Swap their punctures and Vingegaard doesn't lose any time on the cobbles. If he goes hard all the way, he takes half a minute on Pogi in the last ITT.Swap their team in '22 and Pog takes 2+ minutes in the cobles' stage, and loses much less on the Granon and Hautacam. Ah and he also would take some seconds on Calais' stage by following WVA.
Vingegaard was the best climber in '22 and '23.
But TDF is not all about 10km+ climbs.
WVA took back 1 minute from Pog that day, after falling and chasing. Ving was already dropped before the puncture IIRC.Swap their punctures and Vingegaard doesn't lose any time on the cobbles. If he goes hard all the way, he takes half a minute on Pogi in the last ITT.
2nd best ?
joint best 1 day ?
kind of proves my point and contradicts 'in a class of his own'...dont you think ?
Sorry! I'll be sure to add you to the mailing list so you don't miss the next announcementWhen did I know? I never even suspected it. Nobody ever told ME.
I actually have a backlog of poems ready to go; there was a while that I'd write one after particularly good races - I started the tradition after 2018 LombardiaThe poem deserves it own recognition... and is a very specific question. It should have an own thread to discuss and people being able to share when they knew.
Not get caught up in a general discussion.
interesting question in its own right! probably during the 2010 TDF when I'd pretend to be Contodar and do little hill attacks out of the saddle in his style - the whole experience was joyousI definitely thought it was gonna be about "When did you know cycling was the sport for you?"
Let's face it, you thought Remco was better before you know that Pogacar can do 8.2 w/kg in 12 minutes.It was when mou started posting nonstop in the Pogacar thread. Before that I always thought remco was better. Mou made me see the cold hard facts and recognise my flawed dogma.
