Interesting thing Pog said in an interview is that the reason he got gapped on the Loze was because he was struggling with the altitude, Planche being 1500m lower seems like it also played to his strengths in that way.

Withnail posted:I read Pogi's time up the TT climb was like 2 seconds faster than the previous KOM. A great ride for sure, but not other worldly, he must be on good drugs type stuff. Bear in mind that the KOM times up any famous climb will a) be done fresh but also b) belong to people who absolutely do not have to worry about things like professional doping controls.

qirex posted:I'm just a casual fan and pretty much only watch the TdF but the way the NBC guys were reacting in the studio ["historic," "one of the all time great rides," etc.] after the time trial sounded pretty much exactly like how they sounded 10-15 years ago when Armstrong or Contador would just wreck everybody by 3 minutes on some HC climb. Super don't know enough about the sport to accuse anyone of anything I just had a flashback to the bad old days. *stares in Froome attack at the Giro*

I wish they would have put ads somewhere it's not going to appear on US sites (unless maybe you go digging) because there were like two US riders and they had no shot to do anything interesting

it definitely feels like a "here's a fun ~disruptive~ idea" type thing where they rushed it out and forgot that you normally produce test articles for this sort of thing for a reason

I mean it's not the 'next big thing' because it's always been a thing, not that it's not a thing. It's the same as how you can always get away with a shitload more in real cycling, or indeed any sport, below the elite level.

Anyone from the 90s who you ever heard of 100% doped, it's not even a scandal to find that out at this point.

Maybe, but in a team like that you're not carrying any deadweight for name value so they must think he can do some kind of job. Doesn't matter if he's cheap if he's toast and eating up a slot that could be filled by a rider that would actually do something for the team.

I think they mainly want it for the prestige of having the top names associated with them, it's definitely not the money compared to other sports.

I'm not going to get mad at them for not reading it but it does kind of gently caress up their argument if they don't read it. Like, you're not helping yourselves here lads.

Hawkline posted:I think TobinHatesYou already touched on the point that most policy changes under go more engagement efforts than this, I have a different gripe. Since they can tell how well it was engaged upon based on metrics from the email campaign, it seems extremely intentional to proceed without another follow-up through some other medium. The UCI either wanted it to be completed without much opposition, or they are lazy and incompetent to the point they should not be a governing body of anything outside a local BMX race. Lmao they're not pulling some underhanded misdirection campaign to actively gently caress over riders, they're coming up with a safety initiative that a bunch of babies are complaining about because they think they're good at doing the thing that got banned, but weren't smart enough to notice the ban was about to happen when everything took place in plain sight.

TobinHatesYou posted:The computer bridge definitely extends past the drops and these bars are currently UCI legal. The below seems like the limiting factor: UCI Regs Article 1.3.022 posted:The traditional type of handlebars must be used in road races, cyclo-cross and track races So you can do pretty much what you like within that box so long as it's a one piece item and not an add-on, and it still seems 'traditional' in appearance. Although I think in reality that boils down to 'if the UCI decide it's non-traditional, get hosed' as everything has to be certified before you can race it anyway.
