The warning is right there when people say they are “the happiest days of your life”…

Seems Brian Smith agrees with me over the breakaway tactic.

Which is nice because I don’t often agree with him.

The weakness I’ve noticed is cornering on descents.

If someone could really push him and stay upright, they might force an error. But I hate the idea that you win by trying to force a crash.

It can be done in one setting by the world’s specialist at that setting 🤷‍♂️

As much as anything it is course design. If this were a sprint, Tadej wouldn’t win.

But as I say, you harm all the contenders at the same rate, and Tadej is so much stronger that he still remains last man standing 🤷‍♂️

Thanks.

I get the frustration, Mike.

If it were easy to solve, someone else would be winning.

MvdP is the only one who has beaten him in a one day recently, and he acknowledges it was in his own best setting.

Agree with Maggie - Toms Skujiņš to do well today.

Fifth would be funny. Podium would be fabulous.

You are ignoring the fundamental point. Pogačar is the only rider strong enough to survive.

The problem you are attacking is the reason that won’t work.

A stealth break and spoiling behind is probably the only way to win. And even that seems unlikely giving Tadej’s strength.

The only realistic move I think could win is a determined “under the radar” breakaway group who get away and turn something special on, perhaps with spoiling tactics behind.

There are a lot of riders here who could make that breakaway, but I doubt UAE would let them.

“You’ve got to be willing to lose if you are going to win.”

I do think he is far too strong for any deliverable tactic to beat him.

You can burn entire teams making the race hard for him, but in doing so you just destroy your favoured winner and sooner.

TNT Sports viewers in the #CouchPeloton 🚨

There is an ad-free feed of #IlLombardia 🍂 available, but you might have to hunt for it.

On the iPhone app it’s just “there”. On Apple TV and on iPad you have to search for the race name and two feeds come up. The one not called The Breakaway is ad free.

I’ve not seen that image 👍

Maybe it used the tradesman’s entrance?

Today was a day when it would’ve been lovely to come home to someone who said “how was your day?”

And I could say “do you really want to know?”

And they said “yes, of course. Sit down, drink this, tell me about it.”

Resilience is coping without that support.
