Pile. On but we were too far ahead of the obvious to lose. Pog did make the Montmartre climbs viable. And as with every stage it was interesting [just not for first and second] </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21768#post-380401 Sun, 27 Jul 2025 20:38:29 +0000 SRD 380401@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>we thought one of the teams that had Pogacar (such as a certain Mr Hume) would triumph in the end. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21768#post-380400 Sun, 27 Jul 2025 20:31:44 +0000 gembo 380400@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ha,, or 206 points. </p> <p>I never take victory in VeloGames for granted until the final weird calculation. But thought I was safe this year as none of the top 3 had Pog and I had Wout winning the stage and the 2nd 3d and 4th place and Green.

They were really fundamental for myself, and I guess also for Sean too, in the pathway that they provided when we were youth and junior riders,” says Oscar.</p> <p>Sean agrees: “I think the support and organisation that they had was great. All of the initiatives they have in place and the effort they put into creating a development structure that really helps a lot too now in more guys coming through the ranks.”</p> <p>“I wouldn’t be surprised in a few years if it’s not just two but three, or four, or five Scottish riders up there. I’m obviously biased but I think we carry ourselves in a certain sort of way and the values that we have, such as hard work, grit and determination, that helps us to do well.”</p> <p>More Scots in the WorldTour, but also further afield too, wouldn’t surprise Oscar either: “I think in the next couple of years we’re going to see more and more riders, not just in road cycling but also on the track and mountain biking. I think we’re getting a bit of a snowball effect.” </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21768#post-380215 Sun, 06 Jul 2025 18:08:23 +0000 gembo 380215@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Highlights will be corking tonight if you can find them - I bet ITV4 7pm.
