- I wondered how Rwanda had been chosen as WC venue.. just curious I guess. You've filled-in the lack of info very well.. thanks.FredMan19-05-2025
- On what basis are you marketing them as a strong team? Budget, past results, organisation, complementary roles?Mistermaumau19-05-2025
- Beating a man when he’s down? That’s not exactly a sign of strength.Mistermaumau19-05-2025
- May be, everything is possible in a 3weeker. His high-paced ride with WVA (plus the upcoming TT) may hit him yet whikst Ayuso enjoyed the luxury of a protected group to « recover » 2 days. As used to happen in the past, maybe we’ll see a fresh guy eating 2-3 minutes into a tired one on a single climb again? Don’t know, don’t care but I’ll keep an open mind for the moment. Oh, and any of these guys can also have a Roglič day, or worse, a Jay day and by the end no-one will remember the final result could have or was distorted by such incidents.Mistermaumau19-05-2025
- Well said! I think many don’t realise how fast the stage was, if you look at the names who got ejected from the peleton most of the top 20 showed an amazing resilience, Ayuso had it easy, maybe because he chose to play it smart, maybe because he was too close to the limit, both are possible. Cycling is a funny sport, the only one where you can actually improve as the race goes along, well, in GTs at least. Weird how you can suddenly have a good day or week after suffering early on, but then we all know that from training too.Mistermaumau19-05-2025
- As I said, the cat’s away. UAE are not a team, they’re a collective of well paid talent that are hard to beat, the Real Madrid of cycling, but, with that come unmanageable egos and unlike in football (except Ronaldo) individual gials still top team performance so what do you expect. He’s just advancing his transfer pawns because the day will come when everyone at UAE realises the place isn’t big enough for all of them.Mistermaumau19-05-2025
- Kudos to del Toro. He rode away from everyone save an inspired Van Aert. All those strong riders behind putting time into Roglic, but he kept putting time into them. Deserving of the maglia rosa.velodan19-05-2025
- Did Bora get some bad spaghetti? What should be a strong team didn't look like it today.velodan19-05-2025
- He already may be, he left them behind and then took over Pinkabstractengineer18-05-2025
- 3 youngsters out in front and 10 people within 2 minutes. Not very long ago, all it took to gain 2 minutes on every other rider was a big effort in a mountain stage but that doesn’t seem to happen anymore.Mistermaumau18-05-2025
