- You’re expecting OneCycling to be MORE respectful for women??? You do know who’s financing don’t you? If you want the sport to become elitist, expensive and manipulated, by all means, jump out of the frying pan into the fire.
- Maybe his mind has already switched to retirement, probably wasn’t a good idea to decide and announce so far in advance. The newer generation are just faster and more competitive, the whole peleton has to work all day, gone are the times he could look forward to a casual chat during work.
- This guy has managed to misunderstand every physical principle he has "learned". How does he keep getting quoted in articles about cycling, or anything? Please, someone get him some flashcards before he strikes again.
- Poor Roger, once a legend, now a sad old man grasping at relevance.
- I don’t know what he’s referring to specifically, if you really try to find something it might just be the way he eased off at the finish which some could interpret as trying to subtly convey a message like »hey guys, don’t bother coz I’m not even trying » I don’t think he would ever consciously think like that but there may be a past traumatised side of him that needs to prove superiority when it’s unnecessary, perhaps he was bullied at school, cyclists are often easy targets, frail and not socially comfortable.
- Good job!
- So he DID get a bacterial infection, not surprising his form dropped. C’mon Rog, before they inaugurate the grey jersey, go for broke one more time :-)
- Uninformed rubbish. For a given power, torque x cadence = constant.
Higher cadence means lower torque, not higher.
- “ the margin wasn’t overwhelming”, your analysis is fine but what no one can assess if how much effort Tadej made on the mountain stages, if as many suggest he was at 80-85% hrs got a chunk more to come!
Tour in Balance?? Maybe not
- Tourmalet 2115 but it comes early in the stage
Mont Ventoux 1910, Stage finish
Glandon 1924 comes early in the stage, then the Madeleine 2000 and finally Courchevel 2304, stage finish, in 2023 Tadej lost a lot of time here to Jonas.
La Plagne 2052, stage finish
Tadej lost time on two big mountains in 2022 and 2023 that cost him the Tour, they were both above 2,000 meters. Last year in the Tour he did well on Isola 2000 and the Galibier stage, he won both. Could be he has finally developed to be able to tackle those high mountain climbs, the body does weird things above 2,000 meters when your on the limit.
This coming Tour is going to be hot, fast and tough.
