- Christian Prudhomme trying to hype the Frenchman. Can Seixas really keep up with Pogacar's accelerations?? I don't think so. Not this year as Pogi is on a different level. It is hard to overcome even a few seconds gap to the finish as Seixas would be all alone chasing.PogiFan2Day13-04-2026

- I thought it was pretty cool that Pogačar continued to help Van Aert after Carrefour de L'Arbre, taking what looked like more than half the pulls to the velodrome. If he raced the way many commentators suggest his competitors race against him, he would have stopped working with Van Aert, and forced Van Aert to pull all of the remaining 16 km to the velodrome to at least improve his odds in a 2-man sprint. Even allowing the group behind with LaPorte to rejoin would probably improve his chances of a win with a sneaky attack, or more complex sprint--to say nothing of allowing the race's strong man VDP a crack a the win. Instead, Pogacar put in his attack on Carrefour, and when he couldn't dislodge Van Aert, he towed the Belgian to his well-deserved and emotional victory. I personally love the positive racing from this new generation of superstars. They play their cards, and if it doesn't work out, they don't begrudge the winner his spoils. Even though MVDP was probably the strongest, and a Pog win would have been historic, it's so great to see Van Aert take this after all he has been through. Many of his fellow racers seemed to feel the same way.

- Ask him how much it costs him. He’s already admitted thoughts of retirement, he knows Seixas is going to be trouble, he knows to be wary of Jonas, he probably realises he won’t be able to keep up doing the splits every season and he knows he’s had a hood run accident and injury wise, maybe he’s got some sense and realises it might be better to take a step back to prolong the future or live it better.Mistermaumau13-04-2026
- If I can handle you, I can handle the truth. What you fail to realise is, your way of presenting the “truth” (it’s often incredibly picky and stretched) is BORING and the fact you can’t accept ANY counterpoints makes discussion pointless. You’re basically your own worst enemy, like the guy you claim to hate so much. You want (I actually think it borders a need) people to agree with you but even those that do are reluctant to do so, you may actually be putting off other fans, a few certainly seem to have gone AWOL.Mistermaumau13-04-2026
- I suspect that this is most likely just to keep the door open. It's far more likely that he will return, but not guaranteed. Perhaps he wants to win Itzulia to complete his major 7 collection (assuming he wins Romandie and Suisse this year), which is obviously far less of an achievement than winning all 5 monuments, but it is not a small one. And he is in no way obliged to come back next year so why force him?
Rafionain-Glas13-04-2026 - Maybe not flat, just lower pressure. By the time that Morgado got to look at the bike more air may have leaked out. Still, as you pointed out, it made little difference. And even if it had made a difference it would not have mattered as there was no way Pogačar was matching Wout in that sprint.Rafionain-Glas13-04-2026
- Also, wout will beat anyone who isn’t a pure sprinter in that situation - and Pog is good, but not a pure sprinterCrashjames13-04-2026
