You're being melodramatic...

it's not a mattia of life or davide...:blush:

I know, I'm prone to that. Some say I can't take an objective view because I'm Baised

Another brilliant ride - loving it!

Absolutely. Prob only MvdP can give him some opposition and that's on a ride like Roubaix
Once the road goes up the balance shifts. What do you all want, Pog not to turn up? Eventually his star will wane but until then I'll enjoy watching him. This is how it was when Eddie became legend. But we in the UK never saw it except for a few mins on TV or reading about it in a bike mag

I'm not sure it's comparable. Merckx won a lot of his (one-day) races because he could sprint well. I don't think I've ever seen anyone whose basic MO is to simply ride off the front from way out and hold that gap to the end. You got Merckx, Hinault and guys like that doing it now and then, but never in every single race.

Van der Poel on beating Pogačar at Milan-San Remo and Paris Roubaix this season

“That was on my terrain, and even then it was close. On his terrain I am no threat to him. It does give extra motivation to be ready again next spring. If you can follow Pogačar and beat him, you are close to victory.”

Can't wait 😁
