The Pro Road Cycling Thread

Interesting times in the fight against doping in sports, what with recent headline news on Pogba and Halep.

Anyway, on an unrelated note, found this an interesting read on this year’s leading GT rider and his performances across the 2023 season.
Those charts showing so many climbs at over 7.4 watts/kg are incredible.
IIRC even Armstrong said he was producing 7.0 though I may be mistaken on that.

Vingegaard Delivers another Historical Performance | Vuelta a Espana 2023 Stage 16 - Lanterne Rouge

Jonas Vingegaard is continuing to impress in the 2023 season. The Dane attacked early on the final climb in La Vuelta Stage 16 and beat his GC rivals on the short Bejes climb by more than a minute thanks in part to a disorganised chase behind him and his high pace.

Even eurosport seem to be saying theres problems within the team.

Everyone seems to be assuming what the riders are thinking. Its getting abit like football press/media.

Well buddy, you say that, but Primoz announced last week that he was offski, ahem, so there are some changes afoot.

Big questions now are a) where will he go to, and b) where will Remco go?
Making for the most intriguing cycling transfer season/merry go round I can remember in ages.

On the actual bike, just one race left, the race of the falling leaves on Saturday in Lombardy, the last Monument of the season. A seven hour viewing marathon; cannot wait :-)
 
Pogacar you beauty.
You can stick your pasty faced skeletal grand tour winner, this fella really is the greatest rider out there.
Those scenes on the last climb in Bergamo were truly fabulous.
A sheer pleasure to watch that today.
