Kuss saying how great it was to start last and for the first time in a TT nobody passed him lol.... great sense of humour and humility!!!
That is my favorite line of the day. Great humor and down-to-earth mentality
Great guy, big fan.
Super Sepp! Gotta love his team dedication. Hopefully Primoz and Vin can deliver him to Madrid in Red.
Absolutely!
Love his sense of humour! He is always such a steady super domestique and to have the spotlight on him now is so much deserved. I hope he can hold on to the jersey for a couple days more, but with the races that are coming, it might be hard. I really would love to see him on top by the end though!
nice to see Kuss so relaxed. Remarkable person. So measured and centered.
I agree, I wonder who’s Sepps Guru😂
@majob2363 it's actually his father, his parents are awesome!!
3 grand tours in the same year is remarkable.
Hope he's barely had to do anything in between.
Most surprising riders today were Kuss and Soler....they really did a fantastic Job holding their GC positions! It will be War on the following mountain stages....can't wait!!
Soler performed well, as expected, but Kuss OVERPERFORMED
@@bene4577 you are right...I guess Kuss is in great shape and a real contender for the GC.....
@@pauljansen1137 my bet would be he ends up in third, behind Rogla and Ayuso
@@bene4577 Ayuso or perhaps Almeida.....
@@pauljansen1137 yeah one of the UAE guys, could even be Soler
7:31 "First time no one's passed me during a time trial!"👍
Loved that comment! Class act!
Imagine saying Vingegaard would be frustrated not to go as fast as Ganna on a TT 2 years ago. People would say you were mad.
He wasn't frustrated because of that. He was frustrated because he genuinely had a bad performance today
He will have to measure himself against the level of performance he displayed in the last week of the Tour.
@@matejstankovic9843 was he frustrated tho? has he ever performed in any race besides TDF or Dauphine? He's a one trick/peak pony and I think he knows that himself very well
😀...very true!!
@@bene4577 winning the TdF is one hell of a trick
Kuss is just the kind of rider that everyone loves. I would love seeing him on the top of the podium in Madrid, but I'm afraid he will be working hard next days for Roglic or Vinegaard
Ooooor... Could they be working for him, saying "thanks for the help in the Giro and the Tour, now it's your turn"?? Just to show the strength of JV.
Vingegaard having a bad TT today may solidify his place as EPIC domestique for Kuss/Roglic. That's what I'm hoping :)
@@minivandan6043I can't see how vingegaard can expect kuss to work for him now.
@@andrewcockburn7484 He doesn't. Jonas has confirmed that JV is treating Kuss as a serious GC contender. He even said that if he drops out of GC, he'll be more than happy to ride for Kuss all the way.
@@darkiee69i think they will try to win the vuelta with sepp but if remco attacks on a moutain and kuss is dropping, jonas and roglic wont wait for sepp. maybe jonas if he gets dropped on a stage before but im still refusing to believe that there is actually someone at this vuelta that can drop jonas so hard on a mountain that he's completely falling out of the competition for the overall win
How can you not love Sepp Kuss?? "First time nobody's passed me on a time trial"! Such modesty and honesty we don't see very often from professional athletes in any sport. Jumbo Visma needs to do the right thing here and ride for Sepp until he proves he can't defend the red jersey. Roglic has already won this race three times. And Sepp has been a big part of that as well as for Vingegaard's two TdF wins. It's time to support Sepp. What a story that would be!!
Irish time-trial specialist: Phillip O'Ganna
Filippo Ganna is an Italian
@@PazLeBon fake news
It was not the knockout blow Remco needed - on GC Jonas is only 1.09 minutes behind Remco and Rog 27 secs and Sepp ahead by a minute. Working together in the high mountain stages to come any one of the three TJV contenders could put Remco to the sword. Soler and Ayuso also on brilliant form.
Chapeau to Ganna for the win.
I cant wait ,,,,, jumbo in perfect position
This TT stage was not technical and not long enough for a big hit by Evenepoel
Remco not having as strong team support as some of the other teams, like Jumbo and UAE, leaves him a bit open to being isolated and attacked. He's riding super strong though...really impressive. Seeing all these amazing athletes giving it their all out on the hills in these beautiful countries is such a joy.
@@genghi5khan i live in spain. isit beautiful? its hot and barren andlots of Spanish people haha
UAE's performance was great for Remco. Got another 3 riders to mark Jumbo in the mountains.
