I’ve realized that in the era of Merckx most cycling fans only read about the races in the newspaper, and in news articles the boring elements are often left out - so people didn’t quite see how boring the Merckx domination could be.

Great analysis. Re: pacing after the crash - if you are on the front you get to set the pace. If a team doesn't like it they can go to the front and set the pace themselves. If you want to take chances at the back of the group that's on you, not on the team eating wind at the front.

Remember that Israel Premier Tech was not pushing just before the crash which stopped half of peloton at 95 Kms far from the end. Usually nobody push and instead allows the peloton to recover. They took the chance because a big crash and that is not fair. Should the race be already blew up with attacks than it would have been normal but taking your chance because of a big crash so far and when the pace was increased all of the sudden it is to me absolutely unfair

As for the Giro-Tour, because of the unfortunate accident that happened at Itzulia, this is definitely Pog's best chance of ticking off the double. However, it will still be hard of course. It is still 42 total days of avoiding crashes and other bad luck and even if Vingegaard might not ride the Tour, Roglic and Remco are no slouch and they are still going to be really tough rivals for Pog, especially with a Giro in his legs. I'm still giving Pog a good chance, of course, of taking the Giro-Tour double.

Bardet was my dark horse pick for the win and I really didn't expect he'd podium. But second is an incredible finish.

Van der Poel had a team mate who was on the front for quite a long time by himself. Did a few more turns when FdJ starting helping, then got dropped. I think Alpecin did make the right call though. The gap was too big. Without the help of the Bahrain team car, Van der Poel's group would never have gotten back on. Alpecin would have taken too much of a risk sacrificing their riders for a small chance of bringing Van der Poel back.

How can the drafting behind a team car to close a 1 min gap go unnoticed and especially unpunished?

@fork8972

13 күн бұрын

It's a bit more nuanced if you watch the full race footage closely. At 74.2km before the line, all the cars are held up due to the narrow road, after which they all pass to the front again (idk why, that's a bit strange from the jury) when the road opens up. At 73km the MVDP group gets behind a car (as also shown here), the Bahrain car, at the same time the convoy completely closes before/catches up to the Pidcock group. That's where the drafting starts, at that point the first group slowed down a lot already and the gap is only 22 seconds. Exact same amount of drafting for the MVDP group as the Pidcock group, certainly no difference there. The MVDP group is then behind the Bahrain car for less than 10 seconds, before the Bahrain car completely catches up to the convoy. Edit: the remark of Patrick that the MVDP group wasn't subject to the barrage is certainly incorrect, as you can clearly see just before 74.2km, where all the cars are behind the MVDP group already. There's really no difference in the amount of drafting between the Pidcock and MVDP group. The only question is why they did undo the barrage after only a few kms.

Ya know, couple years ago I really was rooting against Pogi, not sure why. He seems to be a great kid, and I think especially if Jonas can’t be on form for TDF he is going to win by a lot

Well I watched a race were I knew who was going to win. To me that makes it boring to watch. All as I know most teams would have slowed up I thought it was kinda of chicken 💩 to go full gas with half the field stuck behind a crash. If it was just a few people I had no problem with it. All as I know next time they get caught behind a crash I would go full gas.

I agree... ride on, no need to wait for MVDP. There are too many idiotic notions that riders have to wait under certain circumstances.

Stupid that cars aren't forced to pull off when giving tow to any rider

The only other rider on this planet that can chase Pogi up a hill is Jonas. He makes everyone else look like a amateur. Doesn't even need to get out the saddle for more than a few pedal strokes to create a gap.

@@sudsehun I don’t know the parcours of the olympics road race and I think he isn’t even sure if he will ride it (since he still wants to win the one on a mountainbike). I agree that if he tried harder, he could’ve won the AGR. But you must not forget that that race can be very tactical and pretty much everyone was riding against him and he was isolated (no teammates whatsoever when riders slipped away on the flat). Unless you do a crazy solo like Poga last year, when you’re MVDP or Poga, you need to do a lot of work reeling in attacks while others sit on your wheel. I think MVDP felt that it just wasn’t worth the extreme amount of effort, especially given the little chance he had, because of tactics, at AGR. Besides, he has already won it and it is no monument (which seems to be his focus, plus WC and olympics, since last year) MVDP has been riding smarter and more conservative since last year in most races (apart from E3 and Gent Wevelgem - the latter he lost because of doing so much more work than the others), but he used to be far more wild, impatient and uncontrolled in his efforts. E.g. the AGR he won, he unnecessarily wasted a lot of energy earlier on. In the Tirreno he once did a crazy big solo in horrible conditions and completely hit the wall at the end just won, a few seconds in front of Poga. The day before his first appearance at LBL, where he finished 6th, he had done a 80+km solo to win the BinckBank tour
