Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

[ivanic]

How can you not think of an motor after today's attack, he looks like on a e-bike...

This guy is chatting with his team helper while destroying the best riders in the world. RIP pro cycling, this sport is dead.

this sport is dead.

Pogacar worse than Armstrong.

Ebike goes wroooom. When will people finally start to believe they are mechanically assisted with a top notch doping program on top.

I'm sorry, I refuse to believe there is motor doping.

Lance was just ONE race a year, can't even compare the two.

Who is "they" and why aren't they keeping up with Pogačar?

 

[Extinction]

He increases his lead on the flat against Remco. It started in Strade and just kept going. It's sickening under Gianetti-Matxin.

 

[Ripper]

Super amusing that even with the crappier aerodynamics, on the flatter terrain he's putting time into Remco the time trialest.

Next year the pogster will get a haircut or do something else insignificant that will reportedly be the reason for even bigger winning margins.

Remco to retire from the sport and start a car dealership

 

[ashhutch1997]

Seriously, when will commontators and media start asking questions, Sky got crucified for much less.

 

[frenchfry]

Reminds me of Geneviève Jeanson, and we all know how that ended.

 

[repoman]

The problem is froome was like jonas, when he was younger he was nobody

Froome always made big watts, that's why he was hired in the first place. He was big and fat and made lots of power, perfect wind blocker. Then he dropped 11kg. Froome is way more believable than Pogacar.

 

[Ripper]

At some point laddie might just bin it because he ends up going too fast

 

[Extinction]

Perfluorocarbons, Gianetti knows something about it...

UAE Tour in February is a training race for these guys. What did Vingegaard do in 2020 - 46th in the Vuelta? 105th in the stage 13 TT? You are not being objective. Please do not resurrect the fisherman excuse.

As I keep repeating, this is very obvious arms race. Giannetti was spanked in 2022 and 2023. So he's upped the ante in 2024. But what Vingegaard achieved despite his massive April crash, injuries and hospitalization is frankly every bit as suspect than even Pogacar's dominance.

Mentioning results like that are complete nonsense. Was Vingegaard a team backed GC contender in that Vuelta or was he a dom?

 

[Ripper]

Comparatively, Remco is entirely believable in his accelerations and where he does well and does poorly, the observable biomechanics when he races, and his good and bad days. Makes for an interesting contrast

Nobody doing motor doping would be so stupid and pull off things like this.

Once again Pogacar has humiliated Evenepoel. So what happens in the next years. Why would Soudal want to keep Remco on this salary, when his contract is up? Why would anyone else ofter Evenepoel a better deal. You see Pogacar is destroying the sport economically, because if the others aren't invested in anymore, it's because of sheer resignation. I've never seen anything like this.

Exactly, sponsors will pull out and it'll be the death of the sport. I think him being popped would actually be better for cycling at this point.

Mapei will bring out bigger guns next year.

They will not let Saunier Duval win unopposed

 

[Ripper]

I'm going to drink quadruple strength Kool-Aid infused with extra tablespoons of maple syrup during my hard ride today.

I'll probably throw up, but I might just set a PR

 

[solo80k]

Well, the legend says Remco is still yet to finish second...🤣

 

[ashhutch1997]

He's not even tired.

 

[Extinction]

It's such a farce. Remco was very good today and yet Pogi gave him 3 minutes! Did you see the hug between Tadej and Mauro? They make a mockery of it!

 

[kingjr]

Hey, how's everyone holding up in here?

But JB is banned for life.

 

[Extinction]

Who is Froome? Have you noticed nobody talks about him anymore and nobody will talk about his destroying Contador again. Nothing else matters, but Pogacar and Gianetti-Matxin.

Depends. If you (think you) own the people who (should) control you, then you might end up flying very, very close to the sun.
