  What an odd decision by the UCI. Are they suggesting he purposely crashed to get the brake levers closer together?! Surely, any perceived time gain from the brake levers being closer together would have already been forfeited BY THE CRASH.

  Remco didn't lose his level and it was not regression - he never reached the required level anyway. In Trofeo Serra Tramuntana, he tried but couldn't drop Adrià Pericas and Pablo Castrillo on Coll de Sóller - he dropped them on the descent. The following day in Trofeo Andratx Pollença, he could make a move on Coll de Puig Major (mostly because of a certain Iván Romeo) and he won it because of his engine on the flat and his punch on the final climb (even when he attacked and dropped Mathys Rondel, the Frenchman stayed quite close). Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana was decided on punch, not climbing, and Remco dropped Tiberi, Almeida after a superb lead out from Giulio Pellizzari (whose work made a huge difference) and the gap did not baloon. In Mallorca and Valenciana, Evenepoel never showed that he had the climbing ability to contest Jebel Mobrah and Jebel Hafeet. Also, Malori's explanation doesn't really make sense on its own, but if you think about in line with what I've detailed above, it does make plenty of sense.

  I agree. What's up with that? I thought bad juju first. Now it's sus.

  The unfortunate mechanical, the late flat, once again prevents Wout van Aert from participating in the final. This is a sad part of his history (I'm thinking of Paris Roubaix a few years ago). I wonder how it is that he gets these mechanicals more than others on his team, and his team more than other teams (at least that's how it feels to me - maybe I'm wrong).

  Brennan isn’t!

  You obviously have VERY little info available, which may explain why you keep repeating the same (often incorrect) stuff, in the same way (Einstein once said something about people like that). In fact, it seems you spend more time copy-pasting your own texts than trying to understand others. Maybe you’re extremely young or 2021 is before you discovered cycling but MVDP already showed the world how to deal with Tadej (and everyone else) in Strade and even at his best Tadej would NOT have managed to recover from that attack, sorry to break your heart.

  Nothing to do with the country. Those who’ve been here long enough know why he’s not one of my favourites and seems ever more unlikely to become one. As for awards, as far as I recall, I’ve NEVER said he shouldn’t have got one. Not sure you’ll become more popular here focussing on me rather than him but it should be easier for getting yourself a few votes. Be my guest if it makes you feel better.

  Maybe a chilly camp would have been useful, or just a chili

  Your fanboy efforts are majorly cringe and also totally unnecessary. Everyone except a few grumpy old Belgians already acknowledge Pogi as the greatest current rider with an increasingly strong case to be the greatest ever.

  Again Wout?! Before Saturday, go to one of Siena's many churches and take a bath in holy water. I'm not a believer, but it can't hurt him, and you never know if it might help him... (I'm agnostic, it can, it can't, who knows).
