Salvo Montalbano Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Wimps aren't doing the Stelvio any more. Looks perfectly fine to me? Rideable? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 (edited) Today's gradient profile is just mental. Almost 18000 feet of climbing, the most in one day on a grand tour stage by some distance. Edited May 19 by peasy23 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Pogacar going for it with 5k of the second last climb left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 And he's picked up 45 seconds over Thomas and the rest in 2km. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Pogacar wins the stage and his overall lead will be pushing 8 or 9 minutes by the time it's done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Thomas & co managed to hold the gap to under 3 minutes, but the only way Pogacar isn't winning this is if he has a bad crash. (Which tbh was already the case before today) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 If Pogi is serious about a giro tour double he really should be knocking off the effort a bit and saving himself. He went pop at last year's tour and that was without the giro. I suppose the difference this year is the question marks around Vingegaard's fitness 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiddy Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 The only worry, is how will this affect hit Tour challenge? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 It can only be said that Pogi has given the Giro & Maglia Rosa the ultimate respect by drilling it for 3 weeks. The out & out favourite, he’s won it by a country mile; when he could have secured the advantage & defended it for the last 2 weeks. However, I can’t see it being anything other than detrimental to his attempt in the Giro/Tour double. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanton Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 As predicted Pogacar dominated this year’s Giro another stage win today and a winning margin of almost 10 minutes, only injury or himself will stop him from dominating 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did kinda wonder if he would coast this week with one eye on Le Tour but maybe the psychological aspect on his rivals of such a massive victory will be worth it - anyway congrats to Tadej! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Remco, Roglic and Aysuo crash hard in a mass pile up at the Dauphine. Remco was left sitting on the road for an absolute age, holding his shoulder, until the stage was neutralised. He did climb back on and pedal in with the peloton. van Baarle and Kruijswijk have abandoned though. van Baarle in particular seemed to be in a bad way as he was loaded into the ambulance. What a disaster this season is turning out to be for Jumbo LAB. Vingegaard still a doubt for the TDF, with sources suggesting it'll be another fortnight before they decide if he's going - the race starts in 3 weeks. van Aert obviously is still a doubt after his big crash at Dwars door Vlaanderen. van Baarle and Kruijswijk almost certainly out of the TDF. Kuss doesn't look like he's in form at all at this race either. It really looks like the TDF will be Pogacar's to throw away, unless his efforts in the classics/Giro catch up to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
