Thanks for your reply. But your view of all these things is just so different from mine that maybe we should just agree to disagree!17:22

Where I live, Pogacar is a well-known name amongst people who would otherwise never follow cycling. The world is much bigger than a few online sites.08:53

You could have written this without spiteful tone, but I guess you're confident you'll get upvotes.14-09-2026 22:15

If he had a repeat concussion he would probably have to retire in a much worse state. (And his fiancee has just had a repeat of her bad fall of a few months ago, showing a repeat is not unlikely.) Maybe best if he retired now, rather than taking his chances.14-09-2026 22:07

Somehow Seixas went to sleep just as Del Toro launched his sprint. Seixas says he's still learning, and he won't make that mistake again. And Remco still beat Pidcock in the sprint for fifth after burning too many matches. Should be a great Worlds race indeed!14-09-2026 07:30

It is confusing, but my guess is that they expect it to be a procession until the last lap, by tacit agreement of the peloton.13-09-2026 09:16

Er, no. IDL reports that the Vuelta viewing figures did drop noticeably after Pog crashed out.13-09-2026 09:13

PogiSloFans, sadly recent concussion research shows the ill-effects on the brain last many months, long after symptoms clear up.12-09-2026 20:46

It looked like a camera bike was close in front of Dunbar at one stage too. In general, they have tended to stay too close to riders before .oving off.11-09-2026 20:58

Yes, I guess they will have done that. But Pog having to sign it less than a week after a severe concussion, with initial recovery interrupted by a lengthy operation, the timing seems wrong to me. But that's just my feeling/opinion.08-09-2026 09:19
