- Almeida isn't a sour puss like Ayuso.
- I need to watch the replay first before I comment too much, but this young man is stupendous. If he can win the Tour in the next three or four years this will be massive for french cycling.
- It'd be beyond infuriating to the French, if due to too much pressure, Seixas switches nationality to Portuguese and then wins the Tour de France. Chants of "Trâitre..." up the mountains. "Trâitre Seixas" would the name they'd give him
- Remco would have got dropped by Sexias
- One person who definitely won't be happy with this decision is João Almeida. Hope he doesn't pull a Juan Ayuso move and go to Paul Seixas's team...

This race is always a boring one.
It's always about as interesting as Jonothan Milan vs Milan Fretin and Daniel Skerl at the Alula Tour.
A drag race where leadouts, tactics, drafting, everything is removed. The strongest rider always wins dominantly, and there is never a real contest.
Compare that to Amstel.
- Lenny Martínez, Mattias Skjelmose, Romain Grégoire, Kévin Vauquelin, Cosnefroy and Christian Scaroni should be ashamed of themselves. A 19 year old french boy beat all the "experienced" professionals...ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...
I'm delighted with Seixas because he did this on a field that doesn't suit him 100%, on short climbs.
It doesn't matter that happened against B-C category cyclists, but realistically, today Seixas eats for breakfast Remco and Vinni the 🐟 if they performed. He's great, a big champion.
The race of the decade awaits us at LBL. The wizard from France has no flaws and is a machine💪💪💪💪💪. Will we see a tough fight between Pogi and Seixass, or will Remco beat both of them? I already know the outcome.
- He has his bike with him - Froome should have been DQ'd as he ran without his bike.
- With such modest field of endurance sprinters, I find it quite a disappointment that a stage with 3700 m of climbing ends like this. There's Pidcock and Dati who are second rate endurance sprinters, and no-one else.
If top riders like Michael Matthews, Filippo Ganna or Iván Romeo (along that axis) were here, it would've been a great stage.
If the stage had Santa Barbara as a summit finish it'd have been great. That climb is 13 km at 8.2%, maximum 24%.
The stage, in that case, would've been cruel. 188 km with 4700 m of climbing is very hard.
It could have finished on the straight section of Santa Barbara (so the climb would be 6.3 km at 9%, maximum 24%), making the stage 181 km with 4240 m of climbing, which'd have been better.
- he is definitely pretty confident, but the animosity is next level.
