    WvA in the break, he will wait for Jonas and Pogi on the last climb and he then will drop Pogi (again) by going nuclear.

    Giro d'Italia Giro d’Italia 2024, Stage 7: Foligno – Perugia, 40.6k (ITT)

    This is all due to the amazing TT gear at Visma, with his old horrible Bora gear he would have been minutes slower..... /s

    Teams & Riders The "MVP" Mathieu Van der Poel Road Discussion Thread

    Great spring campaign. 10th, 1st, 1st, 3rd in the monuments while wearing the rainbow jersey! In the current peloton, only Pogacar seems to me to be able to reproduce something similar (probably even better). I'm very curious about what they decide on the rest of his 2024 schedule.

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

    Congratz to Pogacar, he was outstanding (as expected). Not expected (by me): Bardet! Great result, chapeau! Van der Poel third by riding smart (with the exception of being too far back during the crash). Great result, not as impressive as I had hoped. But we all knew that he would have a hard...

    2024 La Flèche Wallonne Femmes (not in LA), April 17

    Have you ever seen an explanation of why her CX dominance doesn't translate into results on the road? Maybe it is just my expectations, but I expected to see her in the top 5 regularly.

    Every time I see the Van Dijke brothers this year, I think they should be the domestiques of the Dutch OS team.

    I hope nobody still wearing a rain jacket will win.

    Don't get me wrong. I would love for him to win. But I think there are a few riders that looked stronger today.

    Van Dijke responds. Do they really think that Benoot will be the fastest on the final climb? They should let other teams react.

    LA fleche wallone thread
