    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard: The Butterfly Effect

    To be able to do that, you need a very solid base. Not sure, if he can manage to get a very solid base until end of June, given the circumstances. Exactely that was Pogi's problem last year (at least one of his problems).

    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    Well in chess (not commenting on, to what degree this is a sport - but its also takes a combination of talent and training), there is this one guy much better than anybody else for over a decade now. He is so much better, that he even became bored of defending his world title....

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard: The Butterfly Effect

    I would very much like to see a Vingegard in competitive shape in France on 29th June. But - I somhow have the feeling his form then might be enough for a Cyclo maybe, but not for the Tour, unfortunately

    Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2024 Stage 2: San Francesco al Campo – Santuario di Oropa (Biella), 161.0 km

    Bora quite OK, with 2 riders who seem able to fight for the podium. Thomas is doing what he usually does.

    Who is the best descender (modern time) ?

    It seems difficult to compare descending with very different bike technology (frames, brakes, wheels, tyres, ...). I would make the cut somewhere in the mid 90ies, but it can be discussed.

    2024 Giro d'Italia, Stage 1: Venaria Reale - Torino, 140 km (Saturday, May 4)

    Cost-Benefit wise, this stage was not very convincing by UAE. Yes, Pogi took 10" from some riders. But I have my doubt UAE can race like this for 3 weeks.

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    just wonder what attributes are left for Vingegaard then, who smashed Pogi fair and square in two TdF? Don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of Pogi also.

    Emanuel Buchmann thread

    well the current Chancellor is not very charismatic - but still, its more than 2 years by now......:)

    Emanuel Buchmann thread

    Bora seems to be good at providing bad leadership and team culture. If it happens once it might be a mistake - but if such things happen over and over again, you know its bad team culture.

    Jonas Vingegaard Rasmussen, the new alpha mutant

    Well, I think he gained 2s on the first corner alone already. So I'd assume he gained more like 20-30s from riding technique on the ITT.

    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    Seems, it needs a Jonas Vingegaard (or a tactical sprint from a small group) to crack Pogacar. Which is still much more entertaining than nobody been able to challenge Lance (apart from Ullrich in 2003), for example.

    Liege Bastogne Liege-7 hour monument, Sunday, April 21, 2024

    Impressive win. But not completely unpreceeded. 1998 Bartoli was kind of equally impressive, for instance.

    Liege Bastogne Liege-7 hour monument, Sunday, April 21, 2024

    I suppose he also had a hard spring. Or does anybody believe he spent the past few weeks at the pool? All this to-the point trianig sessions, maybe at altitude, can probably be as exhausting as reces.

    Ben Healy is moving his upper body more during one race than Pogi during his entire career.

    Liege Bastogne Liege-7 hour monument, Sunday, April 21, 2024

    About 50km from Liege: about 3°C currently, 30min ago there was some snow. Hope everybody has his legwarmers with him, and full gloves
