Pog deliberately waited for Sivakov. If he doesn't work, then Pog will drop him easily. The longer he stays with Pog the better chance he has of a better result.Tbf I'd argue not riding gives him a better chance of a medal as he's going backwards as soon as Pog attacks. Might as well try to save as much energy and let Pog pull you along until he goes.
The power difference is greater today.In today's cycling, it seems like everyone is still intimidated by the stars and has forgotten the power of the group. No one cooperates anymore. I remember the years when Cancellara would lose the cobbled classics, even though he was clearly the strongest, because the others cooperated against him.
Lot of sad cycling (anti-Pog) fans out there.Lot of sad Belgian (Remco) fans out there.
He was able to follow enough and it was smart by Pog to take him with him.He wasn't. Pogi sat up.
They don’t even have time to shake their heads behind Pogacars wheel hahaThe power difference is greater today.
Normally yes. Eventually there will be some group that can cooperate. And 100 km solo for Pog sounds like a lot even for him.Is it, though? The G2 dicking-around stuff is predictable. Pog can ride at a high rhythm for, near as I can tell, forever.
Which is very true. Can't remember group 2 dynamics being as bad as they've been in the last few years when I started watching cycling in the late 00s.In today's cycling, it seems like everyone is still intimidated by the stars and has forgotten the power of the group. No one cooperates anymore. I remember the years when Cancellara would lose the cobbled classics, even though he was clearly the strongest, because the others cooperated against him.
thanks...got it nowSame place i told you last time in a PM a while ago ;-)
"Why didn't x go with Pogacar?" One of the most common questions in this forum. Every time the answer is: because they couldn't.Why didn't Remco go with Pogacar? Big mistake. It's over
