Cycling Pro Cycling Discussion 3: 2024 The Year of Crashes?

[BangBang]

Just seen in the post race Pogacar said the move by Yates and him riding across was all instinct.....Pog dates to be great more than anyone else in the Peloton by some margin.

 

[therealdope]

Yeah, Jonas said after the race that he rode well and did some very good watts himself, but that if Pogacar is at going to be at that level, there is nothing to be done - yet he also still believes that things can be different on the long stages to come.

I know equipment, preparation and training has improved by leaps and bounds in the past 20 years... but I can't help but feel some concern that these guys are absolutely blowing out times set by Pharmstrong and the gang.

Not normal, to quote the uniballer.

 

[BangBang]

Did you see that prick at the side of the road throwing crisps (potato chips) into Pog and Vinne's face as they rose past. What a fucking knob head!!!!!

But he isn't normal, like it's not normal to win 35 stages of the tour or what Remco has done in short time in the World Tour. They are generational riders,

I present UAE strategy for tomorrow: Deny Visma in the break, force carbs in Pogs piehole.

Consistently steep finale tomorrow and stage harder too.

Apparently he’s being pulled into court over that

Vingegaard! Pogacar! You know what to do!

Vingegaard! Pogacar! You know what to do!

That tour was bonkers. Festina affair, rider strike, Rudolpho Massi lighting it up and tehn being outed as a major drug trafficker. Bobby Julich third!

Carlton Kirby said, " I've never met a grumpy Canadian".

therealdope response: Hold my beer Carlton.

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

Team LAB pacing today….you know what that means. The lab is cookin

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

The pelo small as shit already

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

Hindley and mas are fucked once they hit the valley they’ll lose nearly the whole gap

 

[Videer]

What a disaster for EF yet again!

Edit i am blind

 

[Vergilius]

Here we go!

 

[Videer]

Super Remco charging up! I can feel it! My body is ready!

 

[Vergilius]

Jorgenson putting in the watts for Jonas, Almeida dropped from the front group.

 

[Videer]

Break gonna get gobbled up in about 2 km of uphill lol

 

[Videer]

Yates must force feed some carbs to Pog while he stlil can! Dump some water on him while at it

 

[Vergilius]

Question is if Jorgenson has what it takes to make it hard enough for Jonas to attack. Big weakness for Jumbo that Sepp Kuss isn't there to put the dagger in.
