- He will give it everything at P-R if he has already won De Ronde, as this is something (all 5 monuments in 1 year) that even Merckx never accomplished.
- he is what, 27? if one looks at most of the past grand tour winners and such, this start of his prime. so it's more than possible. and the continual upgrades in nutrition, training, equipment and more makes it even more plausible. not all the "help" is illegal.
- sure, not totally disagreeing with you. and Wout timed it perfectly too. I love the guy as a rider, and a person - he seems great. I'm just not reading too much into it. just my opinion.
- HIs parents must have taken his keyboard away for a moment !
- We're not all Pogi haters....just tired of your hero worship on this site!
- Are you still in your parents basement ?
- 3 fingers vs a bloodied and battered left side of Tadeg's body ....not even a fair comparison!
- Thats a fair point. Matthieu didn't look good after the crash&chase and it surely drained him.
But you shouldn't discredit the influence the crash had on Tadej too. Basically we could say the chances had even out if they both fell and cheased.
Maybe Matthieu would have stayed with them. Maybe it would look the same. Or maybe Tadej's attack would be even more devastating. We cannot know it. Everything will remain just a pure speculation.
- MVDP had 3 bloody/cut fingers due it the crash-- no question that affected his performance (as he said)-- i think he would have stayed with Pog & won the sprint otherwise....
- Quintana had a great period from 2103 to 2016, but eventually faded into the background. Still, 51 wins is impressive! The article leaves out the doping and painkiller allegations that derailed his career a few years ago, for which he lost much respect. It’s good to see him leave on his own terms, and maybe one of his accelerations will stick again, this year - but he’s a rider from another decade, and I doubt they will. Still fun to watch, though!
