VIDEO | 'Doing a Froome' - Neilson Powless recreates iconic bike run at Maryland Cycling Classic
CyclingSaturday, 06 September 2025 at 22:16
'Doing a Froome' refers to the act of running with the bike at hand during a pro cycling race. One of pro cycling's most iconic moments in modern times happened during the 2016 Tour de France at Mont Ventoux; and nine years later Neilson Powless has almost identically recreated this moment at the Maryland Cycling Classic.
It was a matter of turning a disaster into a comedic moment. The EF Education-EasyPost rider was racing in the leading group at the Maryland Cycling Classic, taking place this Saturday, when he needed a bike change. A neutral bike was given to him but he quickly turned around, rejecting it, and picked up his bike - running at high speed towards a soigneur that had a team bike close by.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
