That's such a misrepresentation of 21st century cycling it's not even funny.

I've said similar things about Evenepoel solos in the past, and strangely you didn't disagree as much with that.
If Roglic did an 80km solo, would you like it? I'm all in favour of attacking cycling, whether I like the cyclist or not. But what do I know. I tuned in at 60 km to go to find the race over. It would be great to have the long range attack and a strong chase to leave it up in the air for as long as possible. But I'll take the sledgehammer attack over no attack.

So, tinfoil hat take: is the reason that the big 5 are avoiding each other so much that the big teams want to artificially create a justification for their One Cycling plans?
I don’t think they’re avoiding each other, Remco faces Roglic in PN. Pog changed his schedule to face Vingegaard in PN last year.

Ayuso is in good shape.
He doesn't look bad but he is at the mercy of the chase group who are in semi- sit-up mode..
Seeing quiet upper body and machine like cadence of Pogocar compared to the clods chasing him,night and day different. I hope that Pog doesn't stop for fan photos because that would be super disrespectful
