- That looks like a pope hat with a white cross. Their helmets still look funny to me
- Unfortunately, with the yellow jersey, he has less time for recovery.
- Rather avoid that angle on it ... with Jonas's extraordinary explosivity since the Dauphine, and Jorgenson's disappointing performance in the time trial, people could just as well see the time trial as a rare lapse in Visma's nutrition.
- While Visma wants him in the yellow to allow lesser time to rest, it is also strange that Pogi would sprint to the line ahead of everybody instead of just following the rivals wheel. Also they were pulling the peloton, they could have given them more minutes, Simon is not a challenger here, he is 14 minutes behind. So these are just mind games. Pogi wanted the stage win and the yellow but not the mountains one
- There were stupid to let Merlier off the team for last year
- Maybe the dopers can lend some doping help to Joans and Visma !
- The mistake Vingegaard is making is that he’s trying to keep up with the two best classics riders while not competing in the classics anymore. The only person who can keep up with van der Poel is Pogacar. For Vingegaard to keep trying just means he’s burning energy he needs for later. He could come in at the end of the group on the same time, and not sprint, but he’s sprinting. He’s proud of his best 1 minute energy ever but still did that climb behind Pogacar. This isn’t going to go well for him, not when all indicstions are that Pogacar is as strong as he was last year.
- It would not surprise me at all if Primoz announced his retirement at the and of this season.
- Alpecin-deceuninck would try their hardest to keep Van der Poel, who would probably not move. Also, Van der Poel is good friends with his teammates, so he wouldn't want to leave them. In terms of bring a lead out man, while Van der Poel is an excellent lead out man... there's not much he can do to help Merlier. Merlier beat LiDL-TREK's 4-man leadout for Milan... all by himself.
- Obviously, they want you to rest as little as possible, they want you to waste a lot of time in ceremonies and press conferences.