So it was definitely his day more than Jumbo's, despite Kuss' amazing ride into the unknown.
GC Kuss vs GC Soler is the battle we've all be waiting for
YEAH-NAAAH
Finally, no more of them 2nd tier GC guys
Vingegaard showing the brilliance of Chris Froome's 2017.
Amazing that he got the Giro in 2018 to hold all 3 at once. One of those achievements I don't think can or will be repeated.
Froome didn't have to fight a rider like Pogacar. Vingegaard can win the Tour-Vuelta double, but he will have to go to the TDF undercooked. This isn't an option against Pogacar.
Vingegaard showed the brilliance of vingegaard by winning 2 stages and finishing 2nd 17 sec behind his teammate whitch he gifted the win
Got to love the "First time I've never been passed in a time trial" comment from Kuss.
Kuss is defintely the surprise of the day. I thought he was going to lose his jersey but he was fantastic. If he stays relaxed he could win the Vuelta
"Top Ganna" - noticed it just now, brilliant😅
He's had that nickname for years
Ganna is just incredible and Remco only being 16 seconds back is insane. Congrats to Kuss on a great performance. He’s got a shot to win it all.
Did you miss the worlds?
Crazy how close Ganna was to 2 stage wins.
@@eleycki I saw worlds, that parcour suited RC for sure.
@@chrispyy606060606this 1 suited FG. They're the best at different aspects of TT. The flats are slightly ganna. The hills it's RE
I'm a Remco fan, but Kuss is a real boss..., great guy to have in your team!
I believe Remco is probably the strongest rider in the Vuelta on his own. But you can’t win a big tour on your own.
Win Tdf and Vuelta seems very very hard. You dont have enough time to recover.... But lets see in the third week. We all know endurance is jonas' biggest strenghts
Honestly, it's NBD in terms of Jonas. He had almost no dedicated training between TDF and the Vuelta and I really think Jumbo wants to send Roglic up for the win. Sepp was the happy surprise of the day! Great to watch him ride so well and his interview was pretty funny. I do think he's probably ready to hand off that red jersey lol. He's not usually a fan of this much pressure. I also enjoyed seeing a great show from Soler - I'm so happy to have him in the spotlight after being solely in the service of Tadej - and also Ayuso. SUPER happy to see the win for Ganna, I was all-in for him. This was an ITT for the books and it's so nice to see a grand tour that isn't just about two riders duking it out while the rest of the peloton plays second fiddle. I'm excited to see the rest of this tour plays out!
loving this Vuelta... and Kuss ?.. no words !
So glad for Kuss, he definitely deserves a bit of attention after all the hard work all these years
I think I speak for everybody that we would like to see Kuss hold on to that red jersey. Deserves it!
Superb commentary, insight and editing. Top class, well done boys! I think most folk are rooting for Kuss, surely one of tte most talented riders of this generation.
great video loved watching all 8 minutes already
How cool would it be to see Kuss win the Vuelta. I'm not surprised he held the jersey in the TT, all those k's consistently bossing the front have made him super strong. I love it when a super domestique get's a chance to race for the win!
dont forget that jonas vingegaard has said that he is not as good as he was in tour de france
Obviously not.
Jonas will destroy them third week of the tour
Sepptember!!!!
lets start the disKUSSion about Sepp winning the whole thing
Kuss looking like he’s on an endurance bike with that position.
But we’re all believers in GC Kuss. Cheering for him in this race.
Lanterne Rouge, your videos are epic. The careful analysis, the little jokes. Have been very entertained for years. Keep it up.
Kuss is a very likeable rider, but I genuinely don’t understand how people think he could podium over Vingegaard. If it’s Tour fatigue taking its toll on Vingegaard, shouldn’t Kuss be even more fatigued having ridden both the Giro and the Tour already? He hasn’t really looked significantly stronger than Roglic or Vingegaard in the mountains, so far.
Kuss didn't ride for GC in the Giro or the Tour so he only works half the days. He doesn't have to be stronger than Roglic or Jonas, he has to outlast Remco. And if Remco is going to sit on the front and go a steady pace, he won't drop Sepp unless Sepp attacks to his teammates' advantage and his teams overall chance of winning (with Roglic or Jonas).
@@prfit The thing is though, minutes can be gained or lost in the mountain stages. Kuss himself said that in his interview. As a world class climber, he speaks from experience. If he’s not on the same level as his fellow GC contenders, his comfortable lead can be easily lost in any of the remaining 4 mountain stages. Keeping that lead isn’t as easy as it sounds.
