In the talk referenced above Nils Politt says that there were four more UAE team riders with positive PCR-Test besides Ayuso during the Tour de France (31:08). That was a new piece of information and really interesting.

Yates and Wellens for sure. I think Soler was the other one.In the talk referenced above Nils Politt says that there were four more UAE team riders with positive PCR-Test besides Ayuso during the Tour de France (31:08). That was a new piece of information and really interesting.

These are qualities that qualify me as the greatest poster of all time.When I said Indurain has a way better palmares compared to Pogi, I was talking about GT's. Pogi is still far from Indurain and if he wants to be the undisputed best rider of modern cycling, he needs a Vuelta or a couple GT's more.
Edit: Of course he is the best rider of we talk about charisma, panache, talent but he still needs a couple GT's. It is a matter of time, maybe next year, he will win Tour-Vuelta and this debate is over in my head.
Underrated post.Teddy had another one, which accelerated his evolution for PdB and Isola.
I thought it was Soler singing.View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNYDuqVWr9I
Pogacar was signing a 50 cent song on the radio on stage 20! hahahaha
From what I heard everyone but Almeida and Pogačar tested positive.Yates and Wellens for sure. I think Soler was the other one.

Yes, it was. Riders should get covid (or get a vaccine) before a big competition like a GT.Pogacar testing postive for covid 10 days before the tour was probably the best that could happen.
How about getting a vaccine and then being unable to train properly for a week and feel like ***? Surely a good way to prepare for the Tour.Yes, it was. Riders should get covid (or get a vaccine) before a big competition like a GT.
Yeah, you are right too. This is not an easy situation.How about getting a vaccine and then being unable to train properly for a week and feel like ***? Surely a good way to prepare for the Tour.
If he does Vuelta, he will have 3 GT's with 6 wins.
I'd assume that possible adverse effects lessen the more times you've been infected or vaccinated previously.How about getting a vaccine and then being unable to train properly for a week and feel like ***? Surely a good way to prepare for the Tour.
Maybe, I'd had gotten my 1st vaccine into corona into a 2nd vaccine when I felt like that. 1 week of absolute dirt and I felt it for at least a month, general feeling of tiredness and couldn't really train like I usually do at all. So safe to say I'd rather get the actual virus than get another vaccine, but that probably varies a ton from person to person. In Pog's case I think getting corona maybe had him not training for a day or so, so nothing too major at all and probably better than to get a new vaccine.I'd assume that possible adverse effects lessen the more times you've been infected or vaccinated previously.
Probably best to get it 3 months in advance.How about getting a vaccine and then being unable to train properly for a week and feel like ***? Surely a good way to prepare for the Tour.
I know that is shady clinic conversation, but what if to get infected in winter, saved blood bags full of antibodes and use them prior GT?Probably best to get it 3 months in advance.
Tadej would have won that TT.
Its just getting started with the new program is the word in the peloton so hold on tight. He is the most rare case of specimen cycling have ever seen. Which goes without saying with his new climbing level along with the pure power on all terrain.
I remember that Tour edition fondly (2004)
One bonk away from 7 wins and 7 minutesWas also a narrow second in two other stages in the tour
On the flip side Visma thought they had Pogacar right where they wanted him because of that, till he destroyed them on stage 15.One bonk away from 7 wins and 7 minutes
