- I hate to agree. If it was a lesser name that had won in that way, they would have been called a "wheelsucker". Still a win is a win and it goes down in the record books as that, no matter how it is gained.Cyclingsbestfan20-05-2025

- Why do we still see quotes from Wuyts? I’ve yet to read anything constructive from him - always criticizing riders, esp non Belgians. I wonder if he’s just envious of their talent?Crashjames20-05-2025
- Based on the last 5 TTs on WT & Pro levels, ProCyclingStats.com predicts Ayuso could gain 14 seconds on Del Toro, Roglic 20 seconds. Roglic would jump from 10th to 4th in GC during the TT. Personally I think Roglic will gain more than 20 seconds on both.Ride197420-05-2025
- Ah, here's the trick, one may not be able to beat Tadej, but still harbour the hope for GC podium. So, don't pull so hard. Let others do the work, then one can save energy and try to follow when Tadej attacks to limit the time loss.
