- CORRECTION: Pogi is the greatest ever. Merckx is 2nd. Hinault cannot match the Palmares on the one day monuments, WCs etc. Capish?
- The old farts will never admit... they will never acknowledge the truth, that Pogi is the GOAT. Ad acta!!!
- "Pogacar would have lost both to Van der Poel and Van Aert”... said Paolo Bettini!?!? What a fool. His words mean nothing... zero. IF...IF...IF...IF. IF the world was flat, he would fall off into the dark. Why don't people like that just shut up.
- MvDP has not been as dominant in the last two races. He was almost caught in E3 Saxo Classic and was swallowed up by the Peloton in Middelkerke - Wevelgem. He's done too many races in a short time. My guess is that he will run out of gas trying to keep up with Pogacar who is well rested and ready to go !!
- Different times indeed. In 1975 the traditional cycling nations of Belgium, Netherlands, France, Spain, and Italy represented 45 out of the top 50 riders. In 2025 those same nations contributed just 21 of the top 50.
In 1975 only 9 nations had any riders in the top 50, in 3025 there were 22 nations with riders in the top 50
- The Volta would have been way more interesting if the Vallter 2000 summit finish was there.
There is only one team at fault - Bahrain-Victorious.
They did not send Attila Valter, who'd have been a top notch mountain domestique for Lenny Martinez
No Valter = No Vallter
- I'm not saying that Jonas's defensive riding was a bad thing, but:
Stage 1- controlled on the descent and didn't contest the sprint "I'm not going to risk life and limb to go for the win"
Stage 3- refused to work with Evenepoel and passed on the opportunity of the stage win
Stage 5- attacked and dropped everyone (nothing to say there)
Stage 6- attacked on the final climb but not before (the race would've been more selective if he had)
Stage 7- rode defensively, marking attacks and not doing much himself.
Nothing wrong with that, but Evenepoel and Red Bull could have got more success if Vingegaard was more aggressive. And Vingegaard wouldn't have lost anything that he achieved with his defensive riding.
A harder race could've seen Florian Lipowitz drop Lenny Martinez to finish 2nd and Remco Evenepoel take two stage wins (3 and 7) while Vingegaard wouldn't lose anything.
- Yes it is called tactics Remco that is why he is a 2 time TDF winner and leaves you for dead on the climbs . Or am I missing something. Suprised he thinks Vin was riding defensive when he smashed the field and won a few stages
- Paolo Bettini, disgruntled old pro, reflects... 😁
- Where the race was really decided???? Remco, stop your BS and phlisophical analysis... your arguments are garbage and never ending excuses. The race was decided in the mountains, where you stink, where you were never good at...and NEVER will be. Capish? Stick to ITT and one day races... but make sure Pogi and MVDP aren't there. That's going to be your cycling legacy: Remco Evenepoel won manny many races in his career, second and third class races. Ad acta.
