- "An evening spent with a sewer"
I read that subheading thinking it was a sewer (sewerage pipe) and got really confused... How do you spend an evening with a sewerage pipe?! LOL. Took me reading the rest of the article to figure out it meant someone who does sewing... lol
- Gall needed to take as much time as possible on the other contenders who are better than him with time trialing vs trying to win a stage against Jonas!
Do you even understand tactics?
- Toon is 32 years old...no one is gonna throw a lot of money at him. He's probably doing his first ever grand tour to help with the cyclocross training base.
- As I'm sure everyone knows, I like doing some data snooping, and, for Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe, Florian Lipowitz is both a blessing and a curse at the Grand Tours. In each of his three Grand Tours, a Red Bull rider has made it onto the podium: Dani Martinez at the Giro 2024, Primož Roglič at the Vuelta 2024 and Lipowitz himself at the Tour 2025. But in the other 6 Grand Tours since he joined the team in 2023 where he hasn't taken part, they've never managed to podium. If Hindley and Pellizzari fail at the Giro it only continues
- IMO the most impressive rider was Toon Aerts. He shouldn't have been there. Much like Davide Piganzoli, Toon is a diamond in the rough. From what he's shown, if a big team signs him next year he can make some big jumps
- Mathys Rondel will be overjoyed to have been called Romain Bardet. Perhaps Pascal Michiels is prophesising
- Not riders fault but team management . Making Gal ride the whole climb on front of best rider in the Giro and shock horror Vin smashes him.
- What was Decathlon team manager thinking telling rider on the front with Vin sitting on your wheel and let Vin then take stage. Any wonder they never win . Just playing into Visma hands. Crap tactics and lost the stage Visma must be laughing their socks off.
- So let me get this right. Jonas who is also a lightweight rider will no question beat the current leader no question because he is light and has never had true GC aspersions. As stated in the article:
"Afonso Eulálio is on tremendous form, and will ride with motivation, but we have to be logical. A lightweight rider, who has never had real GC aspirations for stage-races since joining the World Tour and has no references for solid time trials, is simply not going to fare well in this effort."
You realize that every single GC rider at one point is a guy who happens to be off and on in terms of form and then show up and win. And then keep winning. I don't know if he will win the TT or the Giro. But, to count him out because of your reasoning is just plain silly. Plus, you stated it as fact as well. That is not a fact
- Luke, Luke, can you sense my great power? I will win the TT on Tuesday and take the lead, the force is strong..
