lechatnoir Posted August 29, 2022 Share man, if anyone deserved a stage win, it was Louis and what a stage to take Scary Rider, Vetplant and Underachiever 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetplant Posted August 30, 2022 Share Decision time for Louis: Option A: Pursue another GC top 10. Unlikely that the other teams will allow him to go up the road again, so it will most likely require him chipping away at those riders ahead of him. or Option B: Forego the GC asperations, lose time intentionally, to allow him to go up the road again in future for another stage win. I'll be happy with either one of these. IWG just needs to make the call which option they prefer. Edited August 30, 2022 by Vetplant Current GC standings attached for reference.

The 2018 Giro collapse of Yates serves as a warning, things can go south VERY quickly. Roglic has the ability to pounce in the final week. Either way, good racing ahead, methinks.

I do not want to jinx Remco but I am already licking my lips for a battle in the 2023 TdF between him, Pogacar and Vingegaard. Patrick Lefevere must just play along and recruit one or 2 climbers to support Remco. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSQ means he was hoofed for doping. that doesn't happen anymore though Also, interesting to note that if you count up his stage wins, Merckx has the same number as Mark Cavendish. Who knew that little factoid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoG Posted August 30, 2022 Share There is no doubting Merckx's caliber. If Remco can achieve that, I'm not so sure. PS: Besides his issues & "arrogance", I liked Mr Cav, but his probably not going to feature again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
