vannpelt28-07-2026 - I watch every stage from start to finish... there's always people who will enjoy it, but that number will get lower and lower...williamric28-07-2026
- The record on the tourmalet is anything but a fairly contested record like the 100m (track or pool) which is done many times under the same conditions contrary to less than once a year with different distances up to the foot of the mountain and different strategies from pacemakersJoostMehrtens28-07-2026
- Tadej had a bad day in 2022 TDF only because he aggressively chased down every single attack (WVA, Rogla, Laporte and Jonas) himself rather than relying on his team or riding defensively.MajorPayne28-07-2026
- Vingegaard and Philipsen losers? A bit harsh since they both still won a stage. Especially since Vingegaard got kicked out of the tour and was not able to show himself on stages where he would be at his best (even though he probably still would have lost) Merlier a winner, we have often seen the best sprinter win at least 4 stages or otherwise all, he was beaten by Kooij and did not even finish the tour. 3 stages is good but doesn’t beat 2 stages and a second place overall while being competitive in a few others stages.JoostMehrtens28-07-2026

- You did not watch the individual stages apparentlyJoostMehrtens28-07-2026
- Nonsense. Tadej had bad days in both of his TDF losses, and with Jonas at his peak and Wout at his, it was game over. Take away any of TJV's other domestiques and the result is exactly the same.MidnightRider28-07-2026
- I've told that before: salary cap is not sustainable. If you try to somehow impose it by controlling contracts, the companies behind teams would simply make a workaround by eg establishing some company under the cyclist's name to found him or just send the money to his family. That is 100% impossible in XXI capitalists world, unless you'd try to make North Korea.BenAflec28-07-2026
- Salary cap would have no impact. I suppose one good helper is nice in case of emergency, but outside of that Tadej needs very little. He won his first TDF by (mostly) sitting on TJV. Since then his team has gotten better, but it's irrelevant on the monster solos that provide most of his time gaps. I mean, with or without Yates he was going to set Alpe d'Huez on fire, right? And heck, Tadej did more to support Del Toro than Del Toro did for Tadej. Take away both those guys and what would be different about this TDF? Not much.MidnightRider28-07-2026
