Great job on that last turn with the road being narrowed out of nowhere. Race organizers covering themselves in glory in 2023. They had better get their sht together fast.

@@ynotnilknarf39in those cases, they should use barriers to narrow the road before the corner, so that the race line is consistent. The worst approach is what they did, narrowing it mid corner, as that changes the race line drastically.

Love the Soler appreciation. YES. he's one of my favorites as well, he can really do everything. Incredibly consistent, can basically teleport to any part of the race at any point if he wants to. In some ways, he's like the Van Aert of UAE except that he doesn't get the same freedom to go for stages, and maybe couldn't pull it off as often as WVA. But in terms of strength, versatility, and going ALL-IN for his leader at 100% strength for the entirety of a GT? They're on the same level for me

@@ichobi Yes, you are right. I don't object to him using knucklehead as his catchphrase, but he does that BECAUSE he really loves to crap on everyone. But what he says about Marc Soler is different. He reserves a very special style of criticisms for Soler. My guess Soler said something about it really is not possible for anyone who never managed to get on a team to start in a Grand Tour until he was 33 years old to then go on to win one at age 41 without using drugs.

@@rossmurray6849 Subjectively speaking, Soler does in fact frequently made some dubious moves for himself and for the team. I would say much more so than some other riders. Sometime it cost them the wins. Not until recently that he became a bit more 'tamable' helping out the UAE leaders. Back at Movistar oh boy was he wild. Guy definitely has the potential but he appears to me a bit like Landa.
