- JV blocked me years ago
- Something needs to be done / races being so predictable is the death of the sport - who will pay to watch this on TV which is the whole financial model - revenue for organizers and exposure for sponsors
- What don't you ask him?
- That's a good idea, this is how it used to be, like in Greg Lemonds era, he was the biggest paid rider & his domestiques where not on his wage - tho how many Arab countries sponsor cycling teams now ? if they didn't, what'd be left..
- Someone offers JV $40-50mill a season to play with his tune would be different. Funny how its the less wealthy teams who shout
- Sorry, but you misunderstand.
Pogačar has to follow them all. They don't work together, but if one is stronger on Col du Haag, one on Plateau du Solaison, one on Alpe d'Huez, then that's like a rider who is stronger than him. Like in 2023, the cumulative physical stress of following a stronger climber could then cause him to crack on Col de Sarenne.
- when he repeats this - in case it happens - during his big goal the tour, many of his critics will be silenced.
- Will certainly be an interesting Tour. The top guys all having different preparations . Pog, a relatively normal prep. Vino, Giro (was seen as impossible until pog proved it can be done). Remco, abnormal prep..no racing prior and Sexias.. I haven't followed but probably a normal prep. If Pog wins, Vino will cite fatigue from Giro and Remco will say he needed more racing before the Tour. And please gods above, no accidents or injuries to these guys. May the strongest win.
- Works in the NBA. With few exceptions in the past, there were only few serial winners.
- Vingegaard, Lipo or Seixas are not going to be teaming up just to beat Pogacar. They have to protect their interests as well as their teams. I am guessing Pogacar would have already gained a lot of time on his rivals by the time he cracks so it may not matter much if he cracks on one or two days. He’s just a better climber than anyone else and therefore expected to last longer than anyone else.
