- Would love this for him. RBBH is a little cramped now, and it'd be great to see him get some fresh chances, plus definitely help shore up the Visma mountain train.antipodeanpedalfan07-04-2026
- If they did that then the peloton would know who's boss. There is no longer a patron of the peloton. Or maybe there is one, and not one, several, because when Pogačar and Evenepoel break the rules, requiring disqualification, the UCI chickens away
Rafionain-Glas07-04-2026 - No. It says: It shall be strictly forbidden to cross level crossings when the barrier is down or closing, the warning signal ringing or flashing. Apart from risking the penalty for such an offence as provided by law, offending riders shall be sanctioned as provided in article 2.12.007; And 2.12.007 clearly states: Passing through a level crossing that is closed or in the process of closing (lights flashing and/or audible warnings) Rider: CHF 1,000 fine, 100 points from UCI rankings and elimination or disqualification and/or yellow cardaveragecyclist07-04-2026
- The rule states that you are "at risk of being disqualified" not "will be disqualified". The lights started fashing as they got there and the arms were still up. The car that went before them was the race organizer/UCI car.SYKOspaz07-04-2026
- How did I guess it was Naesen? This guy talks too muchRafionain-Glas07-04-2026
- Hindley is in a similar position to where Yates was, and I wouldn't be surprised if Visma turned him into a Grand Tour winner. Red Bull also wouldn't lose too much, because it would make the liklihood of one of their bigger leaders (Evenepoel, Lipowitz, Pellizzari)Rafionain-Glas07-04-2026
- I guess Mondo Duplantis's challengers feel much the same. But they still keep on trying, don't they?Cooldude07-04-2026
- Pog is riding in a different era . Less doping he says hoping. Look at Eddy the majority of his wins were due to not only been a strong and doped rider. But in them days teams only rode for their leaders. There was no chance of jumping up the road to win .if you leader was in poor form he was still the leader and you rode for him. No debate Pog is currently GOAT.paultryan200207-04-2026
- In 2024 analysts said that it was the greatest and most dominant year in cycling's history, of course by Pogacar. In 2025 analysts said Pogi was even better then in 2024, which means that the two greatest seasons in history were Pogi's. This year Pogi can once again surpass the two previous seasons and make it the three best seasons in history. And one more thing, Pogi is making his own history records (4 consecutive Monument wins: 2025-LBL, Lombardia, 2026-Sanremo and Flanders). If he wins Paris-Roubaix this coming Sunday (a tough one with MVDP), he'll probably win all five in one season. Never done before. He then will have 7 consecutive Monument wins... never done before. Don't even get me started on stage races this year (Tour de Romandie, Tour de Suisse and Tour de France)...and of course the WC in Montreal. This is still a big "IF"... but if Pogi will be healthy and have no big crashes, he can do it. And if he does it, then Mr. Eddy Merckx can come, kneel down in front of him and say: "I praise you. You are not the GOAT, but the GOD of cycling. I will clean your shoes and wash your feet...my Lord." 😂😂😂... So yes, like Armstrong said, let's stop the BS and say what it is. Pogi is the Greatest Of All Time!!! Ad acta!!!Mou-Cro-HR07-04-2026
- at least he goes for it like Lombardia, and he works hard for his team as in the TdFmij07-04-2026
