  Maybe I'm wrong because I don't read anything about it but in my perception he had some symptoms of allergy: hyperventilation, throat itchy (It's impossible that he drank water because he was thirsty after few minutes to start, his throat would itch)

  No, no complots or sophisticated deceptions. Simply, things went bad for Tadej, while the others did very well (Remco) or well (Jonas). From the start, Tadej was breathing excessively (hyperventilating), strangely drinking water just minutes after starting out. I read that in a sector he couldn't control the bike properly... Maybe all of that, and maybe he's still not in shape. It happens.

  Wasn’t it 10km? Always possible though he’s not much if a planner ;-)

  We’ve seen the basis of this with other riders/teams (where less money was involved but UAE money is cheap) already, how can you exclude it? Happens in orher sports too.

  Can you elaborate a bit on what difference you notice or feel or how it changes your perception of effort on various types of terrain/intensity? Any pain or stress relief for sensitive parts?

  Hey, Mads is even contemplating altitude training. We oldies should know better, nothing like time to help a young mind mature ;-)

  Does anyone think this result could have been "planned" by Tadej? I mean, yes he lost a lot of time but you didn't see him really push after exiting corners getting up from the bike, he even used his water bidon (on a 17km TT?) to take a sip... he started at a steady controlled pace and maintained that pace throughout the stage, no pushing at the end to limit time loss... Could this be some kind of bluff by Tadej? "Oh no, I didn't manage my effort, look guys I'm so vulnerable..." and then in the Tour de France crush them once more? We'll have to wait and see!

  Good luck Robin. I'm glad you are on the mend. Life is wonderful. Keep focussed on that.

  Come on, it's not serious and you know it. But If your happiness is winning arguments, even with sophistry, ok. I like making people happy: YOU'RE RIGHT.

  The word is that Jonas is running 150mm cranks on his road bike, I can't tell on his TT bike but they look much shorter. I moved to 155mm cranks at the end of 2023 for both my road bikes and my TT bike, it's been a game changer for me and looks to agree with Jonas as well.
