  You have to ask what would happen if this was Formulae one motor sport. Would the governing body allow a situation like this tragedy to occur again? Would the crash that Tom Pidcock had only a couple of days ago be allowed to happen. Tom was by his own admission lucky but one has to ask what has the UCI done in the intervening period? Yes, a controversial trial of positioning trackers but that’s it. The peril still exists, if someone dies during a grand tour in 2026 there will only be one body responsible and that is the UCI who continually take the profits but are slow on doing what their true roll is and that’s to regulate the sport so people don’t lose their lives unnecessarily.

  This was a much calmer discussion

  It is looking like Giulio Pellizzari will be Vingegaard's biggest rival at the Giro d'italia. He won't be scared away of course but he's not ready to beat Vingegaard yet

  Every time Almeida represents Team UAE in a race, he falters. Maybe he cannot handle the pressure of expectations that come with anyone on UAE. He is not ready for primetime.

  The difference was than in '85, Induráin (aged 20) started the Tour de France as a nobody. He DNF'd. In fact, until '91 when EPO came along and he went full gas with it, Induráin was a nobody with regards to GC. With Seixas, it is completely different. He'll start as a genuine podium threat. As I said on a different thread, the only way Seixas can go to the Tour is if he loses time on the flat stages

  Pogacar is sitting on the couch and is dying of laughter. He found out that he will win Flanders and Roubaix solo and the Tour will be won... by no one within 10 minutes... ha ha ha ha ha ha ...

  I don't think this race lets us see his form, because he raced based on tactics, not to win. Wout Van Aert commented on this, that Van der Poel never pulled quite hard enough. He was trying to get caught, because Philipsen had a better chance of winning than he did sprinting against a more fresh Van Aert. Also, one of the reasons that Vingegaard, Pogacar, Pederson, Van der Poel, and others are superstars is that they recover quickly.

  Pogacar is the greatest already, by far. In Eddy Merckx’s era, it was a different time. Now, everything is so concentrated. You are either a Tour de France rider, or you are a Classics rider or you are a sprinter. He can do everything. Literally everything. Merckx could as well, but that was in an era when everyone was doing everything. This guy is going against Tour de France specialists, he goes against the best Classics guys. Not just the best now, but the best in a long time, like Mathieu van der Poel, and he is putting them to bed. For me, he is the best rider who has ever lived a long, long way. I don’t think we are ever going to see someone like him again, not in my lifetime for sure. Ad acta.

  CORRECTION: Pogi is the greatest ever. Merckx is 2nd. Hinault cannot match the Palmares on the one day monuments, WCs etc. Capish?

  The old farts will never admit... they will never acknowledge the truth, that Pogi is the GOAT. Ad acta!!!
