No posts today, eh?

RhD posted in the Thread Planning thread that she considered opening a thread about him even though she was evidently aware of the existence of this thread as shown by her having posted in it. Inexplicable behaviour.
But yes, that was a magnificent performance. I had lost a little hope for him after two somewhat mediocre years but he has certainly revived the hype with his performances the last week and especially today.

It was one post ago, that's the only time unit that counts here.

Great effort by Madouras.
Many "climbers" could probably do better in Flemish hills than we think. Only Roubaix is for the the pure specialists.
I don't think it's that that different from Strade Bianche where many climbers are thriving.

I was considering posting during the stage how impressed I was by him. Glad to see I'm not the only one noticing him. No wins this year, but consistenly good.

Well, he was already 13th in the 2019 Giro before his 23 birthday, even if it does seem like he has steered away from being a climber since then.

He's a complete rider like his dad was. He can top-10 a GT. Different rider than Molard, but same level. A very high level. I would like to see Valentin get more wins, but in this lineup he has a significant role.

Been having a pretty good period.
First Doubs, then two stages in Luxembourg. I suppose he could be a good back-up card if Alaphilippe doesn't quite have it.

What a performance today, especially considering his crash. Unlucky that Jumbo didn't want to win, otherwise he might have done so. He seems to be circling in on a big win.
He doesn't skip pulls, didn't complain when Jumbo-mess wanted him to rotate in front of them, kept closing attacks. I was hoping JV would get back to Pidcock because I thought Madouas looked the strongest IMO. He indeed had enough in the tank after all that to get 2nd up the final climb. Strong, classy rider. Agreed, I think he's gonna snag a big one soon, especially since people will likely want to work with him since he seemingly always works.
I hope he gets there (to a big win.)

Yes. I was wondering during the race. I don't think many riders except Remco were stronger than him.

Maybe he'll get to a pig win.
He's Breton, so he could actually win the pig.

The big - but no pig - win might come later.
Besides, Tro-Bro Léon is a cool race, that should hold some weight.

after the race Madouas said that he waited for the peloton, because he realized that the move made no sense.
