Mou was right.I hope he get's a chance to be the leader of a GT again. He's stronger than never!
Yes!!! Great win and did a lot of the pacing. Hopefully he can stay within range of the lead by stage 7.
You think so?No podium in this race.
I'm so happy that I seem to be wrong about that 😂You think so?![]()
This. He is too afraid to be honest.We all know his way of pacing climbs is... unconventional. Is there any physiological reason why hes never able to respond to anything but always has watts to spare at the finish, like he can only go in the red once and needs more time to recover from an acceleration than others? Or is he held back because he's too afraid of overextending, and could potentially get better results if he dared to follow? Judging from today and in portugal he evidently has the explosivity to follow if he so decides...
I'm wondering about this because in the portugal tt he also paced it extremely conservatively.
Afraid yes, but I think it's not just nerves, because it's so rigid that it seems almost compulsive. He relies on his power meter in an almost ritualistic or religious kind of way.This. He is too afraid to be honest.
He is not better than last year, just like we saw today. The victory yesterday doesn't mean he improved from last year.
No, but its not like he is better than the other GC riders, just like last year. He is a regular GC rider who is always in the top 10.So he just won as a joke?

What is more impressive is how a portuguese forum member is almost desiring Almeida to fail just because he is in the same team of Pogacar. This climb is Almeida's kryptonite and he did a good job. How can someone saying he is not better when he is doing his best spring campaign ever, beating an all time great like Vingegaard twice in two MTF.The way he finished yesterday and on Fóia proves that he has a new finish on the climbs. We didn't see stuff like that before from him.
Almost as outrageous as if perhaps toby didn't like Vingegaard.What is more impressive is how a portuguese forum member is almost desiring Almeida to fail just because he is in the same team of Pogacar. This climb is Almeida's kryptonite and he did a good job. How can someone saying he is not better when he is doing his best spring campaign ever, besting an all time great like Vingegaard twice in two MTF.
And again, we are talking about a portuguese cycling fan depreciating our best rider ever (or second best).

I wasn't doing any depreciation to Almeida. I just think he is not better than last year. Can i have a different opinion?What is more impressive is how a portuguese forum member is almost desiring Almeida to fail just because he is in the same team of Pogacar.
