- Why does anyone ride for Premier Tech?
Is it because they're:
a) stupid
b) desperate
c) a cnut?
- That’s funny, and doubly true :-)
- Also, Fleche Wallone 2023 he was only narrowly beaten by Tadej. He’s always been the Joao Almeida of the north, very capable but just waiting for the break when things come together.
- He beat Remco and Ayuso one stage winning the Tour de Suisse and a stage of Paris-Nice in a 3-way sprint with Jorgensen and McNulty, one of those?
- He started improving but maybe recovering from the crash made him retreat back to his old ways ;-) Nothing a few good wins won’t solve. In any case, he’s certainly not lost much of. his drive.
- Waiting for the day when the WC course will be designated to one of the monuments or classics, perhaps as a centenary celebration?
- 2 things. It’s easy to look smart strategically when you’re way better than the rest and only perfect organisation between a large number of others can endanger the outcome of your gamble. Secondly, his long solo attacks have usually been against fields not including very dangerous rivals or where he had a clear advantage. He has been at times been a bit lucky (1st Tour win) at others a bit cocky (mixing it with the sprinters at the Giro but rarely been put under pressure on his terrain, it’s a good thing there is a Remco around and that he’s now seen guys like MS are capable of bringing him back down to earth, it might make him understand the importance of gathering racing experience to not lose races neglectfully. People say and hope he is a showman, I don’t actually think that’s true or his main reason for doing this, I think deep down he has a need and that he’s either very good at disguising that or doesn’t even realise it himself. I just hope that a frustrated Tadej doesn’t reveal a different side to his teflon character, he really didn’t look comfortable downing that drink (which wasn’t a pint by the way CUTD).
- I guess most of us like Remco, but he's got a habit of making cocky statements. He might be right by his claim, but it doesn't do him any good.
- When was the last time Pogacar lost in a long range solo attack? I don't recall. Seems like he's got a smart head, knowing what's possible and what's not. Except this time.
- That's why I like Milan San Remo. The nature and position of the climbs makes it completely unpredictable. Any type of rider could potentially win.
