'Dale Posted April 11, 2023 Share Still looking good, clear and with a soft focus in the pre-race routine in the pic below. After the Classics superstar that was Fabian Cancellara, this Liquigas-Cannondale racer appeared out of the mist originating from Slovakia. It was the beginning of the modern super star racer profile that borne the next generation of absolute versatility, winning races in Grand Tours to semi-classics to Monuments to rainbow jerseys. Now we see with regularity the versatile champions in Tadej, Wout, Mathieu and even Marianne and Annemiek in the Women's World Tour. Will miss The Entertainer - he provided such absolute magnificent performances from the Spring classics to the then Tour of California, a million stage victories at the Tour de Suisse, the triple World Championship feat and, of course his performances in the race for the maillot vert at the Tour de France. Take a bow, Peter Sagan. See you at the Tour de France for one of your final appearances before you head out to join the mountainbiking challenge for Paris 2024?

Functional overreaching? 😶 I believe he said afterwards this is in prep for IM, just because the level of the competitors out there is so high. It's clear what his goal is. So, this shows us it can all be done, it just depends how eager you are to achieve your goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted April 16, 2023 Share “Mathieu van der Poel told me I should go on the Keutenberg and it is the hardest climb and it suits me the most. He told me that three days ago, he sent me a message. I will thank him for the advice." Tadej Pogačar, 2023 Amstel Gold Race Men Elite winner *** What a ride by Ben Healy too after his earlier peak form at the Mallorca Challenge. Pidcock, always consistent. Slowly getting his levels back up after his recovery from concussion. Edited April 16, 2023 by 'Dale Bub Marley and DieselnDust 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
