Mate, not including yates in the tour is a suicide move. He is literally the 2nd best climber in the team and the 3rd best climber in the world.
if Visma pulls on a hill of, for example, 12 km 6% and there are Mcnulty and Sivakov in front of Pog, he needs 375W approx to keep up with that rhythm, and if he is behind Yates and Majka, he needs 390W to keep up with that, because I don't care who is the 3 best hill climber if he doesn't fit in my team and take into account stages with more hills and stages in a row and how then Pog won't be exhausted and that can be easily solved... same as the heat problem
I didn't see Vingo behind Kuss except in 1k when Kuss prepares an attack for Vingo on a 10%+ slope where surfing is not important, otherwise Kuss is somewhere at the end of the peloton, he hides and then suddenly comes forward and with Vingo there were always these heavyweights and Kelderman , this year Jorgensen will be the best signing of any team in the last 3-4 years
In that case you don’t have another dependably elite climber( I didn’t think they would let Del Toro go and we don’t know his 3 week capabilities) who can stay with the small group on the 2nd-to-last climb or not far behind on final climb as insurance policy in case of flat, other mechanical, off day. It true there’s a low % chance of needing it, but if one of those does happen the Tour is lost right there. IDT Roglic would have won the Giro last year if Kuss wasn’t there to pace him during Rog’e off day in the mountains
you don't know how much it means to constantly save 10-15W for three weeks, Pog is the best ever and fortunately this year there is no Majka in the team for the Tour and I assume that Yates will be ahead of Ayuso in the train
Visma thinks of every detail, from cold drinks, heat training, nutrition, to who is ahead of whom in the train, cold vests, mattresses, pillows, and if the UAE approaches everything in an amateur way, it ultimately brings victory in 3 weeks

Ciciban is term usually used for toddlers in our region. It is also quite known producer of shoes for young children from Slovenia
It would be reffered as "Mickey mouse race" in English speaking world.

I'm very anxious to see what @CyclistAbi does have to say in this thread.
if that Abi is for Roglić, let me tell you right now, brother, I'm sorry I didn't mention him at all, but I promised myself that I would only mention here the real contenders for the Tour, and that's not a ski jumper, even though I love jumping and I was 19 years old when I was last time on Planica

Pog will perform at the Giro for the rest of his career, that's not information, but my opinion, he loves Italy, the fans, pasta, pizza, it's close to his heart 20 times more than the Tour and after winning the double this year, I think he'll go for 5-6 Giro in a row
What happened to this thread? It seems like whenever a rider has no chance of winning the Tour any more.
The thread goes ballistic.

A Pogacar fan said that Roglic is a ski Jumper and that he has no chance of winning the Tour. How do you allow this disrespect to Roglic @CyclistAbi ?
Pogi and Rogla are always messing around, making Jonas a bit nervous, i'm good.
What’s been rumored for quite some time now, is a done deal according to HLN: Marc Hirschi will ride for Tudor Pro Cycling in 2025.
the best news of the day for Pogačar
the best news of the day for Pogačar
In football terms, Hirschi was the 1st scorer in the 2nd league last year, when you transfer him to the 1st league with serious guys, he doesn't score a goal for half a year.....
Some crew, you know the ones... been coming in here. You understand.
I think the best signing of the year for the UAE would be Arensman, whose contract expires this year, I would consider him the ideal man for the Pogačar train, ahead of Sivakov and behind Del Toro, an ideal signing

I think it would be a bit harsh to say that Pogacar has no chance of winning the Tour any more.
That's why Roglic has a chance, so Luke Plapp leaves him in the hills, what we're talking about and that's after the altitude, so it would be better if he stayed with his wife in Monaco, it would save effort and time.... what kind of drivers Roglic, Visma make 20 % better than what is realistic and we are watching this right now from Roglica, don't be children...
Blimey, this thread has exploded a bit since I last checked in. I took @mou's first comments with a pinch of salt but it is pretty clear to me now, he is genuine. @mou have you p*ssed off UAE? You were being followed by Jeroen Swart yesterday and now he has unfollowed
I think I know who @mou is but don't want to expose his identity if it means he stops posting....
