Figueira Champions Classic

- Watching Wout lead out Brennan gives massive flashbacks to Van der Poel launching Philipsen to four stage wins back in 2023. Six wins (currently) for Visma this year is an incredible return, but for Brennan to do this on his Tour debut is on another level entirely.
Genuinely unbelievable to watch, proper proud British moment.
- They are in cyberspace, belongs to no-one, yet.
- Psst, wrsty... and other Pogi haters:
A Bob Dylan song: A remake PogiSloFans
How many watts can one man push
Before the Garmin starts to scream?
How many climbs can Pogi crush
Before the Tour becomes a dream?
He rolls out smiling in the Alps,
The rivals whisper, “Not today…”
Then Pogi stands and hits the gas
And suddenly he’s miles away.
The answer, my friends
Is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
He attacks before the cameras blink,
He attacks again for fun,
He attacks because the road looks nice,
Then attacks because he’s won.
“Just follow him!” the team cars shout—
A bold plan lasting half a mile.
Then Pogi launches up the hill
And waves goodbye with that famous smile.
The answer, my friends
Is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
Everyone rides for second...
While Pogi rides for glory.
- He's 22, another young rider signed for 3 years. Again, where is the impending doom?
They have won 5 stages at the Vuelta, 3 by Matthew Brennan, a 21 year old. Their superstar has 2 stages and the points jersey. They will exit the Vuelta with a jersey - as they did at the Giro. 2 out of 3 GTs with a jersey and stage winners in each is a great season, plus monuments, classics, and one week races. While some of the best riders were recovering during various times of the year.
I just don't see this team collapsing as much as some seem to wish it was. And this will barely end up a "down year".
- Pogi is not racing he crashed out lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
- Even Britain did better at leaving than you. You just can’t resist can you. There’s a word for that. Actually, you can choose from a few.
- C’mon man, we got your point (even if not everyone agrees) but don’t make yourself look silly by insisting.
According to the listing here (which no-one so far has called out for being wrong or incomplete, I’m not going to check), by my calculations we are at 11200CHF after 15 stages, 8 of them had zero, there is only doubt about stages 8 and 11 but it won’t make much difference.
How on earth do you think they’ll get to 63k, there aren’t enough commissaires and hours to write fines for every rider?
- Sometimes I can still hear Mou's voice on the wind..
- If he never won another race he'd still be worth his weight in gold to the team as a fan favourite to trot out, so I'm sure they aren't worried about anything
- Yes, I guess they will have done that. But Pog having to sign it less than a week after a severe concussion, with initial recovery interrupted by a lengthy operation, the timing seems wrong to me. But that's just my feeling/opinion.
