- In 5yrs, Pogi will be a top Twitch streamer living on baked goods while Urska is still racing.
- All they learned is that at the end of a 3 week race, Wout can beat him on a slightly bumpy stage. Obviously, this is very much thanks to Wout not racing for GC every day. This doesn't teach them a thing for Jonas beating Pogi. Not saying Jonas will never beat him again. But this absolutely won't have anything to do with it if he does beat him.
- Well, he eventually Pogacar pays the price for his insane spring campaign which was really crazy
- Maybe I was a bit disrespectful to Heiden. What he did was unique and exceptional but he wasn't the only one who combined those distances, nowadays it is just not possible and nobody competes in both distances.
The same is true for cycling with for example the combination of Roubaix and de Tour de France.
In Merckx era there were more riders who managed a top10 in both races than currently.
- Two old men shouting at pigeons in the park…
- Out of touch old men hankering after their youth through rose tinted spectacles, their arrogance almost outshines their irrelevance. Turn the volume down, this modern stuff just isn't music like we used to sing...
- In talking speed skating, the days when Heiden did that, nobody else did that. And Eddy couldn't do the equivalent of the bike. His 200 on the velodrome was good, but not world competitive for gold. Heiden was in his own world on the ice, moreso than Eddy if we pretend Eric didn't have a very short career on the ice.
- They wouldn't have dropped HIM so easily.... the GOAT. They would have dropped the rest from that era easily though
- Merckx was able to win in a break away on a flat (sprinters) stage, what do you mean they did not drop that easily in his time.
Vlaeminck won in the mountains and the classics, but now you need to specialise. The days that a Eric Heiden could win the sprint and the 10k and everything in between are long gone and cycljng is no different
- Carsapaz and Del torro were not capable of chasing Yates. They paused and looked at each other because they didn't have it in them. Yates had kept his powder dry waiting for this stage and demolished both of them. They lost Yates won. Your second guessing is utter nonsense., if either felt they could close Yates down they would have , just like they did countless times for other riders.
They blew up , Yates excelled.
