- I mean, he always stood out for consistency/resilience, not just in 2025. ANd not crashes... I don't recall he crashing.
maria2024202424-06-2025 - Almeida's resilience is phenomenal. I remember a stage of La Vuelta 2023 (l'Angrilu?): he was sick, with a severe cold. The team left him completely alone (discarded). He rode 100km alone, finishing... top 6!. It's usual to see him being dropped/ disappeared, but suddenly, somehow, at the end, arriving in privileged positions. His effort/energy control is brilliant. He's not a super-winner, but he's a fabulous ridermaria2024202424-06-2025
- I agree. Some teams think riding on the front gives them special powers. It doesn't. All it does is use up resources. Seems like the old traditions and tactics due hard lol. Chris is absolutely right beyond a reasonable doubtcaptmike24-06-2025

- Sometimes yes, sometimes no, there have been races where he’s been peculiarly unresponsive to challengesMistermaumau24-06-2025
- Alot of people thought it was equal after Stage 11. Obviously the bookies put Vingegaard above Pogačar after stage 11, because they are designed for the company to win.
Llywelynglyndwr24-06-2025 - Solution: 5 different races, one for each discipline, just like in track cycling. One each for TTT, ITT, Flat (Sprint), Hilly (Classic), Mountain (Climbing).Llywelynglyndwr24-06-2025
- Van der Poel can sustain a super high power, that's how he won Paris-Roubaix (though his superb bike handling was equally important). That's why I think he could potentially play an important role for GC, just like Wout has doneLlywelynglyndwr24-06-2025
- Yes, that is quite obvious (not wanting to be patronising), but everyone knows how similar Van Aert and Van der Poel are - and yet they have different roles, in which they are very successful. Van der Poel has said that he doesn't have the liking for the Tour de France grind, unlike Van AertLlywelynglyndwr24-06-2025
- Some riders mature later than others, he's Tadej's age, so maybe he is starting to find his best form.awp24-06-2025
