  Riis is just an ex doper trying to be relevant in today’s world.

  why are we owed any communication? they can release what they want. Riis is a great cyclist, but he is owed nothing in this regard. none of us are. everyone says “they need their space”. the entire incident was caused by an overly intrusive fan. then, Riis wants to be overly intrusive with his demands. strange contradiction.

  but still not close to cracking him, at least with their tactics for sure. and Tadej was down his # 1 domestique, so in the last week he rode defensively. but Jonas had zero chance against him.

  JV is doing the Giro because it’s the third GT to add to his palmares. If he doesn’t, he’ll turn into another Roglic. Fail at the TDF and therefore win the Vuelta as a consolation.

  It’s laughable. TP struggled through his own issues, not what Visma were throwing at him, which by the way was very little from JV

  I thought Pantomime season was done. They couldn't crack an injured and sick Tadej, the Visma posts border on delusional some days

  In hindsight, it is true. Tadej suffered knee pain unbeknownst to Visma though.

  The answer is obviously no to both questions and it will be the same this year. MVDP is riding at the top of his game.

  I was waiting for that one but don’t agree. Doesn’t fall into my serious category. Someone in his position shouldn’t have a problem preparing for a TdF after breaking a wrist in April, and if so, people would have to give Jonas way more credit for what he achieved after April Itzulia, the winning margins having been similar. We have even seen riders riding on with broken wrists and training wise I think you’ll have to agree it doesn’t stop preparation anywhere near as much as broken ankles, incapacitated lungs or even lengthy back problems. Some riders may be called crazy for 5 hour indoor sessions but if that’s all it takes to secure winning the TdF I’m sure a broken wrist wouldn’t stop Tadej from adapting. So to be clear, I don’t accept the wrist excuse as an explanation for that years’ “poor” TdF performance.

  That’s a great interview on Roadman. I loved watching that era of cycling, the mid to late 80’s, it’s what built my passion for the sport. And then came epo. I couldn’t understand why riders like Lemond, hampsten struggled for results and then just disappeared. The riders who never took it just didn’t stand a chance.
