- True but things also change, Primoz will get older, Remco crashes, MJ isn’t peaking yet and people can improve their weaknesses faster than others improve their strengths, cf MVDP climbing, JV TTing.
- Sorry, yeah doesn’t look great but it seems all the recent context gets completely ignored in order to make a big story out of this. Honestly, did anyone at this point really expect Wout to suddenly have recovered all his missing form?
Respect to Powless but he’s no nobody, his 2022-2023 presaged something like this.
Yes they messed up but it also nearly worked, impossible to know how good your opponent is going to be in such a situation unkess it’s an in form Pog or MVDP. I’d not see this as a disaster but a really bad call, there are positives, they distanced a very strong 2nd group (Mads might be saving himself though) and Wout was very close to a place he’s not heen in a long time. I’d call that progress. Only a few meters would have led to completely different headlines. Why make everything so boack and white? Wout obviously understands and it is in part everyone putting all that pressure on him that led to him making a bad call. That said, had he let his mates go for the win (no guarantee either) héd have received different criticism.
- Pogi is just had 9 days of racing.
- I’d advise doing brain scans during max efforts, you never know, he may be having micro blackouts without realising it at the time and with a crash you tend not to remember it after either. Like when you nod off a split second while driving, or realise you can’t remember any details from the last few km.
- I can't believe what I just saw. Reminds me of Ian Stannard beating 3 Quickstep riders in Omloop. Not sure what's going on with Wout. Maybe just needs more time, but he has not looked great since that Vuelta crash.
- They wanted Wout to win so they chose a losing tactics
- Well that sure didn't look good for Visma. After all that. Wow.
- I disagree. Jorgensen has a worst TT than Remco or Roglic, on any terrain, and is worse in the mountains
- I think Jorgenson has the ability to win the Tour de France and has strength to battle with Remco, Roglic, Ayuso and Almeida. But when it comes to these aliens (Pogi and Vingo), they are just in another planet. Another alien named MvdP in the classics.
- The problem with forcing ideas in the hope to create buzz or desperation to be the first with « news » and get copied is that if and when things do get announced, nobody can enjoy anything anymore out of built-up expectations and if it doesn’t get announced, either nobody cares or people get disappointed or even angry from having their hopes (expectations) crushed. Enjoy what tou still can.
