It's not exactly a secret that the INEOS Grenadiers are looking for a superstar, Grand Tour leader of the future with rumours in the past about their interest in Tadej Pogacar. Although no transfer has ever occurred, the Slovenian has recently been spotted training alongside INEOS in the Sierra Nevada.
With familiar faces such as Geraint Thomas, Filippo Ganna, Thymen Arensman, Tobias Foss and Salvatore Puccio joining Pogacar on a near-134km training ride, the riders are all smiles in a video posted to Instagram by Ganna.
Looking at the Strava data, the group travelled 133.9km on their ride around the Sierra Nevada, taking five and a half hours en route.

- It's lucky that Roger wasn't doping then!Pogboom18-06-2025
- I think this is actually the first cyclinguptodate article I've seen with the proper accents, so it's an improvement
Llywelynglyndwr17-06-2025 - I really don't see the reason for it being named after the newspaper anymore, so the name change is good. However, I think the new name is a bit of a mouthful, but abbreviations are out of the question. If you wanted to keep it as close as possible to the original it'd be Critérium du Auvegne-Rhône-Alpes (I'm not sure if that's correct)... which is even more of a mouthful. But the race is definitely not a Critérium, which is very misleadingLlywelynglyndwr17-06-2025
- Il Lombardia? with Tadej? mah... in the days prior, I'm sure he will be bitten by a shark.

- Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe need to take Lipowitz to the tour as a co-leader. Taking into account Lipowitz's performances and Roglič's tendency to crash out, it's not an option to sacrifice Lipowitz should Roglič be in trouble. Lipowitz beat Evenepoel by a significant margin in the Critérium du Dauphiné - I think he can fight for the podium. João Almeida would have to sacrifice himself for Pogačar, while I don't think Skjelmose will be putting much of a showing.Llywelynglyndwr17-06-2025
- That's because Del Toro purposefully gave the Giro away. Carapaz actually wanted to win. Sadly, some people have a problem with successLlywelynglyndwr17-06-2025
- If you take the GC of the Giro d'italia 2025 only including Stages 16-21, you'll find that: Simon Yates was the fastest, Richard Carapaz was 2:56 slower, Giulio Pellizzari was 3:17 down, Isaac Del Toro was 5:16 behind, Derek Gee was at 5:49, Damiano Caruso was at 6:17, Einer Rubio was at 7:59, Brandon McNulty was at 8:32, while Michael Storer was at 8:42 and Egan Bernal rounded off the top ten, being 9:24 down and the last rider within 10 minutes. After that the gaps start to baloon, with Rafał Majka at 11:08, Max Poole at 13:34, Adam Yates at 18:16, Davide Piganzoli at 24:42, Nicholas Prodhomme at 28:31, then an almighty jump to Thomas Pidcock who was 42:23 down, then Antonio Tiberi at 46:02, James Knox at 46:25, with Romain Bardet at 49:15 and Diego Ulissi rounding off the top 20, at 57:39 down, being the last rider within 1hr.Llywelynglyndwr17-06-2025
- Florian Lipowitz should seriously be a co-leader for Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe. I really don't want to see him have sacrifice his GC chances like Giulio Pellizzari had to do in Il Giro.Llywelynglyndwr17-06-2025
- I want to see grand tours where Vingo and Remco are there, but without Pogi.Llywelynglyndwr17-06-2025
I’m surprised how little the press has talked about Thomas’ comments regarding Quintana. Personally, I would want to be shown right next to him right now.
So, considering the press spoke so little of it, many of us have no clue and unless you fill in a bit, we never will would make the comment a bit pointless, no?
He and Luke Rowe called him a little F-ing Scumbag, and said he shouldn’t even be racing.
And in relation to what behaviour or incident was that? I’m sure that wasn’t during an interview so are you surprised the media didn’t blow it up?
Ok, I found it though your Scumbag tip wasn’t of any use.
I guess nobody made a fuss because they don’t want to give these attention seeking desperados any more time than they already have, besides they removed the content meaning that anyone reporting on it would have to reference a second-hand account of things which already didn’t seem very well registered.
Read up a bit more as the devil is always in details in these kind of things.
Considering Quintana was one of only two of 57 caught users that year to be punished or even informed he’d been tested +ve, no matter what GT and his sidekick think, they are way out of line to report selectively like that.
More fodder for those who believe the UCI keeps a
like/don’t like list to use as and when it suits them.
I don’t think there are many left that people take Thomas very seriously since he’s replaced results with comments.
And so does his primadone friend, Remco. Who is complaining more often than most riders in 6 month span?
I didn’t say Thomas was complaining, he just talks a lot, usually before races but no longer delivers. Remco complains but still delivers something, not as much as he expects but more or less what everyone else expects. He’s the only one to think (and behave) he’s above WVA, MvdP, JV, PR and TP, I don’t think many other people (except maybe his mum) do.
He’ll beat some some of the time but it won’t become a habit.
Kudos for trying though, really going for those bonus seconds against an old, battered and down man ;-)
Agreed😅
Just find him obnoxious at times. Maybe because I dislike those types of people, but still. Would have prefered him to do more racing than talk. Talk is cheap.
Better not let Lance see that!
Or Adrie Van der Poel
You think he calls his son to give him a bollocking when he rides with Tadej or Remco?
He would lmao🤣🤣🤣🤣
