- So you want to see less racing instead of more? I don’t care about men vs women. I care about who is the fastest/most entertaining. They also do not ride the same route the majority of time? That’s equality?So same prize for less, slower, work? This wouldn’t be a thing anywhere but sports. Does Treks best female rider make as much as their best male rider, if not, why?Kbd01-05-2026
- I think they say afraid rather than wary because they are just searching for something
Rafionain-Glas01-05-2026 - Well said, one of the best at keeping cycling interesting. Really happy he’s still motivated and not hinting at retirement. Together with Wout’s newfound motivation and form, we gave some more years of great racing ahead.Mistermaumau01-05-2026
- Why? You think humans can’t write slop? I worked as a proofreader many years before AI, this kind of mistake is so typical, usually either stemming from rewriting a part of a sentence to improve readability but then being too lazy to reread it or cheap to have someone else do it, or less likely in this case, a lapsus (traditionally just an innocent mistake but now more used to highlight writing something revealing an origination of a subconscious thought like you something you wished or felt in place of a fact but without being conscious of doing so).Mistermaumau01-05-2026
- I don’t think it’s a question of recovery, it’s not really possible to say as we’ve never seen him trying to take a Tour seriously. He always participates knowing he had an ulterior goal just after (for which he often abandoned prematurely). It’s more a question of having no motivation to ride mountain stages and no motivation to ride subdued 3 weeks for a better GC position, he just isn’t motivated by stage races (exact opposite of Jonas) and does the one week ones almost solely as preparation for other goals. It’s the fans’ problem if they can’t accept that different riders enjoy different things and aren’t all the same. For sure his interviews are more enjoyable than most and also more natural, honest and authentic, he’s always more cool about handing out praise to others than criticism. The only disappointing thing about him is that even he seems to forget women’s cycling is a thing, and as. a Dutchman that’s particularly worrying, they are THE country where you’d not expect the men to consider themselves more important.Mistermaumau01-05-2026
- I'm a mountain biking fan big time, so I followed PFP there. Plus we have the same birthday : ) She is amazing.mij01-05-2026
- he should be wary - Jonas is amazing. but afraid, I think this is a bit overstated. and BTW not sure Jonas is afraid of Tadej. these guys are separated by seconds over 21 days.mij01-05-2026
- amen. and I don't remember seeing Tadej at the UAE tour . . . Remco is a great rider, but I think we're seeing his ceiling. his results are admirable for sure. the other fault with Boonen's comment . . . yes Tadej will fade, but who else is coming up besides Seixas that will be better than Remco when Tadej fades? Remco won multiple worlds, gold medals, a GT, monuments, 1 day races, week long tours. his record is amazing. he just isn't Tadej and won't ever surpass him it seems, so he has a limit.mij01-05-2026
- Given their shared history, it is unsurprising that Tadej considers Jonas his biggest rival at the Tour. Is he afraid of him, though? Naah.Cooldude01-05-2026
- Pogacar is literally playing with their balls. He can do whatever he wants in this race.Pedalmasher01-05-2026
