  The US has gone through a long convoluted process of defining how athletes can make money off their "Name, Image, and Likeness," and I see the point that Pederson and the other athletes are making here. Also, how very Mads Pederson to say, "Everyone has seen the somewhat tacky advertisements." You can almost see that sly smile on his face when he says it.

  Vine coming from his background and then succeeding on a team full of superstars, so great. He's got solid wins (GC and TT), would be even more successful in the TT if he didn't live in the era of Ganna and Evenepoel, and seems to have a thing for the Vuelta. Aren't something like 1/3 of his wins there? (Checks procyclingstats - yes, 5 of the 14) Great guy, and I wish him all the success he can find!

  Such a soft spot for Vine. To watch him come from the Zwift Academy to the levels he is at, now, is incredible. Always rooting for a Vine win.

  With the exception of Axel Laurence, the rest are in their 30's. My opinion is I think, perhaps, we're beginning to see the effects of younger riders coming into the pro ranks. I believe we're going to see those effects in the coming years. All teams are looking for the next Pogi, Jonas & Seixas. Of course, Seixas hasn't proved himself yet. He's just a kid. I believe he will though. Remco is a strange case. I believe if he can overcome being erratic, he should wn a few Tours, What do you guys think?

  And, at 2% he'll still destroy the competition...

  I agree.

  I hear you, I'm 73 with C5 & C6 fused. Also, I'm two aortic valve replacements and three pacemakers down. Yea, Father time is catching up. I'm just glad I can ride at a good level. Uphills are not my favorite however, I love those downhills! I guess I give us 'old guys' some inspiration. :~ )

  Prove otherwise... I'm sure there's thousands of Glaswegians will be happy to tell you their version of it!

  they should allow teams to add to the roster limit if they are adding riders in other disciplines. for example, you can have 30 road riders, 3 gravel, 3 mountain bike, 3 cyclocross. that way a team isn't penalized by losing road riders by expanding into other disciplines. of course it needs to be policed as does a team classify Pidcock, MVDP or WVA as cross, mountain, or what? But that is workable.
