I think the real issues are that Pidcock:
1) Started in MTB where you ride for yourself and not a team.
2) Has been coddled by British media as a gifted once-in-a-generation talent who is destined for greatness, which has got to his young head.
well THIS seems like a bad idea. might as well try to put wout and MATHIEU on the same team. tom and wout have way too many of the same goals, unless something has changed that i don’t know about. let’s say they do it. season starts with milano — san remo. who is the team riding for, tom or wout? rinse and repeat, for the rest of the season…
Maybe they think it’ll replace Rogliç (who never had problems with Wout) and allow them to do another podium sweep (the Vuelta kind not the Tour kind) ;-)
you’d need to convince tom that while mathieu and tadej are around there’s no point in focusing on the spring classics and he just needs to learn how to be the best gc rider he can possibly be. i mean, on PAPER that’s a pretty strong argument, but i’m not at all sure you could sell it to pidcock.
I doubt they have the money for it. Not 4 million quid
they just cleared primož’s millions off the books, didn’t they?
As a Visma fan....no thanks. Some great riders have come on board and been able to fit nicely within the ethic and hierarchy of the team, but Pidcock does not seem like that kind of guy to me. Red Bull makes more sense anyway, because of both the sponsorhip and the opportunities he'd have.
Yeah, it feels odd. Pidcock should go for a team where he can be the outright leader because let's be honest, he's not a team player.

- I thought Remco raced positively and confidently. He put his team on the front, kept himself in position, and stayed out of trouble in incredibly challenging conditions. He put himself in position to win, or at least contend for the podium. There is no way a guy with only 2 prior race days can know exactly how he is going to respond to rocketing up that final ascent of the Mur. Once he saw he couldn't follow Pogacar, he still kept fighting for a podium spot until he blew up. I appreciate how this generation of riders races positively, rather than waiting for favorites to make every move.
Barney25-04-2025 - Cycling is funny like that, you can be struggling for weeks, feeling like you’re tied back by an elastic and you can’t seem to find a solution and then bam, one day you’re flying like it snapped. Don’t know any other sport where you can hve such huge swings from one moment to the next.Mistermaumau24-04-2025

- The champions of Amstel chugging contest are also the champions of this race. Coincidence? I think not :)
KerisVroom24-04-2025 - " I can only blame that on the cold"... mmm... maybe you can blame the Mur de Huy. Even with 25°C you are far away from Tadej in hard climbs (and from Jonas). And this is a tired Tadej... Imagine a Tadej at 100% of his shape.. Wait for Liegi that suits better for you (rain or not rain).
