    Volta a Catalunya, 23-29 March 2026

    The forum remains open to most. You could try putting half the forum on ignore. I couldn't be arsed myself. This could be a nice race even if Vingo wins but doesn't do the six million dollar man stuff.

    State of the forum 2026

    Milan San Remo has been one of the great loves of my life. What now my love? Now that you're gone. I'd be a fool to go on and on.

    All of these. We are all winners today. Of course, cycling was the main winner today. Tomorrow, it will be pickle ball.

    As a demagogue, fortunately I don't have to bother with democracy. If I had listened to the begrudgers, I wouldn't be where I am today which is in my shed hoping the wife and kids don't find me. MSR is over but we'll always have Paris-Nice.

    The Turchino attack option was a joke. Can some other demagogue take over cause I have to go for a 10k run?

    Milan San Remo is a race where riders coast around for 5 and a half hours (joking and chatting as if they're friends) and things only get serious for the last 53 minutes (gloves off, no prisoners, does your mother stitch?).

    What are you planning on throwing at your tv screen? A banana skin? I view this race as a potential banana skin for Pog. Even if he gets a gap on Poggio, how does he stay away on the descent?

    UAE will plan to attack on Cipressa, be in a position to attack on Poggio, del Toro will set up Pog, MvdP will follow and win. I'll be watching to see what Alaphilippe is going to do.

    Question Tour de France: 2023 Vingegaard vs 2025 Pogacar

    With disposable threads such as these it's important to go off on tangents constantly so that there's no chance of anyone building a coherent argument. I commend this thread whatever the motive.
