- Unexpectedness-wise, that’s exactly how wildcards should be attributed. Growing betting sponsor backlash and problems in sport might have affected things too.Jumpyjohn30-01-2026

- I can relate but don’t think it’s such a big issue, here we have 10 teams within a minute of each other. Like every other day except the ITT, strong riders have to count on a team just in case, that collaboration/organisation/strategy is best tested during a TTT where there is no-one else to take advantage of. Cycling is always defined as a team sport, we should remember that when placing too much focus on only looking at the strong riders. Otherwise, help the Saudi start a rival Tour, solo no team (no drafting would make it too boring for spectators so not really solo). They will soon have plenty to invest now that LIV is dying.Mistermaumau30-01-2026
