- Except when it comes to Italian riders who don’t torture cats ;-)
- Bet many place bets on what AI predicts, without knowing anything about how it is programmed or influenced to predict, or realising how betting companies might manipulate the odds knowing how people will try to gain an “advantage”.
- Everyone knows that Pog i s taking a risk by focusing on training exclusively for the Tour for only a few weeks instead of all year round, as Jonas does. But Plugge could easily mention this as simply a choice that Pog has made, which has been accepted up to now. Instead, he changes the narrative to insist that the real truth is Jonas is naturally better able to handle accumulated fatigue than Pog is. More psychological warfare than marketing.
- Merckx has a crazy number of wins, but so many were meaningless crits. for quality wins, Tadej rivals or surpasses him at similar ages.

- I need rephrase myself. I mean the UAE team pulled Ayuso together with other GC contenders back to Del Toro who was further in front.
Yes, I noticed Del Toro eased off just before the Red Bull bonus point, which I thought was very strange. It was as though he was acting as a domestique even though he was wearing pink.
So, it's not UAE fault that Ayuso can't perform.
- Agree MIJ: this version of Ayuso, a victim mistreated by his team because in the middle of the stage they didn't stop his job hugging him, kissing him, singing him a soothing lullaby can only be conceived by an excited fan (Mr Flecha).
- really? I watched a team that pulled del Toro back because wanted Ayuso captain (stage 11, del Toro could easily catch up Carapaz, but stayed back helping Ayuso, stage 13, Km Red Bull, del Toro stopped to allow Ayuso won seconds). This version of "Ayuso victim" make me laugh. He is arrogant, selfish, never pull for others, he thinks is Merckx... no, he is not. I hope this Giro helps him to mature and give him a dose of reality.
- "Gemini" was unsure but "Siri" told me Carapaz. 😊
- And maybe he struggles to maintain a competitive weight. In cycling it's a major disadvantage.