And I’m not saying he has no chance of winning, I just think he has less odds than Roglic or Vingegaard due to fatigue carried over.
Think people forget he has that lead for the same reason Soler and Landa were up there. Being allowed in the break because nobody feared them winning.
He's only going to be losing time from here.
We're finding out so much more about Sepp Kuss' abilities.
And the fun thing is, it feels like Sepp Kuss is finding out more about his abilities.
Those Quickstep and UAE front wheels are deeeep :o
I just want to see João Almeida in ITT on that specialized setup again
Cut Vingego' some slack here mate, Didn't have that solid build-up like Roglic or Remco. The man was too busy celebrating his victory in Le Tour as that was his A-race this year. Actually makes him a more dangerous fella to attack early on in Friday's stage too.
Comes to show you that no matter the name, preparation is key. cheers xx
Remco targeted the world's time trial and prep for that is not ideal for what is needed for the Vuelta. I would say that Roglic is the best prepared, followed by Remco and then least prepared is Vingegaard. It's actually amazing the level Vingegaard can still reach given that he barely trained after TdF and is well past his peak.
This is gearing up to be a very interesting Vuelta. Hopefully nobody crashes out and we can have all the GC favorites duke it out in the mountains.
Why? Vingegaard riding with 80 km/h on the flat for 2 - 3 km in TDF ITT 😂, Gana and Evenepoel are lucky he didn't mopped the floor with them! What a farce 😂
The shifting back on the TT bike has always been a sign, even contador would do bad tt's when he was constantly shifting back, and good tt's when he was not, vingegard was constatly shifting back today, and on the dauphinee tt, barely did it on the tour tt, when i seem them shifting back, i'm already expecting a bad performance
But why do they do it, and why is it a sign of a bad performance?
Thanks
@@endokrin7897 when the legs are not pushing enough power, the cyclist ends up pulling too much with Thu upper body against the handlebars, pulling the body forward, the constantly having to push the butt back on the seat
Vingegaard season is so long already and he is still doing such a great job
it really isnt though, he basically only rides the tour mate
@@baumann9551what? O Gran Camiño, Dauphiné Liberée, Basque Country, Paris - Niza
@@npa5825a mere month and a half of elite racing, stretched over how many more moths?
Is it?
Or is it just the length Pogacar's seasons usually are by the time he gets to the Tour de France, against a fresher Vingegaard?
well@@luckyspurs fresher... not sure what you mean... Pogacar had to stop months due to injury. So it's not as if he was not fresh. Probably the opposite, he needed more training to reach his peak during the Tour.
Kuss having more than 1 min advantage over Evenepoel is crucial because it will compel Remco to attack him, and the other Jumbo sharks are ready to take advantage of the situation...
That's exactly what he's not going to do, he knows Kuss is not the leader for Jumbo. They tried the same a few days ago and Remco didn't follow Kuss
@@gabrielmazza7923So he will just let Kuss win the Vuelta?
@@JanezMLGucek will Roglic and Vingo let Kuss win the Vuelta? That's how you call a bluff 😉
Evanepoel has way too much smarts to do that.
He'll let Jumbo and UAE fight it out and pick which wheels he needs to follow.
@@JanezMLGucek You're assuming Kuss will have the legs to attack at the end of his 3rd three week grand tour of the year.
Theres several more uphill finishes to go. There’s a small possibility of this: jumbo finishes 1,2,3 on those stages, and in a bunch grp.
JV has 21 stages in his legs from the TDF while RE was watching on the couch.
So did Roglic and Ayuso. Your point is???
And where was Sepp? Everywhere.
Too many stupid excuses for Vingegaard.
Not many commentators spot those micro adjustments in the riders position.
7:35 🤣🤣🤣 He is so real!!! Love him!!! Respect to P. Ganno! 👏
Good job Ganna! Salvaging something for Ineos and beating the world champ, Evenepoel!
Remco would have won but he didn’t know it was a Time Trial.
Hahahaha!
He'll lose a mountain stage because he thought there'd be a bunch sprint after a fast run-in to the finish.
Jk, jk! Just a little harmless fun because Remco didn't seem to know he was racing for the stage win the other day.
True, Big Mouth is always full of excuses.
