  Can you elaborate a bit on what difference you notice or feel or how it changes your perception of effort on various types of terrain/intensity? Any pain or stress relief for sensitive parts?

  Hey, Mads is even contemplating altitude training. We oldies should know better, nothing like time to help a young mind mature ;-)

  Does anyone think this result could have been "planned" by Tadej? I mean, yes he lost a lot of time but you didn't see him really push after exiting corners getting up from the bike, he even used his water bidon (on a 17km TT?) to take a sip... he started at a steady controlled pace and maintained that pace throughout the stage, no pushing at the end to limit time loss... Could this be some kind of bluff by Tadej? "Oh no, I didn't manage my effort, look guys I'm so vulnerable..." and then in the Tour de France crush them once more? We'll have to wait and see!

  Good luck Robin. I'm glad you are on the mend. Life is wonderful. Keep focussed on that.

  Come on, it's not serious and you know it. But If your happiness is winning arguments, even with sophistry, ok. I like making people happy: YOU'RE RIGHT.

  The word is that Jonas is running 150mm cranks on his road bike, I can't tell on his TT bike but they look much shorter. I moved to 155mm cranks at the end of 2023 for both my road bikes and my TT bike, it's been a game changer for me and looks to agree with Jonas as well.

  as of the day he rode the TT in yellow at the TDF in ‘21, mvdp had NEVER been in a wind tunnel and NEVER ridden his TT bike a single day except for the days he had to in stage races. that day he finished 5th, one second behind wout, and hung on to his yellow against all expectations.

  well THIS is music to my ears. i’ve always thought — and said here several times — that van der poel SHOULD be a great time trialist, and the only reason he isn’t is that he just never gives his all unless it’s an event HE genuinely cares about, and for whatever reason he’s just never liked TTs. but his natural riding position is beautifully aerodynamic, and he has the ability to empty his tank to a degree that i think is basically unmatched. i hope his passion for this event grows.

  So he went from not doing the Vuelta to doing it for training. Guillen must have called his boss

  That said, we’ve seen Jonas being real good in TT before but this was really short and favoured others more.
