I'm sure Pogacar is overjoyed with the results he has achieved in big races this season that have allowed him to win the UCI Ranking. Pretty sure he'll celebrate it harder than if he won TDF.

He still has a lot of points at stake with Il Lombardia coming up.I'm sure Pogacar is overjoyed with the results he has achieved in big races this season that have allowed him to win the UCI Ranking. Pretty sure he'll celebrate it harder than if he won TDF.
Pogacar vs Masnada round 2 coming up! That's exciting, I hope Pogacar gets plenty of sleep in the hotel rooms to be at his best for the fightHe still has a lot of points at stake with Il Lombardia coming up.
Man I already loost the Danish vote with that, and it's like 75% of the forum. Was not a good idea .You already got a bad start with misspelling his name.
I think this deserves a little bit of a campaign before we reach an election day.

Isn't van Aert quite close as well? And I don't think he has to defend any points (unless PR21 points are somehow only deducted in October)>Remco will als lose 365 UCI points from last years Italian races and Chrono des Nations.
Luckily he's that interested in getting first on the UCI ranking that he's riding in Bunche next week to get the easy .1 points!!!
Pogacar will be defending 625 points. He's around 120 points up right now so if he just does decent in the Italian races he's riding he should still be in first at the end of the season.
In all seriousness declaring your own superiority in intelligence anonymously on the Internet is quite funny, especially on such a non-intellectual topic .
I did identified the joke , I said it was funny.I'm not only more intelligent but also much better at identifying a joke than you are.

But to be honest most jokes go over my head on the Internet when sarcasm is involved

Lmao what a shambles of a race.Not sure if was mentioned before in this thread, but Eenkhoorn allready congratulated Evenepoel with 3 rounds to go. He also wondered openly to Evenepoel how 'fat' the envelope of Senechal would be.
Eenkhoorn also said that van Baarle for example didn't even know until late that Evenepoel was in the first group.

So basically QS just racing like a trade team at the WC again. Damn.When Senechal started working at the front Bardet came up to him and there was a short discussion between them where it was clear from the hand gestures they did not agree and Senechal continued to work.
Bardet quite clearly was the smartest in that group constantly on the wheel of Remco but never taking any pulls. They didn't really show Remco riding away but I think he lost it in the corners at about 1,7k from the line. After Bardet realised Remco had gone he was also the one with the most urgency to go all in to close the gap realising that was the race.
But I once found some video from the 2008 race, and I don't quite see the race as you describe it. The Italians were dominating and attacking again and again as the race came closer to the finish, and two Danes fought desperately to hang on, deservedly securing a bronze medal to Matti Breschel.
It's pretty ridiculous he got over 1700 points in 5 racedays since the Tour. There are way too many points for grab in 1 day races that aren't monuments/WC.If Van Aert finishes the season as number 1 in the World Tour ranking at the end of the season it just shows how little sense it makes.
Are you trying to convince me that Arnaud de Lie hasn't had a better season than Jai Hindley, Richard Carapaz, or Dylan van Baarle?It's pretty ridiculous he got over 1700 points in 5 racedays since the Tour. There are way too many points for grab in 1 day races that aren't monuments/WC.
hmm, yes, the Italians made the course indeed. What I remember is that Bettini was the great favorite and everyone was looking at him. When the others discovered that Bettini never ever was going to get back to the front, for some other favorites the race was over as well. I remember Bettini cleary showing during the end of the race that he was taking goodbye to his win the year before. If I remember correctly Gesink was in the final move as well.
In a couple of years. Maybe the UCI will react to the criticism and change a thing here and there. That will postpone the effect a little.
Getting rid of earpieces in those races has been a buff for riders like Evenepoel
