- Welcome back! At least Evenepoel is true to his teammates, unlike your man Roglič
- OMG... how much money was paid for Remco, and what has he delivered? Nothing!!! He won a few second and third class races, but when it got for real, he capitulated. Ad acta.
- The biggest blow would be Jarno Widar
- More to the point, Merckx faced a significantly different peloton. Back then, it was almost all western/southern European riders - today’s peloton is pulling the best riders from at least half the globe. So being the best of that is a much more impressive task. Much like how an English Football League player from the 1970s wasn’t facing the whole world the way today’s players do. Which just underlines why it’s really pointless to make the comparison. Apples and oranges.
- The same Wout who managed to lose a sprint to Neilson Powless?
- There’s an attitude in cycle racing that I find difficult to comprehend and this race highlighted it more than most but you see it everywhere and it’s the mentality of …. ‘ I’d rather make sure you don’t win than take a shot at winning myself’
It’s like refusing to take a penalty in a shoot out in case you miss
- I had a bar so plenty of experience in the facets drunkenness can take but still can’t see how you evaluate they couldn’t have been.
Maybe they were drunk chancers, maybe staff had more interaction to support their accusation?
In any case, definitely amateurs but hardly endangering, staff just don’t seem very well dressed in how to deal with such situations.
- And yet, being more careful than ever.
- When facing a generational rider, other riders dont pull. As a result the generational rider will always attack and drop the rest and try for solo. On flats it is possible to save 20%. @ 400 W that is almost 80W due to which most riders can contribute to pull the most strongest riders. If you dont work you will not win.
- Like I said in the other article, it's the same every time: When the first chase group has more people than can fit on the podium, their momentum stalls in the last 2 kms.
