- I prefer Occam's Razor. He said he didn't train in TT much due to the spring campaign. It's a good and simple explanation. He's Tadej, why should he resort to this sort of scheme?
- Enric Mas?? and Bardet
- Flat-earthers have come to cycling: everyone tries to fabricate the most intricate plot/conspiracy to appear intelligent.
- The peloton needs to move past LA Doper and its hordes. Why is UCI not doing enough to sanction the whole lot of LA Doper hordes from even indirectly in the sports that they tarnished?
- Good spot that, won't make Jonas happy 😁
- For me, I was able to open up the hip angle allowing me to get a good bit more aero, not so much on the road bike, but some. Mainly you'll see the aero benefits on the TT bike. It took some time to get used to them as well, feels like you are pedaling a kids bike at first, and then they just look odd. I'm 5'11" and ran 172.5 and then 165's until I bit the bullet and went to 155. It took me about 500 miles to really get used to them. Now I wouldn't trade them for anything.
- Yeah, I guess.. Some guys are just so good, they win without thinking or planning. He didn't plan on winning TDF2020 on his debut either, or being the highest paid cyclist in the peloton at 22yo.. I think Tadej is just tired - tired of hearing pundits say races are more exciting when he's not around. He even sarcastically told a reporter, who queried if he is out to win again, that he treats the Dauphine as a validation race, and not to worry because he would retire as soon as his UAE contract expires.
- Don't you ever touch another man's bike, boyyyy!
- Maybe I'm wrong because I don't read anything about it but in my perception he had some symptoms of allergy: hyperventilation, throat itchy (It's impossible that he drank water because he was thirsty after few minutes to start, his throat would itch)
- No, no complots or sophisticated deceptions. Simply, things went bad for Tadej, while the others did very well (Remco) or well (Jonas). From the start, Tadej was breathing excessively (hyperventilating), strangely drinking water just minutes after starting out. I read that in a sector he couldn't control the bike properly... Maybe all of that, and maybe he's still not in shape. It happens.
