Jumbo, lol, these guys are the WORST

 

[Salvarani]

This is a good group! Many different teams.

“Tadej, remember they still give bonus seconds for Stage 21...”

 

[QueenStagiaire]

There‘s Bettiol for the cobbles.

 

[Grayguard]

Damn, there's some sour grapes around here... Anyone wants some biscuits to their whine?

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Jumbo gonna be really proud in the interviews afterward. “Nathan did a fantastic job neutralizing the big threat”

 

[Didinho]

Would love to see Mathieu try here with an attack. Now Alpecin need to ride already. Big strong group.

 

[ppanther92]

And there are seriously people in this forum calling Pogacar boring and a mountain sprinter, lol.

 

[RedheadDane]

Jumbo just wanna make sure Pogacar doesn't feel lonely, from not having a Jumbo rider on his wheel.

I mean he did the same last year. Just repeating your own tricks is kind of boring I guess

We know who that person is, and thereby know how whether we should take anything rolling out that keyboard seriously (note: we do not).

Pogacar fanboys developing Jumbo-Visma derangement syndrome. You've got to love it.

hot take: both suck

 

[Tim Cahill]

Unless you're Alpecin there isn't much reason to not pull, would be a good move to tire out some of their leadout even if you have a sprinter

 

[Rackham]

Jumbo riders should work for Pogacar is the new Roglic should have worked for Van Aert at WC

It's not the "not working for Pog" the issue, it's the "jump on Pog's wheel & mark him tightly" which is the problem.

What's the point other than a bit of psychological warfare aka acting annoying? He's not going to make up 7 minutes here.

 

[Salvarani]

Probably better that they drop the Jumbo-rider and have a group where everybody is working

 

[Berniece]

Jumbo is so boring

 

[Valv.Piti]

You can tell that Pogacar is just so much stronger than everyone else, even on flat roads. Ridiculous power this man have

 

[Keram]

If Pog will win this it will be absolutely legendary. But it seems break is doomed

Or, maybe people just appreciate fun racing rather than this sterile Jumbo approach? The DS telling Van Hooydonck not to work is pretty pathetic. Racing is also to entertain and to win hearts and minds.

 

[Salvarani]

Attack next lap again and not with a jumbo rider

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Oh yes! Hatch has been booted off the mic. Let's hope the riders give Carlton something to squeal about.

 

[bob.a.feet]

I think Vingegaard gets too much criticism for being boring, but in comparison to Pogacar he really is.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Vingo just biding his time, then he'll unleash his TT Watts

 

[Valv.Piti]

If Pogacar made a break with the likes of Asgreen, Campenaerts, Mohoric etc. who isnt afraid and have some power, it could honestly have been successful. Instead he got *** Nathan
