Incredible Nils Politt receives the 'Domestique of the Third week' award
CyclingSunday, 21 July 2024 at 13:00
Nils Politt has been an absolute unit in the third week, making even the top climbers suffer trying to follow his pace uphill on some of the hardest mountain passes in Alpes. It's then no surprise the German had been awarded the 'Domestique of the Week' award for his brutal pulls.
In previous two weeks, this award, which is decided by a public voting, went to his teammate Joao Almeida and Mike Teunissen, who received this recognition at the end of the first and second week of the race respectively.
The UAE Team Emirates rider took the victory (37.4%) over Mikel Landa, Matteo Jorgenson and Sean Quinn. Especially against Landa, it was a very close call as the fan-favourite Spaniard lost by mere one percentage (36.3%). Also Jorgenson wasn't as far off at 24%, while Quinn's work for teammates in breakaways wasn't quite recognized at only 2%.

- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024

- Pointless reporting. They are rivals, each tries their way to get their best result, with or without collaboration. As long as it’s all fair, why even report riders feelings about such stuff (yes I know, lack of other news). Anyone riding races will go through dozens of moments per race where they get emotional about the way someone else rides or takes advantage or doesn’t collaborate or more, it is natural, it is justified, it is NOT newsworthy!Mistermaumau17-11-2024
