I'm not a big fan of Wout Van Aert but i feel so bad for him. Such a strong rider that's not afraid to take a turn but got Sagan'd once again just like in the Worlds last year.

Can we change Pog's thread title to "Pogacar is the new Pidcock"...

Almeida with a ninja like 13th in the end
He was kind of a dark horse. Expected to see more of him, but not terrible either.Almeida with a ninja like 13th in the end
The classic problem of being so strong that everybody knows you'll beat them at the end. People would be unlikely to help him anyway, but after his Tour exploits why would anybody collaborate with Wout, especially after McNulty was dropped by Carapaz - you're fighting for silver but tiring yourself out if you collaborate, and you're fighting for silver but being fresher if you don't. If he hadn't been as strong in the Tour he might have got better collaboration or, hell, if Roglič hadn't crashed out, so that he expended his energy more as a domestique than as a stagehunter, but then again would you trade the Tour that WVA just had to upgrade the Olympic medal from silver to gold? I don't think I would, but YMMV.I'm not a big fan of Wout Van Aert but i feel so bad for him.

Pog's wheels are round. Wout stretched out his wheels oblong-like to nab the win.Can we change Pog's thread title to "Pogacar is the new Pidcock"...
No offense to McNulty but the US will win a ton of medals so delighted for the 3 winners.Quality podium and glad Carapaz won. Would have been nice if McNulty had had the legs.
The BBC are absolute clowns.
I like Bettiol to win this but don't write off McNulty. He looks good and we know he's got a great TT engine. Exactly the type of guy who gets let go for just a bit too much time while the more out and out favourites look at each other
