- Vamos Chavito! I like this "kid-cyclist" so much.
- MisterMauMau: Yes, for sure you're right, Mr. Flecha is not the unique biased commentator, but the article talk about him. Moreover, I watch cycling races with "ambient sound", I like the sensation of being there (racers chats, public, wheels, brakes...) and I don't like being influenced by journalists, commentators and so long.
- I agree. Jonas is TdF or bust, and that's boring especially when your chief competitor lines up for every race known to man. Tadej has gone on record saying he wants to win other races more than another Tour at this point of his career.
- Visma is so unlikeable. I feel like these comments were classless. I've heard nothing but admiration from UAE/Tadej as it relates to Jonas. It's a shame because I love Wout and Matteo but you just can't root for this lab project of a team. Also, I don't think Visma's team is nearly as strong as the '22 and '23 teams. I think what Wout did in the mountains in '22 was honestly more impressive than what Jonas was able to do. Wout was simply on another level and the collective team had Tadej isolated way too often. I don't expect that will happen again. Hell, UAE needs to bring Del Torro at this point who could neutralize attacks from Jorgenson. Visma would like to pretend that Tour is one extended time trail, going solo up long mountain climbs but it isn't. Jonas may have great numbers in a lab but without the best team, he is just a great climber, and that won't be enough to beat Tadej in the actual race.
- He spends all year every year preparing for one race. That's dull.
- Who knows how del Toro will race over 2,000 meters in the steep, steep stuff. I have my fingers and toes crossed for him though.
- Not many 35y olds beating him at anything for now. Remember how Geraint and Valverde got put on pedestals for OCCASIONAL high level performances after reaching this age?
- Surprisingly sleepy stage. Nobody but Carapaz dared attack UAE and Carapaz only when it was too late.
None of the GC contenders were ever going to be able to drop del Toro on the final climb. Had to either drop him earlier or not at all
- Don't forget that Ayuso ALSO refused to admit that he was seriously injured, compromised IdT by insisting on full team support even while his legs went Adios and then refused to turn a single pedal stroke in support of his teammates...
Ayuso did ALL of those things in this Giro as well...
- He's shone pretty bright in one week stage races
