@ChrisHornerCycling if I had a wish for this channel, it would be a series of educational videos, that explain the tactical foundations of team cycling. -What tactical options does a team have if they have more helpers than the rival rider in a group? -why does it help so much to have only 1 helper when going uphill? Draft doesn’t play a big role, is it psychological? How would a 2 vs 1 situation play out going up Alpe d‘huez? -how can a team fight a single rider from another team, who is free-riding. ……. It would elevate my viewing to the next level if I understood more of the fundamental tactics involved. Team Horner has already opened up a whole new world for me, and they are doing a fantastic job, pointing out WHAT happens, but missing a little bit of explanation of the implication /what-if for me as a relative newbie.

Of course you need a good and strong team to do so, but this year UAE and Ineos have better teams than Visma, but still have not seen anything like that from those two.

In 2022 Jumbo Visma destroyed Pog as a team. They had WvA up the road on the galabier as the appetizer and the Gradon for desert. Jonas and Primoz were attacking an isolated Pogacar over and over again. In the end Tadej decided to go up as fast as he could dropping everyone but Jonas. The. At the top WvA was having a Wee and a bike change. Saw them go past an took all the dropped guys back to Jonas and Tadej. You could see Tadej’s face like is it one of those days. Then Jumbo started pacing uphill. Jonas giving him the final blow. He cracked completely. Visma knows how to crack Pogacar. But it takes strategy and a valiant team effort. I doubt they have the quality available to do so this year.

He has a habit of pushing people out of his way. And he has been getting away with it. Tomorrow, there's no bluffing for Jonas. Either he has it or not. Roglic probably the weakest of the 4. So far he got dropped twice. I'm not sure if Roglic was just trying to be there and there about, and wait for the week 3? (since he has a history of fading on week 3). Tadej was so dominant in the Giro ITT, let's see if that's just because he was in a kiddy pool. Ayuso LOL.. I'm sure he'll go full gas, and Almeida won't let him have the fun of it.

If you are talking about losing to Cav. He was behind the missile and had no shot. Stage 6, he knew he was getting relegated. It was clear by his demeanor after the race. He was mad at himself, the winner, Wout, the race, and the world. He holed himself in the bus to calm down. He has a ton of pressure to show up and not be Jasper the disaster like he did last year. Nothing is going his way as he is getting out sprinted. He doesn't have the same aura around him of winning when he is losing.

@@dumbyfiddler2376 not today stage 6, yesterday, stage 5. VdP pulled off earlier than he usually does and Jasper didn’t seem to try…. Again, I’ve always seen him throw a bike at the line. It’s drilled into every sprinter. I am curious on Chris’s take on it , but thanks for your comment too
@dumbyfiddler23763 ай бұрын
@SweetLike no doubt. If you rewatch yesterday's last 1km of the stage, Cav was too far ahead. Jasper wasn't even on Cav's wheel close to the line, and Cav had time to start celebrating slightly before the line. It was a situation that throwing the bike might get you on Cav's wheel, but he was purely beat.

No, unfortunately for them, unless the crash (or mechanical) occurs in the final 3 to 5km (3 km since 2005, currently up to 5km being phased in, depending on the logistics of the stage finish) in which case they get the finishing times of the group they were riding in (they have to make to the finish for this to apply).

@@joebriggs8422, so when Philipsen cut off van Aert against the wall, Philipsen got relegated, at great cost, but van Aert is just plain out of luck? That seems weird because it would seem a team could use a sacrificial rider to do that against a would-be winner.

The TT seems short, but still requires some high thresholds on the hilly part and has a technical descent. Idk neither but I suspect Remco and Tadej will gain probably 20/30 seconds over Jonas. Roglic is really a question mark. Top three for me: Pogj, Remco and WVA.

Jasper the barrier disaster. Poor big guy. He was 7th but would have been higher...probably not podium but you could see his annoyance when he had to hold up.
@dumbyfiddler23763 ай бұрын
@goatbloat8233 He has a family. He was annoyed, but he is smart enough to plan on riding another stage than to be laying in the hospital. At the end of the day, it is clear the green Jersey for Wout isn't a priority for Visma or Wout this year. He hasn't been there on every intermediate and sprint finish like he was when he won it in the past. He is clearly marked as a super domestique for Jonas that can help him win the Tour. The team is going all in for the yellow jersey. They are gonna let Wout be up there to take a shot, but super smart to pull the plug when he was being pit into the barrier. He has nothing to lose being up there contesting a win. I forsee Wout getting a chance to win a stage or two later into the Tour. The big man was shut down last year. As a father of three myself, he probably was thinking about other things than winning a tour stage.

I have never heard such an excellent narrative on how a bike finish ended....and yet, you mention Bini all of four or five times during the narrative. Had you watched him as much as you watched the other riders jockeying for position in that last 250m, you would have saw how excellent he kept his line and fought off other riders, shoulder to shoulder, to position himself to have a chance to win this race. But you spoke about every tom, dick and harry EXCEPT Bini...until the end of the race....when 'suddenly' Bini was in third place. A feat that was remarkable if you took the time to WATCH what he was doing, and give more comment on.

Let me clarify my statement....I watched your whole video....I love your narrative....I had no issues with how you narrated it at all....until a certain critical point in the race, where I felt you dropped the ball.....It was at the most critical part, when the sprinters were jockeying for position for the final sprint. For example, from 17:00 to about 17:55, you point out ALL of the six contenders EXCEPT Bini. He is sitting on the wheel of Rolf, drafting off his wheel, in great position, and what do you do? You actually talk about every other contender except Bini in this exciting finish. At 17:58, you finally state that Bini is in the picture, but not quite even.....and your narrative returned to being even handed. That is the only issue I had with your narrative. I love the way you cover cycling. Keep up the great work. I only wanted to point out this glaring moment in your narrative.

Today's riders incorporating the slammed handlebars while in the peloton are spending way to much time looking down and their also glancing down at their computers . look at 70's ,80's 90's riders on film ,looking up and straight ahead every time there on camera .Stop blaming all these crashes on the "oh the riders are so much faster know" line. Roll out a strip of red shag carpet, let's say 3 meter's wide by 20 or 30 meter's long in front of islands or similar road furniture to let the rider's know it's heads up time.
