They have a unprecedented amount of the best talents in the sport along with the top riders which makes em best today, its rather unique combination to this extent compared to the past where lets say Sky was the best a few years, gonne be funny how it plays out. They will just get better.

Yes, with the amount of (young) talent they have it's pretty guaranteed UAE will dominate for a while to come. I personally like to pull for the underdogs, but like I said I like some of the UAE riders as individuals, so I can't completely loathe on UAE as a whole.

No, but it was still silly because you criticised them for making Pericas ride for Majka who then turned out not to be able to do anything, when in actuality it was completely the other way around.

In fact, Pericas showed himself to be quite the thief.

First of all, you are wrong, as there was no case of 'ridiculing them to an unwarranted degree'.. You can disagree with my disagreement of said choices, but that is something else. Secondly, that's not how thievery works, making you wrong on both accounts. Do better.

What I disagreed with was that you simply misrepresented what happened to further your anti-UAE agenda. Maybe you didn't see that Majka pulled first, I don't know, but what you said happened simply didn't happen.

The problem is UAE is too strong right now. There is only one solution to prevent Pogacar from winning all important hilly classics and It is when everyone is against him, trying to antecipate his move with strong riders. However, how can you isolate him when he will have as domestiques guys like:
Christen
Del Toro (LBL before the Giro)
Novak
Narvaez
Sivakov
Majka
This won't be his team but he just needs to have 3 of these guys to kill any kind of action before Pogacar's attack.

Pogacar isolates himself most of the time. Most of the time he attacks in the last 50km's if not earlier

Day 2 is sprint day! Time for Vino to fill the team with sprinters with as many as possible in the top 10.
Otherwise, Girmay is here, so he's today fav (according to PCS) but a few other goodies here including the "Man with the Beard" Geoffrey Soupe.
