At 7 kms to go, one of the best finalès of Primož, especially as it followed after the long-range attack with the Colombian star. ???? Cycling News Feed What an amazing stage. One of the most exciting in ages. Can't believe that Roglic and Bernal were able to stay away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way i see it, is he had everything to lose - previous wonder-finishes have been where the rider had nothing to lose. Here Rog had everything to lose - He could have blown badly, Bernal could have gained minutes and Rog could even have been swallowed up by the Movistar-heavy chasing group, pretty much putting all his hopes on the Sunday TT. But Rog backed himself and pulled off a great win. Even if he'd stayed with Mas et al, he'd still be in rojo today, but no, that wasn't enough for him.

I would say Primoz should be conservative and pick his battles carefully. The actual top 10 is for sure going to transpire after today.

After yesterday, today is going to be brutal. history has shown that on back-to-back monster stages, day #1 strong ou's are the same strong ou's on day #2. it remains to be seen if Rog wants to make more of a statement. I sure hope he does. Then again, I can' see anyone beating him in the TT, so what does he need to do today? Perhaps Jumbo will set Kuss off into the distance?

Dirt Tracker Posted September 2, 2021 Share 14 minutes ago, TNT1 said: Does everyone just gloss over Thursday's stage? After yesterday, today is going to be brutal. May be this is Ineos master plan... 1 - get Bernal to telegraph his attack in the Press conference. 2 - Get Siv' to telegraph when that is going to happen with a lengthy conversion with bernal that seems to be broadcast to everyone and covered on tv. Then get him to ride like a beast before launching in text book 'how to attack 101' 3 - This ensures Roga' goes full Slovenian, sniffs a 'Froome' special and thinks of his range of 'No risk, No glory' t-shirts / swim wear 4 - Bernal pins himself to endure Roga likes what he sniffs and carries on pinning himself for the line once Bernal cracks wasting valuable energy 5 - Master plan comes together on Thursday for a blistering Yates-a-thon of hither to unseen epic ness, proving he's been hiding like a shark and fooling everyone as he smashes the seemingly impossible deficit, win the red and then unleash his secret TT powerup from an intense zwift regime that he's been honing each night in the bowels of the Ineos team bus. Genius from Dave B, cementing his promise to fans to race differently this year! TheoG and Mountain Bru 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
