- Pity Traen crashed out, could have been this years’ surprise
- Can’t really tell your boss or sponsor you’re sraying home if they need you at work or pay you for it though, or is this how you function?
It’s always been obvious he’d prefer not to have to go anymore, at least ever since he got his first stage to dedicate to his granpa.
- I think he went for it because it was an interesting stage for him to go for and because he felt in shape, no other reason. Or do you imagine he’d have held back if Jasper had won any or even ALL the sprints?
- Tadej Pogačar is facing another wave of doping allegations on social media and from skeptics following his historically dominant performances at the Tour de France.
I want Vingegaard to be put through a scanner and analyzed in detail because it is impossible that in the 2nd toughest race in the world in May in the toughest sport, he made all 180+ cyclists look like amateurs with 80% strength. I want him to be examined in detail. He must be doping, just like Pogi.
I want Merlier to be tested for gene doping and everything possible, because he must be cheating. Belgians, speak up!!! It is not possible that he is 5 times better than everyone else in the sprints, and he makes them look like amateurs. He must be doping, just like Pogi. I just want to hear Belgians on this topic.
- I wasn't around during Merxck's peak. Was he openly questioned and surrounded by doping-related questions all the time too?
- Seems like Jasper is off this year, can't deliver more than a top 10. That's probably why MVDP went for it today. He gave Jasper two good chances, but nothing.
- Like in horse racing?
- You can see the problem with the opening stages being GC focused. There are only 9 riders in the race who are fighting for GC. The tenth spot will not be filled by a GC rider, and it will simply be the breakaway climber who loses the least time.
Compare that with last year, where there was an interesting battle to stay in the top 10, between Ben Healy, Ben O'connor and Jordan Jegat, with O'connor having to settle for 11th.
In 2024 it was even better, as Matteo Jorgenson, Derek Gee-West, Santiago Buitraigo and Giulio Ciccone battling it out.
Having the GC open from the start means that only riders who came aiming for it end up doing it. You don't get riders who end up up there almost accidentally.
- I do find it quite hilarious how Horner's "analysis" is disproven so often
- seems like he finally found enjoyment ...
