Memorial Rik Van Steenbergen

- Clown boy making outrageous statements again.
- Guesdom with his gruesome wisdom... but I agree in that it would have been better for Wout to wait. Given how he dropped everyone he'd have had no problem with dropping both on the asphalt Nokereberg, the final climb. With Grègoire to assist him before then, he may have able to hold out for 200 m more to take the win.
None of this matters for Groupama-FDJ because Grègoire would've been caught anyway
- Pogi will Drop MVDP, MVDP will drop Van Aert, Remco will be dropped by all. If MVDP and Van Aert work together, it is possible to bring back Pogi but considring that MVDP did not work properly last time, Van Aert will refuse
- 100% agree. Even at his strongest, Armstrong wouldn't dare attempt what Pogacar pulls off with regularity. I remember one time where Ullrich attacked on the Tourmalet when the race was to finish in Luz Ardiden. Both the solo attack, and Armstrong responding to neutralize it on his own, were simply unheard of at the time.
Now we almost take such exploits from Pog and Vingegaard for granted.
- I agree, he can try...
LOL!
As I already wrote, he should never have won GT (Rogla DNF) and he never will again (Tadej, Jonas, Florian, Paul).
Monument only after Tadej DNF.
- Look, winning 7 Tours can be a massive achievement, but it can't compare with Pogi or Merckx. Last year Pogi won the Tour, the WC, and was on the podium in Monuments 5X (3X1st, 1X2nd and 1X3rd)...never before done in history. Now compare this with Armstrong!?!?!?
- Not wishing I'll will but Pogacar & MvdP have never had a bad crash of those listed 👍
- I'd like to see Remco win, that'd be exciting 💪
- As much as i despise him he is spot on was there a clean rider in his era??? At the top of the sport..
- Winning 7 Tours (in a row!) is still a massive achievement. In 140 stages, Armstrong had only a handful of bad days, and almost no bad luck. Even in the one Tour in 2003 where the team didn't get their boosting products, he still managed to stay with Mayo and Ullrich at the front while the rest of the team was way down the mountain.
It would be cool if Pogacar could get 6 Tours. But the pressure of last year's Tour coupled with dangerous riding made it look pretty unpleasant. It might be nice for him to take a Tour off and let the "fans" find something else to complain about.
