Francois Du Rand Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Meanwhile, a powerful article about Willem. Remember, elite athletes are human first. Suprizingly, even WorldTour cyclists too. https://cyclingtips.com/2019/09/16-stitches-and-a-life-of-pain-willie-smit-is-cyclings-toughest-rider/ This article had me nearly in tears now. I knew a bit about his history, but never how bad it really was.
J Wakefield Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Peak 365 days a year? Look at his calendar in detail its actually really well planned. Races 1st part of season, takes off, recovers and races again. Most riders race all year. Another rider who has done this well is MvdP. Its one thing being dirty, its another when you race fresh.
Vetplant Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 I love this guy.I love this team. Hopefully we can see some good Roglic vs Pogocar vs Bernal battles in the not-too-distant future EDIT:First link removed as it was being difficult
emme Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 How different would the result have been if Froome had ridden??..
Vetplant Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 Roglic jumps to the Top UCI World Tour position after his La Vuelta victory.
Spinnekop Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 Hey Colonel. Congrats on your team and specifically Pogacar which gave us goosbumps climbing and attacking like he did on Saturday. Chapeau.
dsw Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 How different would the result have been if Froome had ridden??.. A fully fit Froome supported by the full Ineos A team would have won it fairly easily imo.

Yo-Yo Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 The last of the Big Three for this year. :-( Is it too early to start thinking of the Spring Classics?

T-Bob Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 Hang on, cycling fanThere's still the Classic of the Falling Leaves, heyThe 5th monument Yeah but that is a bit like a sympathy shag. It's kind of the same but it's not quite right and not as good as the real thing.
'Dale Posted September 21, 2019 Author Posted September 21, 2019 Yeah but that is a bit like a sympathy shag. It's kind of the same but it's not quite right and not as good as the real thing.What a response Can’t beat that. ????
