  Headline putting Elie Iserbyt’s words in MVDP’s mouth!

  The MVDP headline was the writer putting Elie Iserbyt’s words in MVDP’s mouth - usual clickbait.

  Tadej can dominate hilly terrain. he might be better at the hilly stuff than a pure mountain stage. he is almost unstoppable in terrain like Liege or Flanders

  they need to do some of the basics though as race organizers, I mean really - keep the freaking cars off the roads with the cyclists. and why do they need police all the time? I go to marathons and local races and local people volunteer. if I was running the race I'd ask for local cycling enthusiasts to work in conjunction with the pros. give them free t-shirts, some cool swag, and racer access and they will show up like crazy to help out. they can help watch traffic, etc. there is zero creativity in thinking through these issues it seems. it is just "this is all we have, blame the cyclists" while worrying about sock height and handlebar width, if you're the UCI.

  his "new mindset" had him wanting to race the Euros - so not sure how much his mindset has changed. He is doing a crit end of November. These guys are racers. it is funny, Van Der Poel was allegedly going to take the winter off from cross, and now he is talking about being back because he can't stand the thought of someone else being World Champion. today's headline on this site. This is a champion's mentality. New baby be damned. Tadej is the same. MVDP had nagging back injuries of a different type. I don't think they are comparable. Mikel Landa had the same type of stable fracture of the vertebra and he won state 20 of the Vuelta this year. I really think this is a lot of to do about nothing to keep us talking while no racing is going on. and it is working LOL.

  he was put under standard concussion protocol assuming the worst. UAE confirmed no neurological impairment was detected during Pogačar's initial hospital assessment. Later, the team emphasized that his concussion required graduated rehabilitation and neurological monitoring alongside treatment for his fractures. but to say it was servere, that is a relative thing. he was riding I think 17 days later on a stationary bike. not sure how "severe" it was. He even tried to get back on his bike after the crash.

  as for the psychological affects, if he crashed going downhill, that is where the affect would be. See Wout's comments on his crashes. it was a stupid crash at a mundane part of the stage. if anything he won't take these situation for granted.

  he broke the C7. It is at he base of his neck/shoulder. stable fracture. it won't affect his aero position. it could affect his ability to look up. but ZERO affect on positioning. I'm 56, I had a lumbar spinal fusion. after a lot of work, I'm more flexible than ever. this will have zero affect on him, or maybe 0.5% at best.

  Father Time will get him. As for the crash being in the back of his head, all crashes are in the back of someone's head - BUT the it is the situation that causes the crash. if he had crashed going downhill as a daredevil, that would be in the back of his head. to your point, he will be more cautious during the lackadaisical portions of a stage.

  Bernal also had a knee injury... Pog's injuries were far less than Froome's & Bernal's -- no comparison...
