- agreed great guy. one of the funniest stories was when he beat MVDP in Liege and his Romain's son was in shock his Dad beat MVDP.
- The headline should be: "Primoz Roglic's bid for historic fifth Vuelta is zero percent since Tadej Pogacar announced his entrance"
- agreed on the processional final lap - I hope the men's race keeps the 90km format of this year's race.
- Kasia wasn't obstructed or ridden into the barriers, bunch of crap that the useful idiots will believe. If you don't want to be in the media's crosshairs, don't do stupid things like ride on the outside line of a bend behind a gassed lead-out rider.
See what I did there?
You also need to watch the actual video again - there's no conspiracy because what happened was actually shown in the live feed: you can see Gery was gassed from leading out Vollering and slows down and then Longo Borghini and Kasia and all the other riders have to go around Gery.
This is racing tactics, the men do it too e.g. Yates leading out Pogacar countless times and then when Pogi goes, Yates is gassed from the lead-out so Jonas, etc have to go around Yates.
Another point: everyone getting worked up about this but it happened with 6.5km to go and Kasia clearly didn't have the legs and needed to be pulled ALL THE WAY TO THE FINISH by Longo Borghini.
All you people thinking the abuse on Gery was warranted need to take a good hard look at yourselves. If you truly believe this one incident of 1-2 seconds 'obstruction' made the whole difference and that Kasia deserved to win, then you are not a true cycling fan.
- I remember so well when he was about to win the Giro ten years ago, race almost over, a good lead in GC, then everything came crashing down.
- Certainly helps to not have the whole thing feel like a somewhat forgone conclusion. Not having the processional final stage is much better IMO. More high stakes racing, right to the last gasp.
- I don't mind the occasional Lance article, but guys, Michael Rasmussen? Come on now.
- Ah so cute! You and Pogi side by side forever!
- Doper Lance only climbed well because of PEDs!
Demi lives now in Switzerland - mountains everywhere!
It's not where you are born that determines if you are a great climber ! Sheesh !
- > it was a dicey move, very aggressive perhaps. but wrong? well no one was relegated so it was ok.
>as Demi said, when she was in yellow, no one waited for her.
Was Kasia relegated for not waiting for Demi?
Well no one was relegated so it was ok.
Even Demi's team ignored her.
