- Despite having torn a meniscus in September, not being able to ride before April and still feeling it slightly during rides a few weeks ago (plus immediately noticing I definitely shouldn’t try pedalling a bmx when someone came to buy my sons’) I did a pretty tough test ride yesterday 115k with 2200m and a 3km 15% section and felt/feel absolutely nothing anymore so hopefully as far as road cycling goes, knees are no longer a worry, now I have to start working on real condition again.Mistermaumau15-06-2025
- Even if things stay as now, it’s easier for Tadej to do that a couple of days (he’s the far better classicer), harder for three weeks where Jonas starts to be in his element.Mistermaumau15-06-2025
- Exactly, and for that, opponents have to be fresh at the right moment. It’s a hard thing to do right because you also have to provoke the situation to crack.Mistermaumau15-06-2025
- From the discussion and publicity his not racing seems to develop, he’s obviously worth the investment, Visma is still just as discussed and known as UAE, despite not winning as much nowadays.Mistermaumau15-06-2025
- A crack only happens if the opponents push on a bad day otherwise it will be a missed opportunityabstractengineer15-06-2025
- what race were you watching? tadej showed no weakness today. and BTW anyone can crack on a bad day, that is the definition of a bad day. you crack.mij15-06-2025
- regardless stupid comment by the reporter. Jonas didn’t lose minutes because Tadej didn’t ride as hard as he could have. there was no morale victory. jonas isn’t as good right now, and tadej can drop him anytime. could change for the tour, hopefully it does a bit so we have a racemij15-06-2025
- Like previous years, Pogi has shown that he is susceptible to a crack on a bad day. Visma needs to keep at it till he cracks while keeping the gap in reaching distanceabstractengineer15-06-2025
