That would be great. I havent seen the course yet. But i think roglic just love these conditions of the vuelta. And i like evenepoel too. But i think he is little bit arrogant for his age.
Let's say Roglič didn't have a mechanical today and 3rd place Almeida was 3 minutes down. I would bet a lot of money that G would lose another 20 seconds. In cycling, a lot of the time, it's a lot about how much you are prepared to suffer. When you know you have nothing to gain or lose, your effort just isn't the same. Even for top professionals.
The only thing Thomas could have done differently was not change helmets. (still wouldn't have changed the outcome)
Poor Bouwman gave Roglic his bike like 3 or 4 times this Giro
No way. Yates was the hero.
Little? I hope you are being sarcastic or joking but that isn’t funny. Nearly 860 vertical metres in just over 7 Km is quite incredible. And Thomas still finished 3rd on the stage.
So sad we have to choose between entertaining races like the 2022 Tour where weak riders win and a boring race where the strongest in the race (at least those who didn‘t crash out or catch Covid) win in the end. I think that’s rarely an either/or choice and that entertainment and strong winners don’t correlate. Also, if you love seeing the strongest win, go watch weightlifting! ( I am not liable for the strongest weightlifters possibly being disqualified afterwards)
If you only care about entertainment, go watch WWF wresting. It’s about getting the balance right. Not sure if you’ve raced a bike but those of us who have would understand.
If they extended the time limit more today it would've been one more time followed by footage of Bouwman pissing off the mountain while Thomas was riding past him.
He was talking about the stage 1 ITT which had a climb of like 1.6km at 5%.
The amazing thing on that shot was the other Jumbos jumping up and screaming in horror while Kuss barely reacted at all!
