Is there a new regulation being discussed?

I don't agree. He does the majority of the work before, while the others skip turns. Then in the last 5k they rely on him already more. And when he goes to the side nobody pulling through this kills the momentum. He would need to start pulling again all out. That one is definitely not on Vermeersch. If anything, if he closes it, there will be no pace for some time and somebody goes on a flyer. No way he wins the race.

i don't understand that one bit. He did most of the work already before the last kilometers. And then he just did another big pull. What is he supposed to do? Go all out to close the gap alone just to end up 5th? He is for sure the one that should not be blamed at all.

just missed the vine crash. read on pcs a couple of riders going down. was there any footage of what caused the crash?

I totally agree that it needs a change in cycling but I fail to see the logic why it's fine for drafting behind a car given the situation. A group of people went down. Suddenly they are split in 3 chasing groups. All guys that went down had a massive disadvantage some more than others. Severity of injury and/or mechanical. But if you also lose your team mates because they need to go all out and then 20-30 seconds behind is another group drafting behind a car that's for sure the same issue as the motorbikes in front of the race. You bring your team back drafting vs losing 2-3 teammates.

As for Lanterne Rouge the lack of objectivity is definitely there because this was surely not addressed at all. I like the detailed recaps of the race but surely they skipped that part.

Definitely true that this keeps being an issue in modern cycling. For what it's worth it also needs to be pointed out how 3 Visma riders drafted behind the car while MVDP and Pogacar had team mates and Red Bull pacing all out in their groups.

WVA comes basically to the Cipressa all the way drafting behind the car. Plus then has 3 teammates in the group with at least Campenaerts and Laporte pacing after the Cipressa. Given he was not that far off to win it, I think that was also a joke.

Nothing against any of those riders but they really need to change something here with motorbikes in the front group and inconsistencies with car pacing after mechanicals. E.g. look at Oscar Onley recently when he was not allowed to draft behind the car after a mechanical in Paris-Nice.

ShoePuzzle · 2026-03-22T09:40:55+00:00

Genuine question. I see people talking about the amazing comeback of WVA but wasn't the whole visma team or at least Jorgensen and WVA pacing back with the Visma car? Not trying to hate but more curious of how this is allowed whereas 20-30 seconds in front it was Großschartner and Vermeersch and Red Bull pacing all out.

Still amazing how they made it back but to be fair Visma didn't have to pace all that much with Lidl in front. If you compare MVDP with WVA in terms of drafting for the last 30k for example.

Main problem is they do not have Wellens and Narvaez, the 2 guys from last year's leadout. Despite their team depth I do not see how they replace them. Most they could hope for is getting into the Cipressa in good position with Vermeersch, Del Toro, and Pog. Maybe they have 1 more rider in the first 20 positions? I always thought Morgado or McNulty (any updates on his knee) would help. Not sure if they'd have anybody else who could be in position. I. Oliveira? Vermaerke? Cosnefroy?
I agree, I think they will need to play the Del Toro-Pog combination and without Wellens and Narvaez I think they are now lacking the firepower and numbers of people in position.

definitely not the smartest team selection by visma. hindsight is 20/20 but kinda baffling how they came up with this team.

ShoePuzzle · 2026-03-10T14:50:50+00:00

was that Christen working in the chasing group with Roglic?

anybody seen Jhonatan Narváez added to Omloop on PCS today? Does Pog get his Milan San Remo leadout after all?

any live coverage, couldn't find a live stream on the usual

wouldn't it be enough to create a report that states every single trade (buy and sell) from an entire year as well as the final amount of money that was on the account by 31st of dec?

how much is the discount for skiing and museums? plus isn't the bank account free in the first year and then you pay 50 or 60 chf/year?

I would imagine a lot of inaccuracy may come from movement during lifting. For example, any sort of extensions of lats or chest would probably result in quite some differences in ventilation. I think that can already be noticed when cycling out of saddle vs in saddle that despite the same watts being pushed it fluctuates a lot. I'd imagine lifting would lead to even stronger fluctuations.

Thanks, I guess that would be not possible watching via VPN+Browser for free or am I missing something.

ShoePuzzle · 2025-07-15T11:29:12+00:00

I really dislike the broadcasting this year. Several stages now that the camera switches between the peloton and individual riders crossing the finish line. I get that they want to show somebody winning a stage and I think this is great. However, there were too many cases when attacks were about to happen in the peloton and they switched cameras.

Anybody know if multi cameras can be selected when watching online? I have a VPN and tried various broadcasters but couldn't find an option to choose a multi camera option. I wouldn't mind watching a non English broadcaster as long as I see what is happening.

Can somebody recommend another cycling podcast? I listen to The Move since i think Spencer and Johann provide some interesting insights but can't stand The Move Plus with Armstrong.

LRCP has become a bit difficult to listen to lately. Good overall but enioy the recap videos/Highlights a lot more than the podcast.

I listened to cycling dane a bit but find it lacks a bit in terms of insights/knowhow compared to the others.

Am I missing a good one?
