van Aert with an off day, unfortunately

Maybe Evenepoel sick? If he has health issues better abandon, regardless if its 150K or 20k to the finish

Pogacar attack!!!! OMG!!!! ..... well, no he was just getting a bottle

Depends on the acutual meaning of "difficult" in this context. In Pole Vault, for example, you cannot improve much by the kind of "support" which is discussed in the other part of the forum.

Well Duplantis' achievements in his sport have not been matched pretty much exactely for the last 30 years, as well. So I think this choice was well deserved. Pogacars last year was very impressive, no doubt. But OK, some years there are two outstanding athletes, and in some of the past years...

He positioning was terrible before Gulpenerberg. Around 30, if I saw it right. On Kruisberg he should have tried to close the gap if he felt he had it. Anyway, great race.

A bit unexpected. Almost like Becker winning over Sampras for once.

which is relevant. but not so much if he still manages to finish ahead of them.

We did after the crash. MVP gained about 1 min, mano-a-mano. Will not get a cleaner comparison than that.

MVP should not show his nose at the front here

At the end, for MvP it came down to probably 10s on the last Kwaremont. If he arrives within a few secs at the top of the steepest section, he has a good chance to hang on to Pogi and has decent odds at a sprint. Dont think he would have been dropped at the final Paterberg. But yeah, in a race...

Any more news on how effective CO rebeathing really is? There were some rumors that it not only effects HCT but also muscular metabolism.

The last point is very important. To be able to do extended high intensity training, several times a week. And, of course, also if one intends not only to peak in July, but to be in top shape from March - October, doing several GTs as well as monuments.

Whether a motor can be hidden, depends on how thoroughly one looks for it. If they have to hand in the bikes after the finish line, and a skilled mechanic can have a look - nothing can be hidden. Not sure, thats happening, though. About the existance - there is a video where Tyler Hamilton gets...
