  yeah I was thinking the same - fairly audacious headline.

  So we have a cycling equivalent to the Penisgate storm in a teacup at the Ski Jumping event of this year's Winter Olympics!

  Tadej doesn't have to win the Vuelta with a lead of more than five minutes over the first runner-up. This means he can ride leisurely, or rather, let it be his preparation for the World Championships. In addition, Remco won San Sebastian just seven days after the Tour, the World Championships are 14 days after the Vuelta... So the chances are not even close to 50/50.

  With all the possibilities that are never discussed and would create endless discussion as to whether it would be real doping, I will NEVER lay my hand in the fire to claim ANY rider is clean (especially having experienced something unexpected myself with over the counter medication as an amateur runner whilst sick). People also seem to have very short memories about what has already happened and wasn’t detected (sometimes for decades) until a mistake or thoughtless act occurred or past material was reviewed. It’s a sad fact that almost all those who want to deny the possibility there is doping, do almost ZERO research on the subject but then claim they know the facts. I don’t believe he’s consciously doing anything but that doesn’t mean nothing is happening. As for why he is so successful? He knows his forte and exploits it predictably. The sad thing is the others haven’t yet understood how to neutralise him but I won’t go into that unless someone else starts it off.

  That’s a lot of assumptions but the 3 in a row combination has also already been achieved, not sure that would be specifically desirable to Jonas but am sure Pogi would love to have been the first/only to get all 3 GTs, something Jonas would also maybe have aimed for had Pogi not existed. Legacy is often the result of doing the right thing at the right time and for that you have to be born right. Imagine if Bubka and Duplantis had been of the same generation?

  Was yesterday a snooze fest for you? One of the most interesting results ever in ALL of cycling.

  As has already been suggested (does cutd read comments here to create new content?) Too late, too much strong competition to wear him out if they spread over the 3 tours which no doubt will happen eith each looking for a possible win plus probably tdf participation. Remco, Seixas, Ayuso, Jonas, Lipo plus whoever comes next and all the nearly theres, that’s a lot of quality to ward off over 5 months. It used to be just Jonas just on the Tour. Too late

  Totally ridiculous anyway, so many of the best at that age fade into anonymity. Not dure the selection process is that deeply developed, probably out of fear of losing out to another team. Might be time for teams to rely more on growing talent internally like certain football clubs that have been successful at it for generations Barça, Ajax, etc.

  Very logical once you understand how AI works, that’s why it is called artificial. Not much different from living at an address that Google knows “better” than you. Quantity trumps quality
