- What about a one-week tour that is never in the same country twice. Then you can have a race that spends the whole time in one place, wherever it is on the globe - and the riders only have to deal with travelling there and back before and after all the racing is done. And leave the national tours to happen inside those countries. Instead of this Grand Depart nonsense where they have to go all the way to wherever for three days and then come back again. I suppose if the UCI and whoever owns the Tour etc didn't have a stranglehold on the big races, maybe they'd end up doing a cycling version of F1 and fly the riders around the globe all year.
- He’d start on Mars with Musk if he could. Sport should really start to question itself a bit.
- Is it just perception or is it now impossible to see a pro race without a crash?
- Red Bull use this one simple trick: you won't believe what happens next! Visma Lease-A-Bike hate him!
- Congratulations, Afonso! Respect! Great bike riding, your mtb roots came in handy today! I won't say Bota Lume, but I'll say "Carrega, Figueira!!"
- Prioritizing the Tour de France over the Giro remains the industry standard. Aside from those rare years when heavy hitters attempt the trio, or the elusive Triple Crown, this hierarchy is the norm.
Jonas does not deserve to be described as ‘second team’ status, however. For the last 5 years, he’s been on the Tour podium, and won 2 of those. His riding style is different to what we’re used to with Tadej, I fully anticipate him to take the Pink jersey, with ease, in the mountains.
- If Caruso signs another year it'll be crazy
- A well deserved win!
- Now with his trainer going to Red Bull and Kellerman out...how long until Jonas uses one or both for poor performance? Today he rode like he was scared of something. I saw a few times his teammates were flicking the elbow to him (move up, take a short pull signal) and he stayed put. The top 3 riders (and some other top 10) are not garbage riders who got lucky. They are legit riders and they have a legitimate chance to stay ahead of Jonas with 7min and change on him already.
- He's had multiple other crashes too. Maybe just bad luck. But I have to wonder
