UAE Tour 2025, February 17-23

I think we have a chance here for the most blatant moto drafting in the history of the sport in the final 10km

they'll get caught. 1 minute at 65km to go

Yeah sprinters teams have done a good job, + LvE being there should even give the other GC teams a reason to pull it back.

I imagine they're frying the lesser riders in that break quite badly

Conclusion of the day. Pogacar is an a$$hole for not letting others shine.

Mou is right. You can be exaggerate or whatever about Pog having fun.
For Pog fans is best thing about him.

When racing, in rainbow, his team sponsor's own race.

He makes even boring stages entertaining, that's why people like him.

I'm at work and twitter is blocked. someone post Ammatti's tweet with Novak waving to the peloton and Soudal going WTF

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Break caught, just as if it were a pack of riders from Vini Fantini and Bardiani. So exciting and entertaining!

It's like a mildly interesting trivia thing going on and people are losing their minds.

He's still lurking on the forum I see

Yesterday stage with echelons was much more interesting than today pogecar and van etvelt playing 'bardiani for a day'

 

[Tim Cahill]

I was looking forward to Tarozzi trolling the Vini guys again but just went and did something else, hopefully Gaviria can save the stage, I actually think his tactics might work this time, if there's one thing these guys won't expect it's him doing the same thing for the 40th time.

This thread quickly became a cult meeting of my entire ignore list, lmao. I do find Elon Musk of cycling a spot on comparison, great work by Mr. Cahill.

Yeah, sucks that Pogačar didn‘t use his air bender powers to create wind today. Of course this wasn‘t super exciting but some people sound like they‘d rather have no break at all than Pogačar in the break.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Why? Pogi here, Pogi there, Pogi gets all attention. He is stealing shine from other riders, today he prevents the break from getting more time, riders from small teams from getting exposure they need.

I get that he is super good and GOAT of cycling, but no need to remind that to everybody even at sprint stages.

Also every race he enters he wins except from some classics and that makes races predictable and boring. So no, not everybody is fond of Pogi winning everything. I'm tired of this.

Don't watch cycling. If you prefer conservative riders and those who only race "by the book", I must say you don't like cycling.

looked like Castrillo was involved in that crash?

edit: yep

 

[Red Rick]

Thank the cycling gods for these safe, wide roads

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Gall(?), Seixas and Castrillo I reckon were involved.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Such a wide road and they crash

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Carlos Rodrigues?

And Felix gall

 

[pelotonIQ]

Seixas crash and worst of it all is that it was before 3km to go.

Luka Mezgggzehg flyer!
