- Good lord, what has has this comments section turned into? There was a time when it was a place for good intellectual discussion...
Rafionain-Glas17-05-2026 - Make it like Voeckler style.!!
PAULO17-05-2026 - Your fanboy love for Jonas is showing ! You keep denying it but we all know you are his #1 fanboy! Now have mommy take your keyboard away.frieders317-05-2026
- I think you are right. He's holding back. It is extremely important for him to win the Giro. But is is equally important to do it in a way that doesn't compromize his chances in the tour. Quintanas record is 9 years old. The top ten on the stage all beat Quintanas record. Jonas is not peaking or showing his real strength yet. He doesn't have to.ColdeLaLozeGoneandDead16-05-2026
- Good point. But the route design - with most mountains placed in the end of the Giro - doesn't allow for tapering in the last week of the Giro. And wouldn't tapering be placed closer to the tour in June? So far there has been a lot of zone 2 like intensity, which is ideal for building a base and endurance for the tour. Add some controlled intensity like Blockhaus yesterday and this is near perfect training for the tour. No teams seems interested in making this a hard Giro - and Visma doesn't have to make it hard to win. I think Visma are very happy with how things are playing out.ColdeLaLozeGoneandDead16-05-2026
- Surely it would also be better to plan to use more energy in the first week of the Giro, where it could be regarded as 'training', than in the last week, where tapering down with the Tour in mind would be wiser? I don't know, just wondering.Hills3316-05-2026
- he broke quintana's record so his form is peak but how they approach the next stages in the third week, whether attack or follow will decide the overall strategyabstractengineer16-05-2026
- Considering both beat Quintana's record, Gall did a performance of his life. Now whether he can repeat is the question, that too in the third week.abstractengineer16-05-2026
- You win the internet for the day?
Andrew16-05-2026 - I am wondering if VISMA is planning to win the Giro but without burying Jonas. So that the Giro really becomes a build for TDF. What do you all think?Cbastnagel16-05-2026
