- ...And Pogačar could even come second because van der Poel punctured twice in the Arenberg. Or maybe that Alastair Mackellar would've won if he hadn't encountered so many problems
Wout van Aert did not win because Pogačar had to spend energy. He won it because of his superior bike handling. As we saw many times, Pogačar had the power to drop Wally but was limited by his bike handling.
- The other issue Red Bull have is that Remco won't win another Monument or Grand Tour.
- And the iranian regime has a fantastic human rights record? Have your read the hamas founding charter, look no further than that if you want to see genocide codified. No more colnagos for me as Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE's national security advisor and a member of the royal family, acquired a majority stake in Colnago in 2020.
- Rideshills, you nailed it. Visma’s laissez-faire is what’s now cost Rogliç his 5 Vueltas (not that they care now he’s left). Kuss was a domestic and there was never any discussion of letting him win before the games started, he was there to prepare for a leader to take GC, his nationality probably played into pressure from loud voices calling for granting him the win (which is what ultimately happened as the other two held back for a fake result, don’t think anyone has ever been ALLOWED to win like that).
Probably the fact PR already won the Giro and JV the Tour also played into the way of « solving » the situation.
PR’s attitude is totally understandable, he’d already seen too many GC chances slip away through tiny errors of judgement and obviously wasn’t going to let another slip by lying down.
- Selective memory
- They will have thought of planting new trees then right? A more suitable type in light of warming and diseases affecting the historical species, otherwise we may see the whole road wash away in the next mudslide from increased rainfall on barren mountain tops.
Often it seems those in charge of works only think in one dimension.
Hopefully there won’t be a heatwave for riders now.
- He’s actually more fragile than he shows and afraid of a few more riders, otherwise he’ dare to attack from other than the most obvious, predictable parts of races.
- WVA is such a winner of a human being. Anyone that isn't team Wout, I don't understand. I am a major MVDP fan actually, but am always happy when Wout wins.
- Jonas was there to win, and unlike Roglic he had a realistic chance of doing it.
The most amazing thing is that Visma turned this very public display of dirty laundry (and a loss of tge Tour-Vuelta double for Jonas) into a PR triumph.
- WVA won Roubaix because Pog had a mechanical and had to pull a large group for 20km to rejoin the group. Nothing to do with Visma tactics.
