- What's the rush to come back ?
leedorney04-09-2026 - Yep we need charcters like Remco. Cycling would not be as much fun to watch without characters like Remco.Cyclingsbestfan04-09-2026
- I think you could safely call this fall "bad luck", there was no rhyme or reason to it. Oscar since he signed for Ineos has had his fair share of bad luck.Cyclingsbestfan04-09-2026
- I also think that the return to racing is unrealistic for Pogi. But "IF" he was to return, he should only do the last race this season, and that is the fifth Monument- Il Lombardia, in October 10, 2026. IF he would win it, he would be the first cyclist in history to win four consecutive Monuments in the same year, whith being second in Paris-Roubaix. Now I'm not saying that's a smart thing to do, but you never know with these sports "super-humans" like Pogi, Jonas, Remco or Marquez... and todays science in medical technology. Whatever the decision will be, I hope it's for the good of Pogi, because things can also go very wrong if not done properly.PogiSloFans04-09-2026
- Yeah, he's an alien... but aliens also have to get well. They call it "ALIEN REHABILITATION !!!"PogiSloFans04-09-2026
- I just totted up the value in fines for stage 12 4300 swiss = $5300. That high figure for one stage got me totting up the whole value for the entire race. Lets say 3000 swiss on average in fines per stage for 21 stages = 63000 swiss = $77,891 or 90,681 euros. Plus a whole lot of points deducted for other misdemeanors i.e. sticky bottles and the like. The points deduction is the nasty part. The value and damage to both the rider and the team of losing UCI points is incalcuble. So the moral of this is don't litter, obey orders and don't cheat guys!Cyclingsbestfan04-09-2026
- > Tadej is only human Information not true! As far as I know he's an ALIEN.averagecyclist04-09-2026
