Yet another rider disappoints with his choice of shoes.

Choice of color or the lace-up style?

I'm surprised at how hairy Vingo's legs are when he doesn't shave them, maybe he's a manly man after all.

I was thinking more someone from UAE or Visma accidently winning it amongst a breakaway p*ssing contest after the teams try and outmanoeuvre each other. A memorable Marc Soler GC win.
Impossible from UAE. Visma too to be honest. Pogacar and Vingegaard are miles ahead any other GC rider. I don't know if you followed the sport in 2010 but I see a scenario like Contador vs Andy in Tourmalet. Even if they start looking to each other, when one of them attack, they get 30 seconds in a blink of an eye.

I do, though I also remember Alberto losing the Dauphine in similarly surprising fashion that year...

Like I said, Contador didn't have a team.
Pogacar will have:
Politt
Sivakov
Soler
Narvaez
Wellens
I don't remember Contador's team but I can assure you it was full of his buddies (Paulinho and Hernandez for sure)

Tbh 2010 wasn't down to the team but to Brajkovic being (surprisingly) strong enough to stay with Contador on AdH (if I remember correctly).

Oh, and Paulinho was in Brajkovic's team actually. Perhaps he was a spy..

2010 Tour, just mentioned Andy vs Contador battle... you should read the whole conversation
I did read the whole conversation, perhaps you don't follow eh? The whole conversation is about someone surprisingly winning Dauphiné.
You claimed that Contador lost Dauphiné 2014 because of the team (I can agree with that) and then @Tim Cahill gave you an example with Dauphiné 2010 as a race Contador lost "in a similar fashion" which you claimed to be because of the team. And that's what I disagreed on.

I don't know if you realise but the picture you responded to is Janez Brajkovic winning Dauphine.

Tim Cahill mentioned that Contador lost in 2010 and posted a picture of Brajkovič, so it was possible to get confused.

Peyroteo's comment was apparently about the 2014 edition.

You can move on as best friends now :D

So yeah, my bad. Of course not, Brajkovic won due to his insane TT and awful TT raced by Contador. Then he couldn't drop in Alpe d'Huez so Brajkovic won it based on power.
