The GOAT is 78 years old and he already retired some time ago.

U'r goat was dominating farmers and mine was dominating the best classics rider of all time vanderpoel and soon the best climber of the generation mr fisher

What farmers?

 

[Rob5091]

Pogi is back in the peloton. Too bad

So Novak and Pogacar attack with 164 km to go (according to PCS) ... wtf?! With Vine out too, I wonder what UAE have been sprinkling on their Pogi Porridge!

Mate, i don't have a goat. There's only one GOAT, eddy merckx, and he already retired.

When even the slightest uphill, pogi attacks instinctively like the salmon of Capistrano

What farmers?

those who milked cows and goats in the morning, played a game of ballots after lunch and then "raced", those are the kind of farmers

GC men wait for final climb on unipuerto stage - “this is so boring, nothing happens for first 4 hours”

GC man attacks early on unipuerto stage - “what is he doing, let the break go you thug”

He can attack on coll de coubet.

He cannot hold back...

 

[mou]

when Merckx was performing, color TV was invented just then, the races were after the work done on the farm, some would drink a liter of wine after lunch and then join half the race hungover, and half of his victories were without TV images, it went to the people delivery in the style of trust me my friend, funny just like Pele, characters played with a wooden ball😆😆😆😆

 

[Gratemans]

Vine is a niche rider, useful for teams like Alpecin, Cofidis, Intermarché... but totally useless for a Visma/Bora/UAE kind of structure.

This^

Aside from his usual crashing at every corner, Vine seems just too fragile for the spring races in Europe, all these injuries, illnesses, struggling in the cold.

He performs well outside of Europe or on a few Vuelta stages when it's warm. Last year he skipped Algarve, Tirreno, Catalunya, was useless in the giro. And again this spring is a disaster. Same story in 2022.

UAE has enough climbing stars already, imagine if they have Vine's contract to a guy like Cattaneo for example.

What a useless rider.

And, although that last statement is a bit too harsh (useless for UAE perhaps), this too.

Was there a split in the peloton that led to the attack? Can’t take everything on PCS without context

 

[Peyroteo94]

Pogi is racing this like a training ride.

 

[yaf]

@mou as pog and novak are trained by sola it seems like they were doing an FTP session mid race. That would be embarrassing for the peleton🤭

 

[veganrob]

Lmao. Get in here. @mou

Please, no

 

[mou]

yes, Sola is training them both and Pog is losing his form with these ciciban stages, etapa was excellent yesterday, good training and pace...

 

[Didinho]

Were there any boni seconds or so? He's just trying to win a stage race like Van Eetvelt.

there isn't really much information yet, I think. Apart from the fact that Matxin was very amused

no, the breakaway had a 5+ minute advantage at that point already

edit: which may also be the reason he attacked, I guess. That gap established in ~10k, so the peloton must have been really slow, and he decided to have some fun.

 

[Froome]

Look how Matxin try with his hand to sabotage Pogacar.

 

[Blanco]

You mean Van Looy, Gimondi, Poulidor, Ocana, De Vlaeminck, Maertens? That kind of farmers?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

You can see the fear and stress on Pogi's face, trying desperate moves because he knows he needs to do something to make up those 2 seconds to Nick Schultz.

 

[mou]

there isn't really much information yet, I think. Apart from the fact that Matxin was very amused

this is Pogi telling you to turn on the TV at 16:00 and bow to @mou

 

[Salvarani]

Pog is the happy and greeting one!

Not the angry and arm-waving one.

Also Joaquim Agostinho.
