- its a shame he has quit as i think he had more to offer and success for himself and his team and your along time retired. maybe at least see out the season and say farewellDavide11-01-2026
- What’s more, I think luxury is more the writers opinion than any objective evaluation, it certainly isn’t big and compared to many places not even costly (sou ds great in Kroner though). If I had to estimate, I’d say in value, Jonas’ 5 houses probably just about manage to equal Tadej’s apartment.Mistermaumau11-01-2026
- I don’t call the writers here journalists, they are at best paid posters, no more knowledgable than many of us. I certainly don’t agree with everything they say or portray but I do understand they have to provoke to make their hitherto business model sustainable. And as it isn’t possible to discuss with them, it’s more interesting, rewarding and instructive to pick points to discuss with people willing to engage. I choose and have my own reasons for positive of negative opinions on riders and engage when someone disagrees on those, not interested in engaging on other reasons. What I agree with or don’t is pretty irrelevant though, I think you’ll agree JV gets his fair share of lifestyle criticism (also here) so why should TP be exempt? Do you think he comes off worse?Mistermaumau11-01-2026
- Has anyone seen an official statement from Visma?Mistermaumau11-01-2026
- But, as was proven by ... in 2025 and others before, there’s always a way. Feel free to guess who I didn’t type outMistermaumau11-01-2026
- Yep something smells rotten with this whole situation.Hc222811-01-2026
- Not exactly a recent development, been known in elite sports for decades and cycling since years : « Approximately one in five professional cycling athletes will eventually develop a sport-related vascular problem. However, detecting such flow limitation is a diagnostic challenge as the sensitivity of the currently available standard diagnostic tools is limited. «Mistermaumau11-01-2026
- Unfortunately, that is sounding more and more like a plausible explanation to this situation.
santiagobenites11-01-2026 - You can have 100 cards but none of the cards will survive an attack by Pogi or MVDP from 80-100k outabstractengineer11-01-2026
- it is too simple to base improvement on points alone. Quick-Step lost a lot of points but might gain more wins and are shifting their focus. Juan Ayuso might be addition by subtraction. and Ineos picked up a lot of points. Onley gets a boatload for being 4th in the Tour. but who’s racing for 4th place?!?!?mij11-01-2026
