I just donโt understand Carapaz here.
He could easily win stages and maybe the KoM. But at the moment it seems he is going for a random Top 10-12
Jorgenson is on UAE's black list because he foolishly trash talked Pogacar at the 2024 TDF.
No way this stage suits a versatile sprinter.
Movistar gotta bring valverde back for the vuelta
Everything is set up for pogi to complete the greatest performance in cycling history these three weeks
When I saw Dino suits out on course, it really got my hopes up that Patrick decided to own it like a man. In truth, he was hiding at home like a cowardโno Dino suit in sight. Sad.
It would make more sense for Trek to put Mads & a Vacek/Simmons in the break. Guaranteed points + chance to win for him/his tugbuddy & it cooks less of the team
Bring back Valverde!
Pogi should mess with the organisers and go for the green after he basically gave it up last year so a sprinter could win it and they changed the rules anyways ๐
We will see who has got it in the high mountains stages. I think it will prove difficult for Tadej to drop Jonas
These last two days of Pogi not in yellow have been the most refreshing days of my life
"Pogacar should be winning these". Is there something other than bunch sprints that Pogacar should not be winning? Like his casual Suisse climbing performance is better than Jonas ever was…
Day 2/3 Unc Patrick using 67 meme
I'm laughing at the witty parody (~11:40): "Prime Minister Bart Weber contacted UCI president David Lappartient and formally instructed him to ensure Arnaud De Lie (Belgian Sprinter) is classified within the (RDF) time limit." Well played… made me giggle heartily.๐
Guys, I'm following your predictions for my Fantasy team and it's not going good. ๐ Last year I won my friends' league thanks to you though
Visma needs Seixas to have any chance of winning TDF in 2028.
the teams need to take heed of today. strongest guys outside of top ten in break. no team but uae on the front.
love from portugal
Pogi's hair is Eminem reincarnated…
Some of the closed captions are completely wrong, like using Decathlon's old team name, Amador instead of Amirail at 12:23, Kelderman instead of Cian at 12:45
The captions, lol. Tourmalet became Tour de Romandie
Benoot is climbing really well
Simmons from the breakaway tomorrow.
If total stage places is tied, I believe tiebreaker is result in most recent stage.
I had to watch this upside down because you guys are sitting on the wrong sides
