Thanks!
this, when Rogla doesnt win San Luca we will know he is in declineVery entertaining edition with fireworks as soon as they hit the circuit. Roglic owns San Luca.
Looks like DQS are alternating their leadership duties and soon Fausto will be the leader. Probably in lombardia
What an honor to ride for Masnada whilst wearing the world champion Jersey. Julian is a great man but also a lucky man.They will be joined by Loulou.
Don't forget Almeida though.
Thanks, and almeida, and almeida ahah.
His mil is severely ill I believe? See @Tinnekeisabella up thread.I'm perplexed by Pogacar's dismal performance, for if his post-Tour season amounts to a precipitous decline, then would it not be better to pack it in and plan for next year. He was third at the Olympic's road race, already a sign of fatigue given his Tour form, and nowhere to be seen at the Worlds. Now +10 minutes off pace at the Giro dell'Emila, whilst Roglic after crashing out of the Tour and winning the Vuelta is back to his best? Wtf gives?

He may have just given up cause he missed the first splitt bh.I'm perplexed by Pogacar's dismal performance, for if his post-Tour season amounts to a precipitous decline, then would it not be better to pack it in and plan for next year.

Apologies for the late-coming. I don't live on this forum. I guess then racing is a nice distraction, even if his performances would suggest pulling the plug and prepare for next season.I know QS are called the wolf pack. I also see t

Did you see the way he attacked from the first time up San Luca and then went on to continuously expend energy for Almeida? Not to mention he really showed he is over, as in it's so passe, not being able to dive bomb down descents? I'd give him an 8 just for those things today. He's only 21 and has not even finished a GT yet, let alone been the moral winner of a Tour only to be piped on the line by a mutant ninja turtle. Give the lad a break, let's see what he will be capable of doing. I think much.His rouleur skills vs his pure climbing skills.
I think his rouleur ability is the best in the world and him being a world class hilly one day racer is already confirmed. So in the worst case scenario that his climbing comes short for GTs, he's still a world class one day racer.
If by giving him a break you mean "Name him the best in the world at something he hasn't shown yet" then I aint giving any breaksDid you see the way he attacked from the first time up San Luca and then went on to continuously expend energy for Almeida?

No, I mean an objective analysis of his stature given his late-coming into the sport and his actual achievments thus far. Only Pog and Bernal can claim beter, but now? So let's wait and see.If by giving him a break you mean "Name him the best in the world at something he hasn't shown yet" then I aint giving any breaks
Red Rick in his post literally calls Remco the best rouleur in the world and a world class one day racer. What would be an objective analysis in your view? Calling him a better climber than Pantani at his peak?No, I mean an obective analysis of his stature given his late-coming into the sport and his actual achievments thus far.

No, neither was Indurain.Red Rick in his post literally calls Remco the best rouleur in the world and a world class one day racer. What would be an objective analysis in your view? Calling him a better climber than Pantani at his peak?
True. That's an objective observation.No, neither was Indurain.
Yes, but Indurain went on to win 5 Tours.True. That's an objective observation.
