If not beauty, then maybe Rooney?I don't like comparing Evenepoel to Messi. Messi is beauty. Evenepoel is just strong.

Winning the polka dots has little to do with being a world class climber and I don't really want to write more than that because frankly, I'm pretty sure you know that yourself.

Alaphilipe always been talented though. Winning races. Both one-day races and a couple stage-racers. One of the best riders in the world for a few years. At his peak of his abilities and he has developed quite naturally into it.
There isnt guys that crushes the field anymore in the mountains or a couple of guys being so much better than the rest when it comes to GC.
Why cant nobody get better? To me it aint a shock, but to each his own.

As long as they don’t pull so hard they crack their own leader they should hopefully survive.

The only way Alaphilippe would make sense if he was riding around with too much fat and could conceivably slim down, but as a hilly specialist he wasn't reall ydoing that either, and despite being a hilly specialist, the Roche Aux Faucons or Civiglio would often prove way too much for him.
What happened to Pogacar??? Why is he falling behind?
EDIT: Ignore... It looks like he is back in the peleton again

I'm not particularly a fan of Evenepoel, but his long range attacks are beauty on a bike. He's the closest to Messi.I don't like comparing Evenepoel to Messi. Messi is beauty. Evenepoel is just strong.
Some cameraman grassing up the Pogacar group
He's in trouble there, a precedent has been set already

It's probably just a group that all stopped to pee.
Now is more or less the last chance, the rest will be hard racing.

Charlotte Dujardin is lucky that Kasper Asgreen switched from dressage to cycling.

The guy who deserves the Tour win the most, by the way, is Tim D. Definitely not beauty on the bike, but damn...
