Flat sprints at the Tour now give 70 points to the winner instead of 50
That and 2 intermediates sprints during those stages guarantee a sprinter wins green but makes it nearly impossible for a Pedersen to win the jersey and for a surprise rider like NarvΓ‘ez at the Giro to happen
@CyclingWerewolf I find it the same as those wanting riders to speak more their mind and not just what media training tells them to but then will hate when they have opinions, self confidence or even emotions immediately post race
Just see the reactions to Bisiaux Seixas Vauquelin words recently
@CyclingWerewolf That and the dominance coming from a rider they don't like
The people who complain will be the same who will hammer Remco or Ayuso for having off days and being 3rd or 4th behind Pog/Jonas
They dislike dominance, big cracks and no attacks or solos because riders are matched
2/2
@CyclingWerewolf It's all fair, each person likes what they like but you will not find most of those poeple say a race was good more than once per season or so
They just have irrealistic expectations and wishes of what they want to see and how and it leads to them being frustrated

@tadejmooric@Cyclingpredpt I only saw Lenny's interview after
About EulΓ‘lio I wasn't expecting him to come for GC only for support and to feature today maybe tomorrow but I guess the Giro was just too tiring
The trio thing was more about them being the riders I expect to be visible from the team
@ImExoticFarmer Reminds of that 2021 stage where it was raining he went with Pogacar and then did a few km solo chasing him only to get caught and spend the rest of the day on the limit
