- Their team had a strategy of Tadej winning and del Toro being second of third. Tadej had to help him all along that route. However, it's clear those two guys are very close friends, so it's understandable. Del Toro is impressive too, this was his first Tour. He and Paul Seixas are going to be competitors throughout their careers and it's going to fun to watch.awp30-10-2026
- There is no doubt about that, Jonas is a beast. If you remember back, he was much lighter for the 2024 Tour than normal after that crash because he had so much muscle loss, but he still raced and finished second, he cried at the end because he didn't think he would make the podium when he decided to race it, but did it anyway.awp30-10-2026
- Yes, he needs to go for his sixth Tour win. He's the best cyclist in history so he needs to get to his sixth. There is time for Roubaix later.awp30-10-2026
- An 'any excuse for CUTD to mention Pogacar' story 😁
leedorney30-10-2026 - As far as i saw the tour He dropped both Sexias and Remco on multiple stages even after the Giro, so rather they will be under pressure from him since he will be behind. He has already won the TDF, they haven't, he has nothing to lose.abstractengineer30-10-2026
- "Naturally, we want the suspense to last as long as possible," there is no suspense, we already know the result. If they design routes like this it will be like 2017 where Froome just win based on his TT and Uran just followed wheels into 2nd, a very horrible tour but times were pretty close by without major actions.abstractengineer30-10-2026
- Breakthrough win came from breakthrough tactics not breakthrough performance. Mcnulty will still be the same. Del Toro was inconsistent, at Dauphine he was good and at TDF he was struggling. He has not yet won any monument or GT, he will but he has not yet. None of them are close to pogi, >1 level down. Del Toro should not be at the TDF if he is going to slow down Pogi.abstractengineer30-10-2026
- same risk as every year. even if he crashes and breaks a collarbone or the like, there would be enough time to heal and regain fitness for the vuelta, which - although not the tour - is probably the more worthy season goal for his palmares.Ketterechts30-10-2026
- I Agree he should skip the tour, Pogi will win by 10 minutes, Remco will Crash and burn. Del Toro and Sexias will finish on the podium. THen they will again design for Jonasabstractengineer30-10-2026
- it's just that he won't be able to win the vuelta with pogi finishing up what he started this year.Ketterechts30-10-2026
