[Savant12]

cycling back to being a joke. we had a few good years.

Just seen the Vuelta, have. you?

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Whatever

 

[No Excuses]

The generous cannibal

 

[Rou]

It's a gift, but not in the way you think it is.

Just 2 months ago I was deluded enough to lie to myself about Pog's actions.
Now I am free like Neo from the Matrix.

I know we're not supposed to like Simmons but I sort of can't help myself. He was also a pretty popular rider with roadside fans during the Tour, from what I saw. He does ride with a lot of panache.

Politics aside, he's one of the most aggressive riders in the peleton. Difficult not to like him for that alone in the current era of cycling.

Yeah right...

 

[fenns]

I'm glad I didn't bet on that race

cycling back to being a joke. we had a few good years.

Pogacar has been the most competitive rider in the peloton all year. He wanted to show camaraderie in a team full of selfish.

 

[YavorD]

Everyone who put money on Pogacar to win the race must be furious.

Teddy is leading by example

 

[Devil's Elbow]

So, the day in short:

Race cancelled
Fourth Del Toro win in five races
UAE one-two
Sprint (potentially) decided by mechanical

Absolutely brilliant, sport in great shape, no notes.

Everyone who put money on Pogacar to win the race must be furious.

Anyone who bets big on sport or anything else has only themselves to blame for any losses.

 

[KoopaCycling]

Just like i felt every time i've seen this before, i don't like the gifting of races.
Rather Pogacar just won this. Just as i rather seen other team leaders just win it in the past.
It's gonna keep happening in the future by other riders as well. and everytime it happens, i won't like it whilst the world celebrates the sport- and teammanship.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

 

[KZD]

Pogi the magnanimous.

Win nº 85 of the season for UAE,

Three Americans in the top4, impressive.

 

[Cycling111]

Just seen the Vuelta, have. you?

Vuelta 2023.
They literally gave a GT to domestique.

 

[Ulfhednar]

Why aren't we supposed to like Simmons? He is a great rider and fantastic personality for the sport. Not everyone has to think exactly the same to be liked...good grief!

 

[Mayomaniac]

No Pog of Greed?

 

[Peyroteo94]

McNulty gained 1" on Pogacar? Eheheh

This was a gift, in GdL we will see both racing together and I'm pretty sure Pogacar will gain 3 minutes on McNulty.

 

[Cycling111]

The only thing that bothers me is that he gave it to McNulty. He doesn't deserve it because of his constant selfishness, last time at the Giro. He could have given it to Narvaez or Wellens if they'd been with him, not McNulty.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

UAE's total domination, wow. Gaps bigger than expected. Congrats to McNulty on a great race. Not bad performance by Pog.

 

[bNator]

It's a gift, but not in the way you think it is.

In what way do I think it is? If you’re going to tell me that Pog may secretly be annoyed that McNulty managed to drop Simmons I agree with you…

 

[postmanhat]

Another great ride by Barre. Got dropped repeatedly early on, then again in the final selection, and finishes sixth. Have said it before, but seems amazing that IWG were the only team to see his potential.
