    Is Pogacer even human? after winning Giro, Tour AND Worlds in same season although he did lose the other day.
    I watched a race from Belgium on Tuesday? I think it was a classic but it ended in mayhem, never seen so many crashes in a race, sore to watch so many people in pain on the road.

    Although you've got to love the excitement of a sprint finish for me it's the likes of Pogacer going up a mountain with other cycling professionals and then being able to accelerate away from them, UP A MOUNTAIN, just amazing athletes with stunning endurance, there's no sports even close to a Grand Tour, 3 weeks of riding nearly every day for 100-200 Kms, breathtaking.

    Aye, it was Brugge - De Panne that had all the crashes. I seen Jonathan Milan headbutted a guy towards the end of the race as well :56:

    Did you watch Milan - San Remo? Pogi, van der Poel and Ganna absolute beasts. Pogi attacked over and over again on the Cipressa and Poggio but no luck. Pogi is going to Roubaix now as well but I think its too flat for him to win.

    Didn't know about the headbutting so I'll have to have a look for it. Aye I seen the Milan-San Remo from when they broke away, I was surprised Pogacer couldn't drop Van Der Poel but it's still early in his season and don't expect Pogacer to peak until the actual Tour, Vingegaard seems back although he injured his wrist recently, he was rushed back too soon for last years Tour, also have you seen the 19 year old Visma brought in for Vingegaards absence M. Brennan? he not only won the first stage of Volta Catalunya but won todays stage going away from the field as well, at 19, old enough = good enough.
