Remco and Roglic vs the World

[VayaVayaVaya]

Lance thoguht he could just come back and win, while even Bruyneel, who knew Contadors numbers was kinda laughing at the idea.

But if you ever watch The Move podcast it's unbelievable how arrogant Armstrong comes across. Hincapie seems to find it amusing in some way, like bringing up Contadors name just to troll Armstrong and *** like that.

Yeah, no better way to get Lance to review his true arrogant, adolescent self than to mention the name “Contador.” He still has all the salt for Contador for ruining his comeback.

Even without Contador he still wouldn't have won that Tour. Andy Schleck was too strong and had a great helper in his brother. They crushed Romme-Colombiere stage and there was nothing Lance and his helpers could do.

Things got a little bit spicy today.
Remco has him right where he wants him.

Instead of spending his money in fancy restaurants, PL should buy Fred Wright and bring him to the Giro to give Remco a psychological advantage.

In Waregem ? Do they have fancy restaurants in Waregem ?

Absolutely - but Lance has to have a target to attack, regardless of whether the injury/setback/betrayal was real or imagined.

Roglic is probably going to win Catalunya on the coat tails of Remco and there’s 73 pages of drivel in the Catalunya thread. We’ve fallen way behind. I think some of you don’t believe in miracles. Don’t be afraid to hit the front, post away. But I don’t expect anyone to post for 26 consecutive pages without any contribution from your breakaway companions. Surely, we can up our drivel count here.

If anyone posts for 26 consecutive pages, you'll probably accuse them of unclean posting...

 

[Panda Claws]

Roglic did not pull because he was scared Remco would attack after his legs were sore from a long turn.

Isn't it common for sportsmen to whisper curses and threats so camera won't see it?

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Clearly Remco has watched The Last Dance. “You b*. F you. Now you can work on that time trial game of yours.”

Bring on the Giro and time trials!!! Hopefully it’s a good race and they look out for Almeida, Almida, and anyone else trying to play spoiler.

 

[SHAD0W93]

And heaven forbid one or both aren’t able to finish the race. The forum wouldn’t recover till next year.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I think the main threat will come from the two Gauls: Roglix and Carapax. Along with Almida obviously. By how Ilmaestro talks about these chaps, Roglic, Almeida and Evenepoel are in for a rude awakening.

Don’t forget about Masnada.

LR is ridiculous. “The greatest cyclist who ever lived. That’s right - greater then Eddy Merckx.” About the guy who just put 2 seconds into a Roglic riding his way back into form at age 33 after a tough 12 months. Lol.

How do you think Merckx would have held on on that climb?

[gregrowlerson]

One more to complete the set. What a machine.

After the Giro he may still have the form to win Suisse (if he isn't asked to go to the Tour)?

H2H in grand tours:
Remco 1, Roglic 0
Even if Roglic were to win the giro, and that’s a big IF, he would only draw level with Remco.

Where's the "yawn" + "roll eyes" + "laughing" emoticon?
Much obliged.

 

[SHAD0W93]

Not really fair when one had a devastating injury/return and Covid smack dab in the middle of their first 5 years and the other didn’t. One also has the better/stronger team support.

 

[bNator]

Sorry...
Evenepoel is a terrible skijumper!
Roglic is a terrible footballer!

You have ZERO evidence for that claim!

Would you also count that Vuelta as Wright 1 - 0 Rogla?

Rogla has suffered more from injuries, crashes and covid with relation to those seven one-week stage races.
