- LMAO these Belgian loosers. I'll tell you something that Primoz could loose: his dignity.elosanjos25-09-2026
- Why single out the Belgians as a bad example? Why not single out who did it smartly for the others to learn from, or better still, explain to EVERYONE how to do it because obviously nobody knows, then hope nobody actually tries so you don’t have to explain what they now did wrong.Jumpyjohn25-09-2026
- My question is always whether he can have a productive temper tantrum rather than a petty one. He seems to get super powers when he has them, but he loses so much time and energy having them that he has to catch up. Imagine him using one to lead instead. Without Pogačar there, his string of (angry chasing) second places could end. I doubt it will happen, but I keep waiting for it to happen!RidesHills25-09-2026
- "I did some VAM efforts at 2,500 meters for the first time ever", Is his coach even properly training him for a GT?abstractengineer25-09-2026
- I want him to blow up and then cause drama, He will blame WVA, the team, coach, the other riders, mechanics, bike, sun sky, road, all except himself.abstractengineer25-09-2026

- Yeah it's quite unique in sport I think, to have so many distinctions on jerseys for past achievements. Even the stickers on the race numbers for stage wins. I like it. I kind of wish they had more, so former winners of GTs or Monuments had something to mark it on their kit.wrsty25-09-2026
- In america your orange orangutan is giving health updates about american cyclists. Trump has become the new "Chuck Norris" LOL !PogiSloFans25-09-2026
- Quinn Simmons is a very talented rider but he is not the sharpest knife in the draw. Much to "Gung Ho" typical Yank.
Senna196025-09-2026 - Yeah, but in the eyes of the worlds’ great saviours, some people are worthless except for their consumer value. I have yet to see a country going to another with arms to do selfless good.Jumpyjohn25-09-2026
