- There is no comparison. Jonas has beaten the Goat of this Time Pogi when he was said to be unbeatable, twice in the most grueling competition. Pedersen has not even beaten MVDP let alone Pogi head to head in monuments, his terrain
- Pidcock has talent, but unless he decides to do only high end road races and stop doing Mountain bikes, CX and such he isn't a big threat to the main riders if they come in on form. He needs to dedicate his training to road bike only. If he rides anything else make it very little and not something like the Olympics (which I understand) but shows that to win a top GT you have to train to win a GT. Not MTB or CX races.
- To do or not to do GC that is the question which he and his team does not know the answer while everyone else knows he is not a credible GC rider
- He was in the mix, just first time in a while he has the legs and uses them up with suicide moves etc
- What a delusional bloke! Talking about fighting for the overall while being 13 minutes down the GC. It’s evident that his crash into the parked bus damaged not only his performance but brain as well. With Jonas as the best GT rider and other top GT GC riders absent, the gap was 13 minutes. Otherwise it would have been more than 20 minutes...
- That would make Wout worth about 9.4 million in gold as of today. His current salary is about 3.8 million, so write him a 5.6 million bonus check...
- Poker 0 - Chess 1
- I think they just underestimated Yates capability and by the time they realised it it was maybe considered too late or risky for either team to help the other go after him, bet they were both secretly praying he’d lose strength before the end but obviously they now can’t admit to bad tactics so they’re letting the rider take all the flack. In football you sack the manager not the player.
- Yeah, I have a vague memory of something like that but it will happen for sure, no matter how much cycling fans can tolerate boredom, the fight for viewers dictates that the content becomes ever more juicy, and as it’s hard to insert cheerleaders or handicaps, this is one of the few options available, they'll just wait until Visma have less clout because all the nation sponsors are never going to be against anything that could monetise the sport.
- Wout is awesome - he's had a horrible run of luck in the last year, but hasn't whined about it and had just been heads down, riding his heart out. Love him.
