- Stage 21 2025 Winner Wout Van Aert. 4th place Tadej Pogacar.
- Stage 21 2025 TDF is something you might want to rewatch.
- It's par for the course when Mauro Gianetti is your role model.
- Dè tha thu a’ ciallachadh nach eil Gàidhlig na h-Alba cudromach........ heretic
- He didn't need to blurt it out in the whole peloton - he'd not have been riding next to Mathieu ALL the time, so when he rides next to his teammates he just says it and van der Poel doesn't need to know. Simple
- He beat them all prior, he can beat them now. So it isn’t unimpressive, but I don’t consider Lipo or anyone else in this field to be a top rider. I think Ayuso, Tadej and Del Toro are head and shoulders above the field for this race.
I’m not saying Jonas hasn’t improved, but until he beats Tadej, he hasn’t accomplished his real goal.
- Actually I believe that the last time 'ċ' (the closest thing to č) was used in the British Isles was in Scottish Gaelic (it was Irish then). It represented the 'ch' sound, which makes the 'kh' sound, similar to Arabic خ.
But Scottish Gaelic is about as closely related to English as Russian is, so that's not too significant.
- you're so wrong. First of all, Naesen asked Van der Poel to not attack. Then vdP gave information, willingly. If Naesen shares that information, then vdP will never tell him anything again in the future. If a friend tells you something in confidence, you keep the secret, that's an ethic which should be kept not only in cycling, but life in general. vdP shared that information with him as a friend. Once that confidence is broken, it's over. Naesen can still use the information to his own advantage. And also in the future, if vdP shares with him and vice versa. Finally, if you're known as a rat, it's just not something that is respected, not just in the peloton.
- in general i agree. however, i doubt that he will be able to close the gaps (explosivity, etc.) in the very near future. he might, however, be able to come close to vingegaard next year, provided he improves further.
- Van Aert's best days are behind him. He can still manage Top 10 but winning a race is almost impossible at this stage in his career. Luck has also abandoned him lately.
