Any cyclists here?

I never thought we would see an Eddy Merckx lilies dominance again, Even the drug aided Armstrong could not win one day races. I thought maybe Vanderpool could challenge him in the one-day races.
He is something special. Jordan-Esque.

Vanderpool

Its Van der Poel

...and if it's not Van der Poel it's Van Aert. These guys are awesome.

Van der Poel is actually living in Belgium as well .
I ve heard he has plans to compete for belgium in the future ( to prevent being spit at in belgium lol , true )
I saw him training in Geraardsbergen / de muur couple of years ago.

He said he wasnt top today, , next week no hills for Tadej in Parijs - Roubaix, new chances for him and Wout

...man, it's a great time for racing. The talent is amazing and they've optimized diet, training, and bike-tech to the n-th degree. And greatly reduced "bad luck" impacts through ultra-preparation. If only I was...ha ha...no delusions there! These guys are special on a bike.

 

[Gregadd]

Its Van der Poel

Thank you.
No matter how you spell it, he is damn near unbeatable from 50km out. Try spelling Pogačar.
He had to attack from 100km in last year's world championship, and sill risk being caught.

Have you ever seen somebody doing a wheelie uphill?

 

[MarkusBarkus]

...Sagan was pretty good at it. And a million years ago, Libor Karas could do almost anything on a bike. I was at C'dale during his era, and he had amazing skills. Probably beat Tadej in a wheelie contest, either wheel. Hill climb? Maybe not.

Having watched Van der POEL destroy so many on those two hills, it was amazing to see him so easily destroyed.

It might be interesting to see how they hold up to Lachlan Morton, who has the unofficial fastest time on the Tour Divide and I think also the Colorado Trail. He did both of those with a mountain bike that weighed around 40 pounds! To do that on the Tour Divide he had to ride over 200 miles a day for almost 2 weeks, nonstop (no rest days).

i AM NOT SO SURE IT WOULD HAVE MATTERED ANYWAY. PARIS-ROBAIIX CLAIMS ANOTHER VICTIM.
CPNGRATULATIONS TO VANDE POEL. 3 TIME CHAMPIOM REMAINS THE WORLDS BEST ONE DAY RACER.

 

[MarkusBarkus]

...hard to say. It was impressive to hold-off Pogi for the remainder of the race, essentially matching pace, +/- a few seconds. A two-up sprint in the velodrome itself would have been awesome. VDP said he lost radio contact, so he was keeping up the pressure and hoping for the best.

And may I add: PFP winning the woman's version was amazing. Sick leading up to the race, she was in a support role...until she attacked. That woman is amazing, and my inappropriate crush on her continues...

It's been a while since I last laced up a new set of hoops, but I could not resist Abbey's new spoke wrench. Their tools as sooo good, and...they're green.
