- MisterMauMau and another poisonous and sneaky comment. When Jorgenson (anonymous inside Movistar) in a few months became a great GC boy, I didn't read you talking about possible Visma uncoverer advantages. Or when Vingegaard, who was 100 in TT, from nowhere, in less than a year, made the best TT in the cycling history.
- No long GC climbs until after the tour is half done (stage 12). Isn't that a bit strange?
However, I predict that a lot of bonus seconds will have been accumulated by this point. There are quite a few early stages where that's possible.
- Road races: Lidl 3, UAE 3, Movistar 2, Q365 2, Bahrein 2.
- Wellens just won the Belgian National Championships Road Race beating Evenepoel and Philipsen. In Dauphine stage 6, he paced behind Lipowitz and kept him at bay on second last climb. During the same stage, Pog was almost 30 seconds faster on Cote de Domancy than Vinge in the ITT from the 2023 Tour.
I don't consider myself an expert, but I follow cycling very close for a long time, and, in my opinion, the Slovenian has just been, powerwise, a different rider starting with stage 14 of Tour 2024 until now. So, VLAB can't beat Pog and UAE anymore, except by accident, and they most likely know it, too. There are no expectations, no tensions, no drama, nothing, at least coming from my side. I just enjoy the show.
- You're using Gianetti's past (similar to many other pasts, who still are active in cycling) to throw shit to Tadej (and a lot of people) based on NOTHING. Your fancy words, your pomposity, your act of being proper and civilized, only hide the fact that you're just a disgusting slanderer. Period.
- Wow, so many of the winners are UAE riders. Their budget must be huge. Is there a maximum budget for world tour teams or is it all you can afford to spend?
- Dirty doper!
- love annamiek, BUT…
it’s not so easy for a superstar on the men’s world tour to just clear the decks and prep for an MTB championship. van der poel has more freedom than ANY of the other big dogs, owing from the fact that he carried Alpecin on his back from its inception and took very very short money compared to what he could have gotten in order to build things at his first and only pro team. everyone knows how much he loves mountain bike, but when he said out loud “i might skip the Tour to prepare for the mountain worlds,” the roodhooft brothers were INSTANTLY like “we sure love him and gosh that’s a nifty idea but, yeah, mathieu knows he can’t do that, not in this universe anyway…” Alpecin’s bread gets buttered on the ROAD, not on the cx or mtb fields.
- I love it when amateurs win national championships!
- Gianetti was on stuff nobody else had access to, nobody yet knows how he got his hands on it, it was experimental (it’s not even sure more than one or two labs ever worked on researching uses for what he took) medical stuff that in the end was considered even too dangerous to be used by doctors in emergencies so, sorry, if he had early access to unavailable products back then, he’s in a good position to have it again, especially as he never had to denounce any supplier or indicate where he got it from
