- Always enjoy Rowe's dialog. Dopers suck, but bullies suck too. There's probably a better way.
- Just by listing Froome in this headlline makes this the laugh of the day!
- And commentators used to call UAE a weak team...
- Remember when commentators were saying UAE was a week team?
- The team car didn't make a difference. When Yates went up the road it was Del Toro's job to chase him, unless Del Toro had no legs.
- Sometimes something that appears too good to be true actually is.
- There's no reason to be making excuses at this point, Isaac. Now is the time to move on, to learn from your mistake(s), and to prepare well for 2026.
- I still think he had no chance that day, from the way he described his legs not having more in them. Had he chased Yates, which he said at the time he wasn't capable of, Carapaz would have passed them both at some point. Had Carapaz chased Yates, del Toro likely would have been dropped at some point. And Carapaz, without a satellite rider up front, similarly didn't have much of a chance when Yates was in such good form compared to them. Del Toro wasn't going to last. In some ways, it reminds me of how Tom Dumoulin had no chance against Fabio Aru at the Vuelta, that first miraculous year that Dumoulin showed up out of nowhere (what a great race that was, and he got SO CLOSE to catching them, but sigh). At some point, the team with the winning strategy and strength ended up winning.
- why is he working on his TT aero position, and how will that close the gap to Tadej? he just beat him soundly in the world TT championships.
impressive that he’s doing this, but if he wants to close the gap, figure out how to handle Tadej’s climbing attacks.
- Too bad for you to see it that way. Wout was at the end of a 16 month stretch during which he rode 4 Grand Tours - plus a full classics schedule and some CX - and had two career-threatening injuries. The argument that he "hid" for 20 stages is ludicrous; he himself acknowledged that he tried repeatedly to get into breaks, win stages, etc. but just didn't have it. That he found it on the last day was thrilling from both a competitive and a human standpoint. Even if you root for Pog,that was one of the epic moments of the whole season.
