  He's not the U23 World Champion... he's the U23 European Champion. Given the physiological differences it was interesting to see the battles between Widar and Seixas at the Tour de l'Avenir 2025. Seixas is 20 cm taller and 10 kg heavier. For that reason, Widar soloed to the win on both mountain stages, but lost too much time on the mountain prologue and the mountain time trial.

  I think it may be for comfort on the TT bike. In road races they put a plaster on the bridge of the nose to make the glasses more comfortable. A plaster on the chin would help make it more comfortable in a super aero position with the chin on the arms

  A professional cyclists' height/weight ratio is nowhere near that of the general population. Their bodies are akin to that of a tadpole, in terms of proportion. That's why cyclists have a very strong kick, like a frog.

  I hope Belgium race as conservatively as possible. The only way to beat Pogačar is to outwit him tactically. Junior Lecerf, Lennert van Eetvelt, Jarno Widar, Cian Uijdtebroeks and Remco Evenepoel must be domestíques for Wout van Aert, with Thibau Nys as the second option for the sprint.

  What's the reason for the big red plaster on his chin?

  Ever wonder why, if Paris-Roubaix is so much dependent on luck, MVDP has managed to be very lucky indeed as to almost win 4 times, consecutively? It's like a cyclocross race, only the terrain is flat throughout. In cyclocross, MVDP is known to win 30 out of 30 races, can you imagine? He's almost unbeatable.. and you can assume it's because of his bike handling skills developed in countless cyclocross races.

  Yes! I don’t know of any other one day race, that has more uncontrollable variables, than P-R.

  I swear you like to hear yourself speak. Each race is a jigsaw puzzle meaning they’re all different. And continually trying to fit the pieces makes one a winner. ie, the more one races it the more likely one is to win.

  There is no jigsaw’ each race and edition is différent. Experience helps but you also need the right distribution of luck amongst viable candidates so in the end, mental blocages aside, it’s a numbers game, any of them will win it if they try often enough.
