- why is he working on his TT aero position, and how will that close the gap to Tadej? he just beat him soundly in the world TT championships.
impressive that he’s doing this, but if he wants to close the gap, figure out how to handle Tadej’s climbing attacks.
- Too bad for you to see it that way. Wout was at the end of a 16 month stretch during which he rode 4 Grand Tours - plus a full classics schedule and some CX - and had two career-threatening injuries. The argument that he "hid" for 20 stages is ludicrous; he himself acknowledged that he tried repeatedly to get into breaks, win stages, etc. but just didn't have it. That he found it on the last day was thrilling from both a competitive and a human standpoint. Even if you root for Pog,that was one of the epic moments of the whole season.
- BTW, social ostracism is one of the major mechanisms to police good behavior in groups.
In fact, it might be more effective than any other mechanism, because people don't like being treated like that by their peers.
I've actually used it myself to enforce behavior in the peloton.
- Oh come on a UK 4th cat rider could have seen Yates going up the road . Hindsight is fantastic. What would he have done without a radio like the old days. No excuses just poor tactics by himself and team
- Only one of these 2 riders can win the TdF. So it's obvious who should be sole leader.
- Difference between racing to win and racing not to lose. He wasn’t well served by the team car that day.
- Wout van Aert??? He was nowhere to be found for twenty days, hiding and saving, while Pogi fought a colossal battle. And then he shows up in the last stage and beats the injured Pogačar and now that's something special.
You should have put in the selection: Tadej Pogačar - Tour de France Stage 21 (Montmartre–Champs-Élysées). I would vote for that!
- not really that surprising, it's British cycling 🤣. Proud of wiggo for speaking up.
- Seems to be poor translation... Either way he can train harder, dope, or just complain.
- I really liked Simon Yates ride on Stage 20 of the Giro. It was completely unexpected and unpredictable, and offered the kind of tension, excitement, and drama that I greatly enjoy seeing in a bike race.