Vingegaard will at best reach the podium in this years Vuelta, and that will be a huge accomplishment. It’s physiologically not possible to recover so fast for another GT shortly after winning TDF. Especially given the fact that he has been relaxing and slowly training again, this time not in heights but home in flat Denmark. Hence, hematocrite values at start of TDF vs Vuelta would be quite different, and in addition, the decline in hematocrite during a 3 weeks GT (TDF) will leave him at a lower level than at the start.
Wouldn't underestimate him. Until now, there weren't that hard stages for him. For sure I think, he hoped for a better time today but the mountains are his real "thing". We will see.
@@robertzimmermann9710 Yes, you’re right. But I’m afraid, as a Dane, that he doesn’t have it to go deep there either, but let’s see. In danish interviews he also seems very relaxed and happy that either Kuss or Roglic will take the first spot. I think the JV masterplan was to bring him to put pressure on Evenepol for Roglic to exploit, the extra cream on the cake is that Kuss is a surprising and very likeable challenger, which makes it even better for their plans to get Roglic the win..
he won't reach the podium imo, he's the decoy to help Roglic, never was anything more in this race, Kuss has better chances to finish on the podium than Jonas
Jonas doping program is schleduled for TDF so of course you are probably right...Pogi is probably the best cyclist of all time and Vinge smoked him like a barbecaue on Tdf...soo unrealistic...to me Jonas is new Lance...
@@ks-li4iccope
Would love to see vingegaard become SD for jumbo and help GC kuss keep red
Kuss needs to stay ahead of Remco (and the rest.) As long as he can do that, why would Jonas waste his powder? But Jumbo can't let Remco run away. If Kuss cracks, I doubt he expects the two presumed captains will risk the race to stay with him. When you show up with the squad Jumbo brought this year, you obviously expect to win.
Feel they'll both be working for Roglic.
No matter what Roglic says.
It's looking more and more like Roglic is the #1 guy for Jumbo Visma in this Vuelta, but it's still a long way to go and anything can happen.
next few montain stages are more like jonas than primoz...but that is only good, if they fight between them and let Almeida go for the GT GC win
Too early to say, we haven't even seen any proper mountain stages yet
@@bernardo9202 Jonas is trash as always outside TDF
@@bene4577 trash😂. Won almost every stage race this year. Only paris nice he went third
@@bene4577 Hahaha this kid is so mad it is actually hilarious. You would think Vingegaard shagged his mom 😂😂
Wow, I don't think I've ever heard Kuss talk. Such an American :D
I feel that people are too critical of Vingegaard’s time loss on a flat ITT. It’s clearly not his forte unlike the hilly ITT in the Tour.
He doesn’t look as good as he was in the tour, but I wouldn’t count his chances off for the GC just yet. If he doesn’t perform on Tourmalet, maybe by then it’s over for him.
There is a reason why almost nobody wins the Tour de France and the Vuelta in the same season. You would have to go undercooked into the Tour de France, which isn't an option for Vingegaard against a rider like Pogacar. This is entirely normal; you can't withold a physical peak like that for months. The people you see criticizing Vingegaard are either people with absolutely no knowledge of cycling or endurance sports in general, or it is butt hurt fans of riders Vingegaard beat. Pogacar-fans, most likely.
He said himself that he's not sure how he's gonna perform in Vuelta, too. I think he's exploring his own ability here.
It's not Joao Almeida's forte either though.
The mountains are coming....
Every time Pipo gives an interview in English, I strain hard to make sense of his words :)
I think he's in the same boat not understanding the interviewer. I love when they interview in their native language and the commentators translate.
Hey Lanterne - in regards to Ayusos tt style / position - it reminds one a bit of Contadors style, if you watched him ride, he would also slide back on the regular.
Looks like Ayuso is sliding forward as his cockpit is too far forward/saddle is positioned too far back (under UCI regulation there is a limit how far forward it can be) and he pushes himself back from the tip, to get some support. Many riders could have a much better position if UCI regulations allowed - and if they weren't limited to the components coming from their sponsors... :D I am just speculating though.
van der poel does it as well all the time when in TT
56 km/h average speed by Ganna. I personally find this insane, this is nearly twice as much as my personal average speed
Hell, on a flat road without a tailwind I have a hard time even reaching 56 km/h. And he does that on average. Fucking insane.
GC Kuss!
GC KUSS LETS GOOOO (wtf is a kilometer tho?)
