The mistake you make is making this causal. There’s no way to know what would have happened without a vaccine. That’s why medical research is really really hard and anecdotes like yours carry little weight. (Speaking here as a researcher, so let’s just not have a debate you’re going to lose, thankyouverymuch.)15-02-2026 22:43

Pidcock was the only one to put the fight to Pogacar last year and probably learned along the way. Who knows. I always assume Pogacar will win, but sometimes no, and that makes for great racing moments.15-02-2026 22:38

What a wet stage. I love it when the breakaway wins, especially with a Conti rider. Fabulous!13-02-2026 16:19

Hincapie was hanging out with the cameraman at a point in the circuit, the Ironman folks would go by at speed, hincapie would mount and catch up to them, then turn around and come back to talk more with the cameraman. Totally different riding, of course. The cameraman told the story to point out just how strong even a retired rider was.05-02-2026 18:04

I saw him race in Quebec, and it's always great to see a Canadian in Canada. Great guy, and I love the premise of what he says. (The following story has a point!) I met a guy who has been a camera man for cycling (and talked about all the ways cyclists find wind shadows) but now spends most of his time working cameras (either on slope or as a producer) for skiing. He was telling me how he watched the world's best ironman athletes doing a circuit race on some Caribbean island while talking to a long retired George Hincapie. Every round of the circuit, Hincapie would launch and chase down these top ironman guys as if it was nothing. The cameraman's point was that even a retired cyclist who is still riding has something above and beyond. Let's see how Woods does!04-02-2026 23:10

A rider from another era, all his wins were in the teens, and he’s one of many coming to his late 30s while still riding strong for the team. Congrats on a solid career. Who preceded him as a Slovenian rider in the top ranks? It’s folks like Mezgec who paved the way for Mohoric, Roglic, and Pogacar (as always, sorry about the lack of correct accents).17-01-2026 15:12

Always came across as a great human being, his interviews typically had him with this private smile, friendly but also amused at the whole situation, and his ability as a rider let us see him pretty often in those interviews. Two grand tours, a spectacular letdown in a third, and solid riding throughout his career. I've enjoyed watching him throughout his career, and wish him the best with what comes next. Also, what, only one Yates in the peloton? How can that be?!07-01-2026 18:35

Good lord, of course it’s Pogacar. The point of this post was to praise Roglic, and sometimes people deserve their time in the spotlight.05-01-2026 01:36

Bora sounds like an exciting team, right now. And I wish Roglic all the luck in winning again. Between him and that other guy, Slovenia has been doing pretty well at the Grand Tours, sure, but it’s Roglic who started it.03-01-2026 21:52

I’m guessing that yes, all of us commenting in this site are aware that that is a possibility. But watching van der Poel smash it at Roubaix, time and time again, I think it’s fair to say that he’s used raw strength plenty of times to win races. What Nibali refers to as tactics at MSR is honestly the luck of having Ganna in the wheel to bridge to. Had Ganna not been there, I’m not sure van der Poel would have made it. Then again, he had the raw strength to actually catch up on the Cipressa.03-01-2026 21:40
