Cycling Dane, Lanterne Rouge, and Horner all give different perspectives to me and I feel they are of more value than the random hot takes from Discovery+ talking heads, McEwan and Kelly excepted.

DieselnDust Posted July 19 Share LR ‘a side kick got his head kicked in by JB the other day. Benjj laughed at Sean Kelly’s view of VLB tactics to Plateau de Beille. JB told him to get a palmares before critiquing SK. Horner provides some interesting insights but I feel like sometimes he just throws click bait on the table.

Horner's dissemination of team tactics throughout each stage is informative and sometimes intriguing, but he often goes off on a tangent with cyclebabble than I can't figure out. Still very entertaining to watch his daily highlight package 🤙 DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and Jonas tag team Pogi tomorrow, crush the TT and Visma gets 1-2 GCÂ Irvin85, Vetplant, peetwindhoek and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Pog is able to sit on Jonas' wheel it looks like VLAB are getting some nice screen time for their sponsors up front Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickGM Posted July 19 Share Controversial opinion but I wonder if Jonas would try to attack on one of the long descents and bridge across to Jorgenson. You just can't see him putting time into Pogacar on a climb and he's technically a very good descender. Unlikely but might be his only card left to play.

If memory serves, he lost time / ground on Pogacar on a descent earlier in the race? Or would the situation call for a more risky approach from him?
