AWARDS: Your votes see Jumbo-Visma take landslide victory and be crowned CyclingUpToDate Team of the Year
CyclingMonday, 27 November 2023 at 19:00
In the most one-sided of our fan-voted CyclingUpToDate End of Year Awards to date, Jumbo-Visma have been crowned Team of the Year in a landslide.
Over two-thirds of all voters on our poll opted to give the all-conquering yellow and black team the victory. The battle between second and third was much closer as Team SD Worx edged out UAE Team Emirates for the second spot on the podium by just 1.42 percent, as just two votes separated the two teams!
With almost all of the voters opting for one of the three teams, just five votes were split between the remaining five teams, Soudal - Quick-Step, Alpecin-Deceuninck, INEOS Grenadiers, Bahrain - Victorious and Lidl-Trek.
In truth, Jumbo-Visma's victory is somewhat unsurprising given the fact that Primoz Roglic, Jonas Vingegaard and Sepp Kuss completed a historic Grand Tour hattrick and away from Grand Tour racing the success continued. A suffocating display at the Tour of Britain, victories at Tirreno-Adriatico, Gent Wevelgem, Dwars door Vlaanderen, Itzulia Basque Country, the Critérium du Dauphiné… The list goes on and on and on.

- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
- If you hold onto then, you blowup in a minute and then you finish 5 minutes down like Ben O'Connorabstractengineer21-12-2024
- Based on what argument?Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Agreed except the length of climbs, pretty sure you can stretch that to about a km unless we’re talking about half a dozen in quick succession.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Lot of contradictory information floating around world cup contenders, someone should do some tidying up.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- A bit much to suggest that Pogacar is better than MvdP on most terrains. The only terrain Pogacar is clearly better is long climbs, on any other terrain they are pretty even except flat cobbles and short and steep climbs (max a few 100 mtrs) where MvdP is clearly better than Pogacar.Velovibes21-12-2024
- The likelihood of RE improving enough at this point to outclass TP or JV is less than zero.verve82521-12-2024
- That’s the most stupid thing I’ve read for a long time, did you not go to school and learn even the most basic physics? Aero depends on one thing only, drag, drag depends speed and the relationship is squared and apart from maybe at zero or the speed of sound or due to side winds that relationship is valid at all speeds, it dies not “suddenly” start at a magic number. Very simply, the faster you go the more the effect becomes important. If you think 25km/h is needed to have noticeable effects you’re delusional, athletic WR are cancelled as soon as winds top 2m/s that’s 7.2km/h, why because the assistance is already too important at that speed and the times prove it. You don’t even consider wind which can significantly increase the effective speed for aerodynamics and you underestimate speed of climbs, 6% is ridden more at 30 than 25km/h, a speed at which early generation high rims were considered to have more advantages than disadvantages. And finally, as in normal races you can’t just switch bikes according to terrain, it’s pretty pointless to discuss climbs as a separate situation, the aero will have justified itself plenty during the rest of the ride.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