Didn’t know I needed the slo mo buttcheek shuffle for Ayuso
He was getting DOWN!
Gana looke beautiful in the silhouette pure man x
Roglic did good.
I have no idea why Jonas not being able to be at his peak throughout the year is supposed to be evidence that he is doping. If anything it would be far more damning if he came out from this and just dominated all the other riders who hadn't been part of the Tour.
I will say this 100 times, the playing field is level, either all are doping or none are.
I would go with all, but that comes from decades of watching them all do it, repeatedly, and while some get crucified for it others get a free pass and even continue to race and/or lead teams or work somewhere else in the industry.
We all know whoever accuse him for doping are Pogacar fans, so don't worry about it.
what about armstrong times? why was he winning so much when everyone was doped? was he still that much better than everyone?
@@kingjaskoYes. Armstrong is the best TdF rider to have lived.
@@kingjasko He wasn't winning that much. Pretty much only showed up for the Tour. He also wasn't winning by "That Much." Cycling is a mature sport. Greatly contested. He was just a bit better, at The Tour, consistently, for a period.
Just as is the case with training, and nutrition, and rest and recovery, doping is also something some are better at than others. That everyone had access to the same drugs, and everyone did them, does not mean they all had equally good programs built around their availability. Lance's setup; including everything from natural talent, perhaps even talent for absorbing and benefitting from EPO, to training/rest/recovery _In_The_Presence_of_Doping_ (which differs from training Without Doping), was, in total, a bit ahead. He was obviously an outlier, like all multiple TdF winners, but not something completely removed from what has come before and after.
If you want to see doping vs not, look at Bodybuilders pre vs post anabolics......
Whatever riders may be using now, does not appear to give nearly the insurmountable edge free-for-all EPO use did. Endurance athletes have just recently started reliably creeping past records set in the 90s. In cycling, mainly due to electronic gears, better aero and much more precise measurement and training on account of improvements in stationary trainers. I'm sure they still pop whatever they think they can get away with, but I'm not sure anything currently not tested for, is all that significant. Jonas, being the world's most talented big-mountain climber but from a country where the longest climb is a freeway overpass; almost certainly has benefitted more from the shift to trainers and general obsession with watts and power curves, than any "supplement" he may be taking. He has eaten a lot of fish over the years, I suppose. Which is healthy. But then again, Lance was from Texas, where frisbee sized steaks are what's on the menu.....
No one has ever stuck to their saddle like Tony Martin
I'm a believer! Team Kuss!
I think Kuss was wearing the aero insert in his jersey like Jonas was in the tdf TT
I wonder what happens if Jumbo gets put in the situation where Roglic has a wobble (like stage 16 or 17 of the Giro this year), what do they do with Kuss? They probably would send Jonas to help first, but it doesn't look like Jonas is improving during this GT (which makes sense considering he had very little preparation)
Did you forget the stage 20 of Giro d'Italia?
I think Jonas makes a fantastic domestique.
I know he has 2 Tour wins, obviously, so he's 'overqualified' as a domestique.
But if he is honest with himself, and feels he doesn't have a real chance to win, he would seemingly be content with one of his teammates winning La Vuelta, and I get the feeling he'd ride to fully support his teammate(s).
He would be one of the very best assistants you could ever have in the mountains. Reminds me of Adam Yates of UAE in the 2023 Tour, being amazing help for Tadej.
I am warming up to Jonas. If he ends up riding to support Roglic or Kuss, he'll have huge respect because of it!
The mountains will tell the tale
Stage 13
GC Kuss!! Making America proud!
Best cycling recaps in cycling. Lantern Rouge rocks.
Remcoglasses - It's Grande Pippo!
TT are so good to show the actual form
In a CC! Ganna got hes payback for WM
INEOS at least a stage VC Gongraths.
Think Remco has piked to WM. And
Now it is going downwards. Must be
Kuss best ever TT! Jumbo Visma with
A big advantage now. We have to wait
For the tourmalet stage, before Vinge-
Gaard is not a contender for overall
VC anymore, it is his first try! Jonas
Will learn a lot from this Vuelta👍
Thankey for upload the best there is
😜🔝❤️ only missed some rap 🤣
The time trial at TdF looks like it is screaming a message about 2 riders. Come on. Call it what is!!
Love the analysis and takes, but please don't spoil in the title.
