@emsalie@dharmashhh I feel like Jonas fans feel oddly protective like he needs them to ‘stick up’ for him even though, barring Pogi, he’d be the greatest stage racer this century. The two have mutual respect. And Pogi is by far the better rider 😂😂😂
@dharmashhh I’ll never understand how or why some cycling fans hate on these guys. I’m a UAE fan but I can root for everyone…. Even Remco when he’s throwing a fit and overestimating his chances, respect!
Don’t get the love to hate Pogi/Isaac crowd
@RyanDuff99 IDT and Lipowitz are far stronger TT riders than Gall. Ayuso hasn’t shown the consistency climbing of any of the other three. Its advantage IDT unless Jonas/Remco/Seixas show up. If they do we’ll have a battle
@festinaboy I agree that reading is beneficial/preferable to not. Also am a big Pogacar fan and a voracious reader so there’s half your theory debunked. As for Pogi… if you are the single best human at something valuable you can skip books too! 😜
I have an off the top of my head hot take: Big Rich Paul Seixas will leave Decathlon CMACGM. He’s going to Visma. It’s his best long term play and Jonas can use him a’la Roglic circa 2023 to play the long shot 2 v 1 against Pogi to win the 2028 Tour.
@DrctTim Remco will still have a question mark beside his name on the start list for TdF 2027 until the mid-point. Also those predictions of 2-3min gaps over Pogi in ITT are not factoring climbing weight Remco
@NasuKanata I’m no expert but compared to other elite riders he just looks more efficient and smooth. Perhaps it’s a function of his added capacity where he’s got an additional 3% in that zone but it seems obvious!
@BohunickaNikola The triple podium at the Vuelta would be highly unlikely. If Tadej is at full strength they just need to win the Giro to have an 8/10 odds to pull off the GT triple
@X36gg@jonas_creteur I expect to see GC action in the tour and potential 60-90 second gaps among the top 3 before the first ITT. Don’t underestimate the first six stages there’s some potential there for fireworks though I agree big gaps less likely.
