  I watched the last 40k. Wout's body lanquage spoke volumes. In the last 10k. Remco was nose breathing. Wouts jaw was dropping with his mouth wide open he was just hanging on. He made a good fist of disguising it and taking turns, you could see that he was tiring. This will do him good, he will come good I'm sure. It's getting harder and harder though with Pogagar and Evenpoel around.

  Maybe his knee injury and subsequent power loss on that leg. Otherwise, there is no reason why Wout can't score a win this season.

  Sure, hopefully Islam will work out for the best. There's a first time for everything.

  If you pick the right years 1948 43,5km/h 1964 45,1km/h If you look at every year you see the progression used to be in steps and became more rare and gradual, there still seem to be steps sometimes but pretty small. The two biggest influences are 1. how the race evolves on the day and 2. wind direction. It seems high speed is now more consistent, probably because the way of racing has focused towards that, gone are the days of the leisurely 30km/h outing in preparation for a few hundred meters of sprinting towards the end.

  Not too fast. An hour faster than 40 years ago with far better surfaces, equipment and nutrition plus it was dry and had the wind behind a lot of the time.

  I’m pretty sure they have their priorities in a good order and they both seem to be the opposite of those who try to dictate their beliefs onto others,

  Anything else would be discriminatory towards certain types of riders.

  I like the idea of a variety of profiles over the years, giving any kind of rider a chance.

  absolutely! Emotional "wounds" are the most complicated and difficult to heal (if they heal at all). I hope these are journalistic exaggerations and none of the Visma leaders suffer this kind of emotional wounds.

  If you have a crash or something fearful scary then facing that at a later time helps you overcome it lets not forget Jonas V didn't get up off the ground at Itzulia so has mental scars to surmount not only physical. To pick yourself up is ½ way to healing and getting over the problem!