One wonders: Jonas pulls off a totally amazing, dominant ITT in the TDF, and then gets totally dropped in the Vuelta ITT. Analysis? Relatively flat course for the Vuelta's ITT (hillier favors Jonas)? Other possibilities about which we keep our lips zipped? One thing this shows for sure, as far as I'm concerned anyway, is that one ITT in the TDF or other grand tour doesn't prove much.
Or maybe riding the Vuelta a month after the Tour de France is not an easy task. How many riders won the TDF-Vuelta double the last 30 years?
Jonas showing he’s only human 🤷♂️ but him finding his TDF legs once or twice in mountains 🏔️ could be fun 😊
After gulping down that bottle of champagne🍾 Kuss was still well loaded with carbs for today!
Jonas is unpredictable...unlike those pretenders ......remember that....
Why that wound next to his left eye doesn't want to heal? Is that from what he sustained at TdF or a new injury?
who would have thought that this Vuelta is even more exciting than this year's TdF...
I"ll go with : anyone who had a look at the startlist and has followed cycling for at least 2 years
Nobody, because it's not even close to be as exciting. It's still better than the Giro though.
I appreciate you
i always suspected kuss was a better TT rider than he's shown previously, cuz he always had to save his energy for the mountains, so riding a hard TT never made sense. but defending the leader's jersey meant he had to give his best and he's shown he's a better GC rider than most people thought.
So, apparently Vingegaard is not an android after all.
I know it's because Colnago's TT bikes are ludicrous enough on their own, but it looks like Soler is riding a 50cm frame with 30cm of spacers
Only Soler’s setup that looks really odd on UAE
7:03 Why does Vuelta show Martinez with the white Jersey? I think Remco is leading that classification
Remco is TT champion so he's gonna wear that jersey, hence white falling to 2nd best young rider (Martinez) -- but looking at youth GC Martinez was ahead of Remco at the end of stage 9
Pippo the legend
Roglic is the Olympic TT champion from just two year ago. It is a mark of what Remco has achieved in such a short space of time that we expect Roglic to ship time to TT specialist Evenapoel.
why are these soo short? too much effort to make it 20mins?
Flat TT not Jonas TT terrain
Couldn’t help but notice that kuss’ cadance seemed very low (is he getting tired?🤔)
What was Vlasov wearing around his neck?
Not important stage. Important stages are coming. Jonas's playground.
GC KUSS IS REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even though I think Roglic is still the leader for Jumbo, I would love to see Sepp win. America (My country) hasn't one a grand tour since the late 80's or early 90's with Lemond. (No a certain Texan taking no-no substances doesn't count.)
Edit: Forgot about Chris Horner :)
Chris Horner
Is Chris Horner a Texan?
Bravo Kuss! Love this channel!
GC KUSS
Even Evan Evanapol could win.
GC KUSS HIPE TRAIN
Thank goodness it wasn't raining with all those white marks on the road.
Your commentary is unmatched.
Stage 13: Evenepoel Smoked by Vingegaard
Why do you feel the need to spoil the result in the title of the video
If I am Jumbo Visma DS, II will have Vingegarrd and Primoz sit on Evenepoel wheel like glue! Let Kuss go on a break or attack in the mountain if possible! Evenepoel and his team will have to do all the work otherwise! hey, a Kuss win is a win for the team!
Red jersey can't get into a break, it would be a waste of energy and position. Strategy should be the opposite. Sepp should not work, just follow Remco. Remco has to attack since he is behind. When he has a moment of weakness or the incline is right, Roglic should attack. Vingegaard isn't a factor unless his form recovers.
in my opinion it's kinda unfair that the early people had 1 min between them so they could catch up other riders easily while the others had 2 min.. i mean catching up 4 riders and staying behind them and in their slip stream for even only 2 sec is a huge advantage..
Remco would have smoked Ganna, but he has spent alot more energy then him since the start so :)
Put them both at the start fresh and remco smokes ganna 90% of the time all day any day
Slipstream is negligible in a Time Trial; you're not allowed to draft. Right?🤔
you can but can't stay behind for long, not sure how long prob 1-3 sec@@endokrin7897even 1 second is enough to gain 1-4 sec advantage believe it or not ;)
Go kuss
Now all Pogacar fans accusing Jonas for doping can finally rest their crooked minds. "He quits doping" they might say. But guess what? Pogacar quit doping and that's why he hasn't won TDF. (JK, I don't think anybody's doping, simply being sarcastic.)
