Yeah, that interview with Porte just now was really nice too. Mixture of extremely tired and extremely grateful.

Colnago/Campagnolo bike wins the tour, what is this, the 70s?

The worst thing about the doping spectre over this sport is that I can't watch a performance like that without wondering. Beyond the TT does Pogacar even have a supporting team this year? Good to see porte on the podium finally, the year before he returns to working for someone else lol

After soft pedalling all the way there Carapaz ended up not getting any KOM points, Pog beat him up the climb by 1m12

I might get proven wrong in two weeks but fundamentally I don't think this is really weirder than Classics Rider Geraint Thomas or Dogshit Young Rider Chris Froome out climbing everyone and then smashing everyone but Tom D in a TT, it's just more dramatic I mean at least he won the Tour de l'Avenir

iirc that was also at the start of the Tour rather than the tail end of one of the fastest Tours.

So you’re saying that Team Sky were doped to the gills? If that’s what you’re saying then I agree. Fully.

~6.9w/kg for 16:10 is almost 2009 Contador up the Verbier levels (~6.8 for 21min) when you consider this was after another 40 minutes worth of TT.

Wow, as a team Jumbo completely hosed that up. Biggest team cock-up I've ever witnessed in my lifetime, that's for sure. I thought Jumbo needed to use their strengths way more tactically and aggressively than what they showed us. Pogz was without any teammates around him for a majority of this race. Even if we grant that Pogz is absolutely doped up to the loving gills, the amount of riders Jumbo had up front day after day should have been able to attack up the road and put him under way more pressure. Maybe Pogz could have covered every single attack, but Jumbo simply didn't try. They were clearly happy with holding a roughly 45' to 60' gap because they were thinking, "oh there is no way there can be this much difference between Pogz and Rogz on that last ITT". Hell, even I thought that that amount of time was unassailable so what the gently caress am I even droning on about here? It just goes to show that anything can loving happen in an ITT at the end of a grand tour, and when you have a team as strong as Jumbo you can't take any lead for granted. Use your team's strength and put everyone else to the sword and claw out so much time that when the unexpected does happen, you have the buffer to withstand it. Also to Richie.

I wonder if he'll move. He's not with a team who can really provide the standard GC support roles, and nobody will ever let him in a breakaway ever again. They're rich though, and so many teams are folding... Tough choices.
