Why don't people give me the 19 chances Roglic missed to drop Pogacar.
The Powg daysBack in the Dawg days this forum was crashing badly. It kept up pretty well with Pog's uber froomesque performance.
No, but the Vuelta 2011 stage 10 one was pretty shockingDid Froome ever have a TT performance like this?
Not even close.Did Froome ever have a TT performance like this?
I mean, they played to their strenghts. They arrived to the TT with a minute of an advantage over every GC contender. If someone offered them that before the race I am sure they would take it. But who would have though Pogačar (who looked to be fading slightly in the past couple of days) would beat world class TTers like Dumoulin, WvA and Roglič by one an a half minute or more... if Pogi did his "usual" TT, Rogla would maybe lose a second or two, but would still win comfortably. But this was just completely something else. He was just flying and destroyed everyone.Yes. I feel sorry for Roglic as a fellow human being. But he and Jumbo were largely responsible for largely killing the GC battle and the 'big' stages.
Unfortunately I missed some of the fun stages as I'd lost interest
God imagine it was old Lampre and Rabo kicking Sky to the kerb. This place would have went nutsJust realized, Lampre are going to win the Tour. How very 2020.
He never needed to. He usually had the buffer built up and wasnt chasing the tour on the TTNot even close.
Oh, with that team, they should have been able to conjure something up.Why don't people give me the 19 chances Roglic missed to drop Pogacar.
Famous last wordsez pz for wout van alien
rog will destroy pog on the second half
Before the 2019 season Matxim and Gianetti got rid of nearly all the old Lampre coaches, team doctors and staff members who were leeching around Saronni and the whole team improved leaps and bounds.God imagine it was old Lampre and Rabo kicking Sky to the kerb. This place would have went nuts
Famous last words
again with this mitOh, with that team, they should have been able to conjure something up.
For starters, don't sacrifice Dumoulin, so you can play the numbers game.
I would have liked to have seen poor David de la Cruz trying to marshal the front for Pogacar in that case. Especially downhill...
Also, two days ago, Roglic had a gap after the gravel section but then just waited. Would the others have chased him, or would they have thought they were beaten already?
Imagine Uran smashing Froome in the ITT to win the 2017 TDF?I feel sorry for Roglic. He was probably just following team orders, trusting that they had all the numbers worked out. But, at the same time, it's great to see a team who tried to suffocate the race fall at the final hurdle.
Mont-Saint Michel TT was truly an alien one while having a worse wind condition than another TT ailen Tony Martin, I would rate these performances similarly.Not even close.
Yes. I don't see the contradiction.Some of the posters in here are hilarious.
The same people that said GC was over 2 days ago, are now saying Roglic and JV should have done more earlier.

You have a minute lead in a GT with a guy who has like 7/10 last ITTs he's done and who put 1'30 into the 2nd guy the last GT ITT they did vs each other.Oh, with that team, they should have been able to conjure something up.

Nobody had, it was ultra uber froomesque. Lance is gobsmacked.Did Froome ever have a TT performance like this?
I don't have any idea what this means.again with this mit
They brought in Jeroen Swart.Before the 2019 season Matxim and Gianetti got rid of nearly all the old Lampre coaches, team doctors and staff members who were leeching around Saronni and the whole team improved leaps and bounds.
