Roglic vs Kuss in TdF 2024

[Rotted Melon]

Well, looks like everyone else is already maimed and will be on their back foot (feet)? Why not a Roglic vs Kuss in the TdF?

Broken ribs take a long time to heal. A long, long time. Broken scaphoid is a terrible injury, often costing a whole season to recover from. Who else is there to really be up there?

Kuss had to prove himself against Roglic last year without any support and came out ahead. I think he can do it and hope he does.

USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

Kuss came out on top because they were on the same team.

Dude, I'm as American as apple pie, but are you seriously suggesting that Sepp won the Vuelta because he was stronger than Roglic?

 

[Izzyeviel]

Is GC G a joke to you?

maybe if twitter had allowed them race each other we would have a better idea of who was strongest

I find it a bit amusing that with all the unique, lovely things America can boast about you guys are stuck with this expression. Aren't apple pies eaten, pretty much, everywhere?

 

[Netserk]

As American as Monster Trucks.

Interesting comeback after 9.5 years (posting wise, at least). If I wasn't online almost every day, I'd completely forget my login details.

At this point, I'm not sure who will actually be riding the Tour this year. Maybe Eddy Merckx will take a 6th win simply by being the only guy who makes it to Nice.

If you see the movie American Pie you would know they aren’t just for eating

Yeah, because now, we don't know.

recognizing irony is not this boards strong suit is it

whaaaaaaat ?

 

[Potomac]

I thought it was agreed this means Pogacar does the double?

All of your apple pies are mine!

I thought Roglic left for another team because Kuss and Vingegaard beat him.

Don't know what GC G is, so no, I guess not.

I've lurked a lot. I come in and take some information from you guys from time to time as there really isn't anyone in my social circles who follow pro cycling to any conversational extent. I'm certainly no expert, and do not claim to have any insights, but I try to keep up as best I can.

There's a bit of resurgence going on in cycling and motorcycle racing with American participants, so I guess this is what has caused me to write such a speculative post as this one.

You're probably right.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Roglic vs Kuss really didn't turn out to be the story of this tour...

 

[Potomac]

Maybe the Vuelta!
