- Spot on comments there was no opposition after crash on stage 2. Yes Vin made no great efforts but the rest were really 2nd string riders or riders that will be domestics come the TDF.Vin is a class act but has had no real opponents this season. Bar accidents or bad luck cannot see Vin getting anything other than 2nd.paultryan200216-06-2026
- LOL... LOL... LOL... Michael Storer, in a professional cassification, is a third class cyclist. He has no idea who and what Pogi is. He said: “I was doing better than in previous years at the Giro and I was still getting quite big time gaps from Vingegaard. So I would say he can beat Pogačar this year at the Tour.” ... That is something an amatuer would say. Storer, you're making a fool of yourself. No need for that.Ante-Ustashe16-06-2026
- We’ll see. Tadej is in pretty red hot form too. And in Jonas’ second GT last year, the Vuelta, which was a win, he looked weak against a weak field. Not saying he won’t win, but let’s see what happens when he faces Tadej. I’m just excited both riders are currently healthy and no injuries to recover from. Let’s hope it stays that way. In each of their victories, the other was compromised. We’ve never seen each at full strength. It will be such an awesome battle to watch.mij16-06-2026
- Well that is an age old and very good question. I think some of each, plus family support and more.mij16-06-2026
- just for the sake of clarity, gianni never said “mathieu wants to win everything at all costs.” he said “mathieu was the best at everything.”OCexile16-06-2026
- The question is, are you a winner then develop the genetics, or do the genetics give you the confidence to be a winner? Because I’ve know a lot of talentless people who have all the self-belief in the universe, and get no where. Both these guys Dad’s were pros, Remco was was the best junior in Belgium within 8 months of riding. It’s easy to be a winner when you win everything, lol.Hulk-Gogan16-06-2026
- Idiotic fellas
Rafionain-Glas16-06-2026 - Good that they haven't mentioned Roglič... but Vlasov won't do anything. It'd be better to mention van der Poel as a rival in the hills, and potentially Thibau Nys (whose form was not bad in Gippingen for a rider who's spent 4.5 months out)Rafionain-Glas16-06-2026
- Speaking of which, has the site banned the Moustache again?Rafionain-Glas16-06-2026
- They've got a decent squad for the hills with Debruyne and Verstrynge... also del Grosso for the easier races, which could convince van der Poel to race the hilly classics because he'll have riders who can actually attack and use him as a tactical peg, along with a leadout man in del GrossoRafionain-Glas16-06-2026
