    1. Why do they NEVER mention EF Easypost? It’s like they are paid not to say the team name no matter who is in the breakaway. Oh wait, I guess if you have a great result he’ll say it.

    2. Pogi: no point doing a surge on a steep part or anything like that, just ride steady zone 4 and leave the fellas behind.

    3. 5 star stage?
      5. The beautiful route and the fans.
      4. George Steinhauser for his victory.
      3. Pogačar for his excellence.
      2. Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier for his combativeness
      1. Einer Rubio and Antonio Tiberi for their desire to improve.
      0. Rafael Majka if he were not gregarious and without Pogačar he could perfectly be the leader
      -1.  Martínez and Geraint, what a boring pair of cyclists.

    4. To all those who say that dope is in cycling more than ever… how come that no one (not even pogi) can come close to records set 30/40/50 years ago while they have lowers bikes, power meters…. meanwhile wada is in charge of doping and not uci itself, that dope is much easier to find and it is 99% accurate, and there are more on pogi's level… he just has to come later on. Proof me wrong. Waiting

    5. At tour, wva and vingegaard are coming.

      To win, pogacar will attack from day 1 for time, b f they get their race legs back, which won’t happen for 7-10 days. P needs approx 3 min on v, b c at stages 14 and 15, v will get approx 3 min on p

      V at tour is better than p at
      Climbing
      Climbing in heat
      Descending
      Tt

      If p crashes in tour on descent will v wait this year? And vice versa? It seems that each wd wait for the other, that’s their character. Good I say

      But that waiting takes an advantage away from v, the better descender. So it’s not really fair to neutralize a talent one has over the other.

      Fir tiur will be x close this year. V or p win by less than 45 sec. This tour cd be won or lost on a descent. But w waiting if crash, no not won there after all

      Is v the better descender now? After such a massive crash and such pain for many weeks? Fatherhood also slows down a descender. But usually it takes 2-4 big crashes for fear to settle in, v has had one such

      Tour will be great race. V injury makes things approx equal

      Ineos thrashed here at giro will have it even worse at tour, for here it’s only p they can’t compete w, at tour they can’t compete w wva nor mvp nor roglic nor Remco nor v nor of course w pogacar. Yet Ineos still has biggest budget in the sport, and i s getting knocked down, day after day. Let’s see if Bernal can come back….I think not but who knows, perhaps

    6. What a great ride by Steinhauser! Herzlichen Glückwunsch! Nice to see another german talent. A great commentator as well with a perfect pronounciation.

    7. this is one of the most boring Giros in history….that's what ya get when you get a super drugged up cyclist….boring competition. get the drugs out of cycling.

    8. Podgacar still can’t help himself . Someone please test him! Has anyone been busted since Lance ? Anyone of note ? Hmmm… cycling doesn’t want to know now do they ?

    9. Nothing against Pogacar, but this must be one of the most boring Giros since I can remember. What a terrible lineup. No competition whatsoever. I guess those who crashed out before didn't help.
