    And I would like to add that attacking "en danseuse" makes no sense at all on cobblestones, especially when they're wet. On the contrary – it's better to stay seated to keep pressure on the rear wheel and maintain traction. This is quite different from attacking on a long climb on paved roads...

    Teams & Riders The Remco Evenepoel is the next Eddy Merckx thread

    I found out the real reason why Remco stopped in the TdF. He had tickets for Tomorrowland.

    I was exactly thinking the same thing. I mean the latter (Rozman). Not sure, but might backfire on Pog. As shared in another post, the network (Slovenian) is there.

    I do not debate the fact that Jonas is not charismatic. I do agree 100%. Again, I’m not a Jonas fan. But to claim he has no talent. I wish I had the talent of the Lanterne Rouge in the TdF.

    To claim that Vingegaard has no talent — someone who has won the Tour de France twice — is honestly quite ridiculous. Does you truly understand what it takes to perform at that level? Have your ever even ridden a Gran Fondo or a local kermesse race? I say this not as a Vingegaard fan — I'm...

    Sure he knows what he is talking about. However, that does not mean he does not exaggerate.

    Perhaps your post was meant to be ironic, but I would like to counter this. I have some serious doubts about this claim. Let’s break it down: the Alpe d’Huez climb is 13.8 km at an average gradient of 8.1%. For a pro, that’s around a 40-minute effort. Claiming a 5-minute difference means a...

    I think it’s fair to be cautious with anything Antoine Vayer posts — his tone is often provocative, and he has a tendency to overstate things. That said, not everything he shares is nonsense, and in this particular case, it’s worth separating the messenger from the message. Regarding ITTP...
