Next sacrificing goats?
yeah, the sacrificial cat is entry level good enough for middle top ten giro and to win le lexembourg

a goat would mean to be competitive for giro podium and the big one week stage races

then to win giro maybe a horse?

keeping this in mind you have to ask what kind of woolly haired unicorn ritual pogacar has done, heard that jumbo are assembling a team of exorcists for next season

In all my time following cycling, I don't think I have ever gave the Tour of Luxembourg much attention, but I have to say that was a very enjoyable race with interesting stages and race situations. Why is is Le Tour cannot have more stages like this instead of a million sprint stages each year?

Only watched a couple of stages, but is it being harsh to say Simmons could have easily podiumed this if he rode with half a brain cell, or was it team tactics?

Either way, he's obviously coming into form for an already very strong US team at The Worlds.
I think it's tactics in this case, but it has often been the former...

Insane attack but just as interesting is Pedersen being equal to it.
at least he dropped Hirschi, people were saying it was a sign he couldnt be good at worlds if he gets dropped by Hirschi (even if it was for like 5 seconds) in stage 4. Showed them...
