- You have no idea? You should go and ask Mou.
- The cyborg, being present in Canada to support his fiancée, is great news for the human race.
- True, but Pogi haters and other fools on this site won't admit it. While they celebrated Pogi's crash and saying the Vuelta was "exciting again," the reality is that the second and third weeks of the Vuelta attracted far fewer viewers.
By David Bavin-HobbsIn on PRO CYCLING: A cycling world that has been dominated for years by Pogačar and UAE Emirates-XRG—and in a world where people talk about the sport being “boring,” “monotonous,” and “unexciting”—the Slovenian’s withdrawal provided a very enlightening insight. For although Pogacar had the Vuelta firmly in his grasp, far more people were watching when he was in the race versus after his departure.
The statistics website Procyclingstats shared a rather bizarre graph showing the sharp drop in visitor numbers since Pogacar was forced to withdraw. In recent years, there had always been an increase in unique visitors during the first and second weeks of the Vuelta. However, Pogacar’s withdrawal resulted in a 15 percent drop.
- Tell your orange maga orangutan president to give you a better life. Capish?
- Urška Žigart, who was third overall, crashed in the third stage, 27 km left, and abandoned the race. She has suffered another broken jaw, which likely also means the end of her season.
- It is confusing, but my guess is that they expect it to be a procession until the last lap, by tacit agreement of the peloton.
- Urska herself crashed out on Stage 3 of the Faun Tour Femmes. Don't know the nature of her injuries, but I hope that she can recover in time for the WC.
- Er, no. IDL reports that the Vuelta viewing figures did drop noticeably after Pog crashed out.
- It may just be the unclearness of the description and I’ll admit, I’m getting too lazy to go check EVERYTHING myself but if they’re doing the same lap several times, why would the last one be any more dangerous than whichever will turn out to be the last one if they decide on a fictive end?
- Do we know the extent of Chris Hamilton's injuries? He seemed in absolute agony and for a while after his accident there was no update on his condition which was of some concern.
