@BenjiNaesen A decent World Cup circuit area

What are your 3 dream races to spectate in-person? 🌍 Mine are... Tour of Japan, Tour of Guangxi, Tour de France Femmes.

@serdiezv @casulopodre @BenjiNaesen @PeterStuart3 Go and listen to the podcast. He says exactly this. The bike technology leap forward means that bikes are so out of date you can’t compete. Hence the statement, if you gave Pogi a 2018 bike, he wouldn’t be able to compete with the 2026 peloton.

@casulopodre @Doigeyboy @BenjiNaesen @PeterStuart3 That doesn't mean Pogačar wouldn't beat Thomas, they would all ride 2018 bikes. It's meant as "Pogačar can't beat the current peloton riding 2026 bikes if he was riding a 2018 bike"

Pogačar called the neutral service bike a 'wheelbarrow'. Love that. Via HLN: hln.be/parijs-roubaix…

@LucGrefte I agree. But less. And I also agree with what others have said. The motos were not the same effect as at other races

@Doigeyboy It still matters a lot. Pog was doing 50km/h on the sectors

Not saying motos didn't matter, but I rewatched this and really don't see it. First six kilometers Pogačar doesn’t even have a moto (unlike G1), and later Morgado and Politt don't even follow the TV moto because it's keeping a very good distance and thus not providing any draft

@dieworkwear Thank you Derek. I (probably amongst many) asked you this question. And I really appreciate the answer. And the insight behind it is, as always, fascinating.

There is no "best" chino, just as there's no "best" coffee. When choosing coffee, it's helpful to identify which notes you like. Almond? Caramel? Spiced Cider? Light or dark roast? Natural or washed process? Developing this understanding will help you build a better wardrobe.

Someone asked if I could tell them where to buy a pair of good chinos. In this thread, I will tell you, but my answer is not simple. On the upside, I think this is a better approach when shopping for clothes and you can apply it to any kind of item. 🧵

@casulopodre @BenjiNaesen @PeterStuart3 Not at all. The bike technology has progressed so so much that a 2020 bike is light years slower than a current one. And this showed. Pogi was being overtaken by mid riders on that bike

@Doigeyboy @BenjiNaesen @PeterStuart3 You're making a giant logical leap

@BenjiNaesen @PeterStuart3 Just proves what Geraint said, that there is no way Pogi could win the TDF on the bike which he won on

@PeterStuart3 Ironically, that bike's better than any bike I've ever ridden.

@DarwinAwards_ Guy literally cuts his dick off

@Roadman_Podcast Just shows how right @GeraintThomas86 is when he was saying that no one could win big races now on the bikes he won the Tour on… The technology leap forward has been ridiculous

I can’t remember ever seeing Pogi on the neutral service bike before. It just looks wrong

@wahrstoetter @BenjiNaesen Prim van der Roggeveen you mean…he’s already in the red bull cloning vats…

@Doigeyboy @BenjiNaesen Will we get a Drugi Roglic now?

So, the UCI results just changed P6 from Tim van Dijke to Mick van Dijke, because there was apparently some confusion about it. Have we ever considered the possibility that Tim and Mick van Dijke switch places without us knowing, on a near-daily basis? #ParisRoubaix

@faustocoppi60 If he didn’t stop on purpose he certainly made up for it after this by absolutely burying himself to get Pogi back

It looks like Antonio Morgado saw Pogacar at the side of the road, why didn't he stop to give him his bike? 😰 Not that big difference in size. UAE messed it up yesterday big time just like Alpecin did. #ParisRoubaix

@daniellloyd1 @WHOOP @GoZwift @bryan_johnson @KristenhCNN @JeremyPowers @Brady_H @foundmyfitness #Garmin would be calling her weak and shouting at her to do better…

Lorraine's @WHOOP metrics since she started doing twice weekly 45 minute @gozwift sessions. One zone 2, one Vo2 max. This is on top of brisk (dog) walks, park run every other week and one or two sessions in the gym each week. I'm incredibly proud of her. It's also an amazing case study of what you can achieve with consistency. She recently turned 53, always been healthy and clean living, so these improvements are on top of someone already in a very good place.

@AnnamacB And they did team up. Ganna crazy unlucky with the timing of his puncture

“So you see the gap was over 2 minutes, I’ve got it down to one. Wanna team up to close the last bit?”

@BenjiNaesen The UCI right now….

Team cars, like the UAE one right now, should not be allowed to pass a group on the cobble sectors. That's so dangerous. #ParisRoubaix

@BenjiNaesen The mark of what a good guy he is is how may of his competitors congratulated him.

Wout van Aert dedicating his victory to Michael Goolaerts who passed away at Paris-Roubaix 2018 made me cry and I'm not ashamed of it. 💛 Class rider, but also a class human, always has been. #ParisRoubaix

@McInnispicks “I want to use the position I am in to prepare for the biggest competition of my year, and be able to spend more time with my family”

I never really understood why some people didn't like Rory. Now I kind of see it.

@BenjiNaesen @laflammerouge16 I’m hoping some of his point is exaggerated in translation?

@laflammerouge16 my takes look like vanilla ice cream compared to this

Chris Horner: "First rule here when you started Tour of Flanders: 'Do not pull Tadej Pogacar around'. Your SD, should be fired. You guys should be sent back to amateur level racing as all of you guys do not know how to race your bike whatsoever" cyclinguptodate.com/cycling/you-gu…

@BenjiNaesen Pogi I mean

@BenjiNaesen I would love for him to win Roubaix because if he does I reckon he might retire

Tadej Pogačar is probably winning LBL & Il Lombardia, so he can win all 5 monuments this year if he brings home Paris-Roubaix. Who's the favourite for Paris-Roubaix?
