  Who are you replying to, yourself? Or just admitting you didn’t realise half your statements were opinion?

  I think Tadej turns boring stages into GC firework. Compare this to Chris Froome era where nothing happens until big mountain stages, we get to see firework even on punchy stages. I doubt a more conservative generation of GC riders will turn stage 6 into firework. They don't attack from that far on GT and the last climb won't make a big gap on GC.

  Good Point! Maybe A.S.O. should make the stages different..only putting the High Montains (queen stages) in last week or so? They did change Green Jersey points this year because of POGI almost winning last year, so they are making adjustements.... Its a Tough Topic this one... It was cool they made some kind of a pool to know the fans opinio. Are we divided in this?

  If I may gently remind you, Javier Ares is Spanish. Spanish only care for GC

  Tom, either say something or say nothing. Why naïve if there’s nothing worth thinking through? Why a comparison to Messi which is about skill and not performances Even if Tadej is unlikely to be a protagonist in unfairness, I certainly do not trust his entourage as much. Doping in whatever form is a technical definition, many other unfair advantages cannot be classified as such and would be impossible to prove without being mistakenly revealed. I do not want to list any for fear of giving ideas (very little open discussion exists on potential methods) but having followed Mauro’s case in detail, I know how far some are willing to go, also to conceal what they want to hide.

  That's a bit of an extreme comment. He was tired and frustrated but looked fine at todays start. He was smiling and shook hands with Pogacar, Del Tora and Pederson at the start. Retire out of the tour? I doubt it. I can see him retiring completely soon though. He has won every grand tour and has nothing more to prove.

  Yes they did! It became monotonous and boring to watch and many comments were made on Indurains style of winning. Pogacars style is more dynamique. That said Pogacar potentially putting the race to bed so early has taken out a lot of the excitement for me. I would bet a lot of people feel the same.

  Agreed, don’t get the feeling Jonas is the type to give up. He may have been knackered but he recovers well too.

  Choose your words more carefully. For sure they are able, if the circumstances called for it they’d even be able to reel in the Pog. No lone rider is going to outrun a team time trialing. It’s the context that decided, 2 riders as saboteurs, 2 with zero interest in helping, one almost self-destructive and a few without a clear plan or incentive, that’s hardly a recipe for chasing. We saw a similar situation in spring when MVDP made the mistake of going with Pog on the climb instead of hanging back with the rest and working together to reel him in after the climb.
