- I find riders who aren't so serious right from the start more interesting to follow. When Florian Lipowitz burst onto the scene in Romandie 2024, he had many weaknesses. Explosiveness, consistency, time trial strength and the ability to push on the steeper sections. Now, he's improved with all of those, though he still has a while to go with his explosiveness. It is nice to watch a rider gradually mature in so many aspects. It is the same with Giulio Pellizzari. When he started grabbing attention he was just a pure climber. But then he showed that he has the consistency for 3 weeks, and his explosiveness has shot up. We've also found out that his time trial ceiling is very high. With Seixas, there's nothing as interesting. It is simply "get better and follow and brat Pogačar" On another note, if Seixas hits a hard wall and Lorenzo Finn keeps improving and surpasses him, it will be the greatest lesson in patience and not rushing anything

- Zonneveld is just trying to trigger anyone he can and Johan took the bait.Ignoring arseholes seems a dieing art these days but an exercise all of us would be wise to learn.
Brucegel11-05-2026 - I feel bad saying this, he is exciting to watch, but yes - I can see where you’re coming from @Rafionain-Glas.anonymouscyclist11-05-2026
- That’s a fair point. Whilst I can’t say I’ve personally picked up on that in his post-race interviews, I would agree with you when you say he isn’t humble. My feelings right now are that he is confident, and exudes that almost naive willingness to take risks that you often see in young talent. I read an interview at the start of the season where he said he kept himself away from family and friends all summer so he could focus on the 26’ season. Whilst his dedication is admirable, I’d be lying if I said a small part of me didn’t feel that was marginally arrogant, at least not yet justified for someone so young and his potential yet unknown.anonymouscyclist11-05-2026
- Good sportsmanship, good friendscaptmike11-05-2026
- Perhaps it is because he makes himself sound a bit too knowledgeable and not particularly modest either. Some riders really don't know how to say stuff. When Remco explains the reasons for why he didn't perform, it comes across as making excuses. When Seixas says "I can't imagine a comparison [with Pogačar]", it sounds like he is saying the opposite, for me at leastRafionain-Glas11-05-2026
- It is different when you factor in that they are good friends. Campenaerts was quite the mentor for de Lie at Lotto. And I think it's quite hard to forget when Campenaerts said that de Lie had "chosen the room with the naked women on the wall" when he went to stayRafionain-Glas11-05-2026
- He is incorrect. Jonas is not lucky, the others are very unluckyabstractengineer11-05-2026
- Agreed. Magnier was in peak form during the Tour of Poland; the T-Rex kit made his dominance look even more intimidating. They’re very different personalities but what makes you say Seixas isn’t as likeable?anonymouscyclist11-05-2026
