Another pointless sprint
I don't know if it is pointless. Sure it doesn't gain any time, but for Pogacar to win this race he needs JoVing to tire. And every bit of work he makes him do empties the tank a little. It empties his too, but he will hope by less.Twitter: @RichN950 -
Bruyneel mentioned Bernal has a lower watts/kg than both of them. These 2 could be the dominant force for yrs. But that was said about Nairo and back in the day Ullrichbianchi_dave said:No one can live with this pair. Even Bernal at his best would struggle to go with them

Great, great climb by Bling. Thoroughly deserved win. As with everyone else, I though Bettiol had broken him, but no, he dug very deep and it paid off.0

I'm not sure a lifetime ban from the sport you made your living in is many people's definition of success.rick_chasey said:

Not sure this is the thread to discuss the merits or otherwise of the haphazard ban process for two generations of rampant doping.andyp said:

He only got ten years. He'll be eligible for a comeback next year. Go on Bahrain, people have already labelled you dopers.
Also I hate to agree with Rick, but JB really knows his cycling. For power numbers though they are estimates with large margins of error, so it might not pan out in a race,Twitter: @RichN950 -
Interesting article on pogacar - wondered why Mathews sought him out after the stage win today… :-)0

Btw, I'm not disputing he knows cycling, but I very much doubt he knows Bernal's actual watts per kg numbers (or Vingegaard or Pogacar's).0

So it was. Meanwhile redacted rider 8 (Ekimov) sits on the UCI’s Professional Cycling Council as he is protected by Russian oligarch and friend of dictators Igor Makarov, the power behind David Lappartient’s career. You can see Rick’s point about hypocrisy.andyp said:
