If he got this kind of overview about who places were, and Van Aert in P1, perhaps they will speculate the win to Van Aert.
atm -11 to Van Aert

I mean I dont want to interrupt the ciclejerk and I generally agree, but its not like Vingegaard isnt a pretty good TTer this isnt Heras winning a flat TT surpise or anything close
Right but his time trialing came out of nowhere last year and didn’t really make sense. And, historically, riders have to choose between optimizing for ITT or mountains and yet Vingegaard somehow vaulted way past Pogacar in the mountains AND past him and all others in the ITT.

He was pretty average pre-Jumbo.

What? He turned pro at jumbo... listen I allready said I pretty much agree, just playing a bit of devils advocate but those counterpoints are too bad to be fun to engage with lol

You know, I don't expect broadcasters to be completely neutral and I absolutely understand Britons rooting for Britons. That being said, the utter lack of selfawareness from Wiggins over the last three weeks, who doesn't seem to realize he is working for an international broadcaster, is so annoying.

Riders such as? Armstrong? Ullrich? Froome? Wiggins? Contador? Pogacar? Roglic?

I don't really get why they show him in other countries than Britain. He has nothing of value to offer.

Before ever entering a windtunnel or having the best material available or the best special medical assistance... Idk if you think im claiming this aint suspiscious?! I obviously aint... im just saying with all that Vingego has shown this ITT isnt particularly insane
