- Why don't you idiotic fools check numbers of DelToro, Jorgenson and Pellizzari from Tirreno-Adriatico and check Jonas's from Paris-Nice... and everything will be clear in the numbers. Check how much slower Vauquelin was on Algarve-Malhao climb than Ayuso and Vaquelin on PN vs the Danish Anchovy on a similar hill profile. It's not about by how much the Danish Anchovy beat the second ranked rider, but who he raced again. The only first class rider, after Ayuso crashed, was the the Danish Fish...all the others were third class cyclists. Ad acta!!!
- You're a total fool who keeps proving over and over again, how much you really hate Pogi. We're talking about road racing... not mountain bike or cyclocross or acrobatic cycling. Stop being an idiotic philosopher, who believes in magic, fairies, and blood rituals; but you see yourself as the apex of reason. I feel sorry for you.
- I would be interested to see someone battle UAE if they can keep him and add some support. Pogacar seems cool, but also rarely seems challenged, which I think he would like.
- The definition of a "ciciban race" (a race for minors - children), that does not allow the best cyclist to show he is the best, but allows cyclists, who are two to three levels lower, to fight for the victory. Examples are Milan SanRemo and similar races. Almost anyone can win it. From 2008 to 2024 we had a different winner each year (17 different riders)... and since 1907, 85 different riders have won Milan-SanRemo. Yeah, like I said, a ciciban race. 🚴🚴🚴
- yes, yes, yes, yes
- Or maybe spare riders like you to take over, like stunt doubles?
- Yeah, death is just a fortunate side-effect for enhanced media interest, let’s encourage it.
Focus on your favs if he kills your buzz, BUT nobody is asking them the same questions.
By the way, I can guarantee you amateur races are more dangerous
- BS and maybe he was close to his limit but he looked totally focused and relaxed and even played games, Tadej on the other hand looked unusually nervous.
He actually let up once but didn’t like the speed MVDP swept past realising MVDP wasn’t actually as close to the limit as he’d hoped and considering it too dangerous to let him go to try to team up with Ganna.
Want to back up your opinion with reasons, why the hell would Tadej want to relay with MVDP to the finish alone at MSR?
Also, WHO did they need to get away from? Ganna was getting killed by the distance already (and chapeau to him for holding on the chase, he was as strong as Tadej that day).
I thought Tadej the solo expert didn’t ever need help?
Truth is MVDP had Tadej checkmate and was controlling him and his lack of racing strategy, Tadej would have had (a slightly) better chance with a better attack at the finish if he’d eased up to let Ganna back and make it a threesome.
- Sometimes I wonder what certain people would have done in their lives without the Pog, following the most obvious athlete in cycling gave them a reason to live it seems.
Did Phelps win anything over 400m?
Did Bolt ever perform in a marathon, or even a 10k, let alone a cross country race or orienteering?
Pog is the middle distance runner as opposed to MVDP the decathlete, you only compare on comparable ground even if both use the “others” events for their own reasons and goals.
A very silly argument you made considering what MVDPs reasons for and position on the TdF has always been, it’s a bit like asking Pog to do cyclocross except that he really avoids that whereas MVDP still lets himself be convinced of participating in the TdF.
- He has a great hill to climb but he is also very ambitious and dedicated so who knows, with a little therapy it is possible.
We have been so used to the years of JV/TP obsession that everyone already supposed February/March is the decisive moment to analyse the Tour outcome without noticing how some showed excellent form and then faded and others that weren’t noticeable were suddenly mixing it with the best.
And if you consider what Jonas still achieved after his crash, it’d be foolish to write off a Remco with 5 months of adaption to play with.
Besides, with the added capable candidates this year, the race is going to be far more strategic and interesting with for sure some of the chasers being able to hitch valuable rides on the others’ efforts so for me, this is going to be the most competitive and unpredictable race in years.
