2024 Zurich WC routes revealed

[sam6]

Overall Pog is obviously a better rider, but in a one day race on such terrain the balance of power between the two is not at all clear cut.

This Route suits Pogi very well too. These short explosive climbs are ideal for him. And Pogi has got the better sprint which is a big plus for him as Evenepoel will have to drop him which is unlikely. However, I would say there is more chance of Pogi winning solo than Evenepoel winning solo

Pogacar and Evenepoel 90 km duo attack to show the world how big their balls are, Pogacar to win the sprint.

I can't help but wonder if Wout is going to surprise us with his performance. He didn't show much at the Tour, but those three weeks had to be good training. He had a few good sprint showings, so he's not that far off the mark.

Or maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part? We shall see!

2021 Wout is Gone and probably not coming back

2023 Wout was headed toward a two-up sprint with MVDP in the Roubaix velodrome until he flatted. And then put in some monstrous efforts in the 2023 Tour. That’s not that long ago—though it doesn’t tell me where his form/fitness is now.

He couldn't even beat Laporte mano a mano in GW though.

Not to mention Cavendish who became the greatest ever a month ago.

Largely I agree with this having seen the season Pog has had, but I do believe that in this type of race they are close enough in ability for it not to be a foregone conclusion. What makes that duel intriguing is that while Pog is more likely the get the gap, Remco is the more likely to be able to hold and consolidate the one. In the end it could just come down to kind of form they are able to build for the late season.

I'd rate Sami Sanchez above Cav, but thats just me.

Why is it that both you and Netserk have that avatar? What's the point of a bet if both participants get the prize no matter the outcome?

Not even I would do that.

Whenever they post right after one another, I'm always hoping someone with a close up of JV's face will post next (I still don't approve of their avatars).

Then stop calling yourself a fan!

I dno, ask Netserk. He did in voluntarily, I didn't..

@Valv.Piti has zoomed in a bit, so it's not the same.

Right....

Stupid me.

Why? Cavendish is the best sprinter in history, while Samu isn't even the best Asturian ever.

Aaah, so it's one of those "find the differences" game?
Except, just one difference.

Yes, and I dont rate pure sprinters like him at all. I'll remember Sami more, and I also think he just flat out was a better bike rider. It was just so much more easy for Cav to win lots and lots of stages.

But alright, then lets say Purito Rodriguez

I just don't share that same hatred towards sprinters.
