It was on Evenepoel and MVdP to respond when and if Pog would attack. They was caught off guard. Because relying on the helpers to bring him back is a mistake. It just delays the reaction and effort that was needed from them earlier.
Even more impressive in a very very truly historic fashion like noone has seen before no matter what anyone say.
Not just that , he is the best in history
Not even close, Pogi did it in way harder era. We are watching the greatest cyclist ever, there is No debate about goat anymore.
100% agree, this comparision between remco and goat have to end, its crazy
Not to mention the Italian interlude until Tadej dropped him. All of those elements aided the win; it's not like he didn't take some moments to reestablish his strategy to the end. Lots of legs, missed opportunities and wasted efforts by the other principals.
Its hopeful thinking nothing else and theres a very few fans doing that for another one too its w.e at this stage
.
We saw a lot of action from Remco today.
Remco was training for joining Red Bull, it gives you wings. Flap flap.
It was so difficult to watch this part of the race. Hopefully he could recover. Tratnik was pivotal for Pogi.
Tactics have improved a lot. Every detail is planned to perfection, in every race. They ride with purpose and a clear plan.
Ciciban race like the prophet used to say
Next year he will be double WC. TT is full of hills
Pogi will not be denied. He will win it eventually.
As long as MVDP exists and is at the peak of his powers it will be hard for those specific races, but not impossible.
The chance increases. MVDP timed his attack perfectly in 2023. This year he was the one to close down Pog and held it together. Sacrificing himself, for his teammate.
If he can hold off an elite field like this while essentially solo for the vast majority of 2 hours 15 minutes then maybe the strategy of team drilling the Capi at max speed then going from the bottom of the Cipressa then into TT mode is no longer just a pipe dream.
