Mathias Vacek the new worlds strongest man?

 

[Red Rick]

Because he paced a hill with 50 guys in his wheel?

Please.

and then did the leadout

 

[noob]

Biggest leap this year?

 

[zlev11]

give those doctors a raise after this giro

 

[Netserk]

Sad how mid Ciccone was before he crashed out.

 

[ashhutch1997]

Yeah was waiting for this thread. Mads Pedersen has been full gas in the classics, then rocks up to the Giro and dominates. Literally riding on the front and destroying the bunch everyday, without running out of juice or having a bad day. Fridays stage win was laughable.

It's the broccoli, haven't you seen Lidl's add during the comercial breaks?

They had him conserve Energy, that's almost a crime with him. He got 2 weeks of rest because of his muscle injury, so 2014 Maijka on steroids style KoM hunting at the Tour?
And yeah, the whole team has clearly stepped up this season.

 

[Rou]

All eyes are on del Toro while these guys have been cooking the whole peloton for two weeks. Too bad that Ciccone left or we might have seen some '' magic'' from him as well.

Don't worry, he'll ask his buddy Sinner for a good physio to recover from the muscle injury and then he'll be flying in the mountains at the Tour...

 

[zlev11]

yeah Ciccone probably would have ripped if he made it to the mountains

My God Ciccone. Always liked him, but wtf this level he's hitting nowadays.

Friendship with Sinner has some benefits...

Their staff list is just wall-to-wall dodgy such that it isn't even necessary to point one or two out, but they seem to have amped things up in the past couple of years, maybe a change in protocol around 2023/4 or so?

Pedersen's climbing displays in PN were a real fan-favourite.

But it was all heart, right?

Big bucks demand results and that means the guys can get their hands on the good stuff (and of course when the GOAT's about, everyone else can take what the heck they want as nobody beats the GOAT). Oh yeah and all the carbs plus those aero socks. Unbeatable combination!
