- Unless we get a GT with 120km of ITT, he wont beat Jonas let alone Tadej on a full GT. Infer, hope and pray all you like... it's not happeningslappers6615-06-2025
- Where do we get 100?? PCS says he's at 98 right now not 99??slappers6615-06-2025
- Zoom in - Vingo was suffering like mad while Tadej was fresh at the top. I sure hope we don’t learn one day that Tadej has “help” - would be heart breakingCrashjames15-06-2025
- This site sure loves to publish provocative nonsense from pundits. I’m sure many in the peloton were happy the day Roger stepped back. In his day riders were surviving grand tours with panini for f$&* sake. Why doesn’t he rail against Remco for doing the same thing as Jonas?Crashjames15-06-2025
- If he shouldn't be paid all year, then I suggest that he shouldn't train all year. Just train a bit before a stage race and up you go for the race. Better still, cut off his benefits and salaries when he's injured because he's not racing and contributing to the team while injured. Is this how it is supposed to operate? This is one of silliest piece that I have read. Cycling has changed and these oldies are still stuck in the old way of thinking. I want to see riders who race as much as the oldies and see how they fare against those who are well trained in the modern approach. The fact that he doesn't do much racing is due to injuries and family obligation. This article is basically finding problem where there is none.
KerisVroom15-06-2025 - Tadej is not a cry-baby or someone quarrelsome/scandalous. If he said it was a risky move and he didn't like it, It was because he felt there was a danger that went beyond what was usual.
maria2024202415-06-2025 - Tadej himself descended like a mad man in the early part of TdF last year. I remember watching his mad descend to gain time on Vingegaard and his rear wheel lost grip for a moment and skidded. So, I don't think it is a fair to blame Visma for the fast descend. There will always be someone who wants to take more risk than others and there will always be someone who are naturally better at bike handling.KerisVroom15-06-2025
- I only ride road and I have very unaero shoulders (high+wide) and an inefficient body shape (too long back too short legs) with a too injured back/basin to hope for sustained aero positions so not sure it will help me as much. ca bad at cadence, flat or downhill efforts, also hardly ever use up all gears even dead tired at 15-20% but I feel I lose too much energy moving legs/hips and was hoping the shorter cranks might reduce the amplitude and energy for pressing downwards. And with 500 to do before making observations it’s maybe something for a few years down the line if I finally get to a stage where I can take cycling seriously.Mistermaumau15-06-2025
- Pogi even carried out the job of a domestique for Sivakov. So, he definitely wasn't having a bad day. I don't think @abstractengineer specifically refers to this stage, it's probably a general idea.KerisVroom15-06-2025
- Just look at the 2nd picture, who actually looks like they're racing? hint it's the guy on the right...
