  First sentence: "The 2026 Vuelta a España will start on Saturday..."

  The departures are eye-opening, especially when coupled with the ongoing sponsor crisis. But if you look at the biggest cases individually, it's harder to see a pattern: - Yates didn't switch teams, he quit cycling. - Niermann left for a bigger role than he had at Visma - Benoot wanted to stay, but left for more money - Kooij left because Visma is not a true sprint team, and TDF was unlikely Meanwhile Wout, Sepp, and others continue on with no hint of controversy or tension. I think the sponsor thing is real, but that aside I think most of what we are seeing is the normal, even inevitable turnover of a team that has enjoyed huge success over a period of years. Whether they can survive this transition and stay at/near the top is a fair question, but I'm not sure I see anything "rotten."

  Injuries aside, he just had the best year of his career and has negotiated a schedule that suits him better personally. Visma does seem to be going through a transition, but too many top professionals - Wout, Sepp, Laporte, Campy, etc. - are happy at Visma to say something is "rotten."

  Clearly his heart just wasn't in it anymore. He gave us some pretty entertaining and exciting moments, though, and he rode with panache. I wish him all of the best for the future.

  No, Pogi won't retire early. I can't imagine how frieders3 and maumaue-mause are feeling. Being Pogi haters and still having to watch him for the next 5 to 6 years must be discomforting. The poor guys.

  I'm unstoppable I'm a Porsche with no brakes, I'm invincible. Yeah, I win every single game.

  Pogi himself will take, till the end of the year, if everything goes well: Two GT's, four Monuments and the WC. Ain't that funny? :)) PS: He will probably also take the European Championships, considering it's in his and my beautiful Slovenia. POG=GOD !!!

  Hey maumau-mause, this is a popular song here in Slovenia, from a singer called Adi Smolar. You can use ChatGPT to translate. But you usually sound so "SMART" you won't need ChatGPT: Jaz sem mali psihopat, psiho, psihopat, in te stisnu bom za vrat, bom za vrat! Z mano se ne smeš igrat, se ne smeš igrat, ker jaz sem mali psihopat, psihopat!

  Maybe he doesn’t actually know he has multiple personality disorder?
