50". Many are hungry, many have something to lose, the first 5 km may not be that fast. The last 5 km will be record-fast.

Vino.

Yes, Mathieu gave a lot today, and his legend will grow even bigger tomorrow if he puts up more than a defense. He can absolutely do it and I hope that he does. He's a lion. I hope that I don't jinx him too...

Bravo Tadej, duel with Matthieu for win #100, both wearing legendary jerseys. Wow! Most impressed by Jonas, I just re-watched him and his final sprint, that is the one of a great Jonas Vingegaard. Almost beat MVDP in a finish like this. IQ 300 if you slow-mo his sprint. Similar to Hinault's...

At this stage of the race, I want to see Matthieu keep la traje de luces, dominate, green jersey hopes maybe...and fight for le maillot jaune. Keep it. Neither Tadej or Jonas want to gift seconds to each other, they will be there. A lone ranger? Remco should give it a shot if he's fine, maybe a...

Teddy Merckx will get this...and more.

Got the medal...nice...beat Cavagna, a reference.

Amazing how the last post in the thread, mine, is now two days old. Having been on this forum for some time, it's like mou are giving up on him. My observation.

If I'm Jonas Vingegaard, clearly the second best GT rider today, I'm just fine...no reason to be panicking. Can I field the dominant team in this Tour? He's super dangerous, but without the best team, odds are tiny. There's no shame being second to Tadej Pogacar, and at least, Jonas is not...

Breathe...Lombardia...exhale...6 GT stage wins....breathe....1'17" time gap to the GT winner...exhale...I disagree, and who cares, in the end Alaf' rules... Romain was more than a stat sheet anyway. As brave as he is/was, let's not forget how smart he is/was. That World Championship was not for...

Merci Romain!

Not enough hype and reactions? I think that mou want to refrain from being overly optimistic. We feel (or at least I do) that what we see is too good to be true. No 18 year-old has ever done this. Hype can change very quickly and what happens next worries me.: "The New Hinault" thread, with the...

Thibaut Pinot in '16, age 26. including the ITT in Romandie ahead of Dumourain with Froome 4th. the Dauphiné stage win vs. Bardet, the ITT French title. Alaphilippe and Pinot in '19. TdF stage 13 ITT : winner and 7th. The next day 1-2 atop Le Tourmalet. There was a moment when there were two...
