Team Jumbo-Visma

Well, there was a reason I took him in my cq-team... I'm always really bad at remembering particular situations, but there were hints... but I hadn't expected anything close to this!

I was ironic of course.
There's an ocean between once being a solid domestique on a mountain stage and podiuming the Tour.

Sepp Kuss what the ***?? If he was Eastern European there would be a witchhunt.

I thought he had Slovenian roots... but then I now know Slovenia is not Eastern Europe...

Now I have to imagine a Kazakh rider of Volga German descent named Sepp Kuss, I'd rather cheer for him.

Re Vingegaard: I think he might as well be clean as not clean and vice versa.

It seems he has been a bit much to handle. It's kinda funny to watch the video from last year inside la vuelta 2020

I am reminded of Soler when I see how they talk to and about Vingegaard. However not nearly as hot-headed as Soler, but the thing with doing too many moves on his own.

Makes me think Jonas main problem has been pacing, taking direction and more than anything; keeping it cool.

Rogla seems to see Jonas as his little brother and seems to have said in June to Jonas that he could win the tour. Zeeman tried to shut Rogla up lol.

Idn, I just think that the reason Jonas had so little proven before the tour was because he was such a loose cannon that they hadn't dared to test him and hence he shocked them.( Well everyone apart from Rogla then.)

New record for Roglic today..

 

[Ghirmay4Ever]

Roglic looking like he was riding a motorbike up the mountain again today closing gaps in a handful of seconds, always just doing the bare minimum easily then the magical uphill sprint for bonus seconds again. Most boring GC rider I've seen in ages, at least make your doping exciting.

"Make doping fun again?"

To be fair this is a business transaction after all, and he’s not getting any younger. I don’t really blame riders for playing it safe although some are more boring than others. I’ve never seen him as that bad of an offender though.

That depends on his performance

I don't know where to post this, but since it is a comparison of sorts of Rabo and JV maybe it fits here. I am just wondering if the riders consumes as much alcohol today during races as they did back when Dekker was competing (his book was kinda shocking)

Because if not I wonder how much those amounts of alcohol and partying effected recovery. I mean logically just taking alcohol out and adding sleep should change recovery a whole lot for the better? And hence you'd need slightly less doping and since you can't dope as heavily as back then maybe you have to drink less.

Just a thought.

I don't know how other riders don't test positive just from riding next to WVA on the bunch.

 

[Ghirmay4Ever]

Stop the train, I want to get off. Absolutely absurd. Two Mapei Paris-Roubaix results occurring in the same week.

 

[therealthing]

Hahahahahahaha

 

[Ghirmay4Ever]

Hahahahahahaha

You can't do anything but laugh at this point, it's obscene yet hilarious.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Wow

 

[Pantani_lives]

That was a clean sweep. Well, a sweep anyway.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Worst weekend in cycling history. Competition is dead, we are watching the corpse now.

 

[Ricco']

Is J-V vs. UAE the Marvel vs. DC of cycling?

Standalone dominion on shorter stage races before the big mashup at the Tour?

 

[JosefK]

Hello.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Lol. We are talking about an attack that Yates, Quintana, Schachmann, Vlasov couldn't follow uphill. And yet Laporte can do it no problem.

Christopher Laporte can now drop Gt winners uphill

 

[Devil's Elbow]

That was a clean sweep. Well, a sweep anyway.

This sweep was about as clean as one that's just been up a chimney.

high octane not normal

Peloton à deux vitesses

 

[Ilmaestro99]

If Jumbo signed Coquard or Boudat, could they drop the whole Paris Nice peloton on a climb?
