  Come on, it's not serious and you know it. But If your happiness is winning arguments, even with sophistry, ok. I like making people happy: YOU'RE RIGHT.

  The word is that Jonas is running 150mm cranks on his road bike, I can't tell on his TT bike but they look much shorter. I moved to 155mm cranks at the end of 2023 for both my road bikes and my TT bike, it's been a game changer for me and looks to agree with Jonas as well.

  as of the day he rode the TT in yellow at the TDF in ‘21, mvdp had NEVER been in a wind tunnel and NEVER ridden his TT bike a single day except for the days he had to in stage races. that day he finished 5th, one second behind wout, and hung on to his yellow against all expectations.

  well THIS is music to my ears. i’ve always thought — and said here several times — that van der poel SHOULD be a great time trialist, and the only reason he isn’t is that he just never gives his all unless it’s an event HE genuinely cares about, and for whatever reason he’s just never liked TTs. but his natural riding position is beautifully aerodynamic, and he has the ability to empty his tank to a degree that i think is basically unmatched. i hope his passion for this event grows.

  So he went from not doing the Vuelta to doing it for training. Guillen must have called his boss

  That said, we’ve seen Jonas being real good in TT before but this was really short and favoured others more.

  People forgot that EVERY rider not past his peak can attain new levels and that no-one can tell when that happens. Last year Tadej and Remco did it and Tadej kind of again this spring but in a different register, this year it’s Mads, and maybe now Jonas? After the jump there is usually a plateau or even a lull before any more improvements so it’s unlikely Tadej will be even better at the Tour whereas it’s likely Jonas could be.

  Considering the « unlimited » budget they have, that they’re prepared to pay their leader 8 per year, paying a very good domestique who can take over for the leader in emergency or replace when leader isn’t present (winning around 15x already at this age) 2 per year is the price to prevent him becoming a rival at another team until such time as said leader slows or stops. In the meantime, it wouldn’t be in their interest to allow a chap with this character to develop into leader challenging shape so who is to say if he is receiving optimal guidance for developing into a leader beater?

  I'm not quite ready to declare Tadej DOA. But it is fantastic to see Jonas back at such good form after a lacklustre spring

  In your opinion, the UAE pays a multi-million dollar contract for years to retain a talent, but its real goal is to get a good domestic? I don't believe it.
