- Congrats to Wout... he deserves the wins after all the bad luck he had to go through. He's also a nice guy.M-cOnstitUtion10-05-2026
- Brilliant win by Wally! I'm sure everyone is thinking the same question about Niels Vandeputte. His engine is HUGE (no explanation needed - he doesn't have the nickname Tailgunner Charlie in CX for no reason), and his sprint is FAST (he outsprinted Tim Merlier to take the Belgian National Gravel title). He didn't give Vermeersch and the others a chance in the sprint. So how is it that he is not a key workhorse for Alpecin-Premier Tech's Road team? He has everything needed, and would get the title of Breakaway Harrier. What's most likely is that he isn't motivated enough, which is a shame. He was mentored by Adrie van der Poel when he was younger (and still now), and grew up with David and Mathieu as almost older brothers. He's said that Adrie often treats him like a 3rd son. Hence he'd be the most loyal of domestíques. But as he's shown in these gravel races against Vermeersch, he could be a leader himself

- I second this. Pretty phenomenal moment. 24 years old, first Giro and not only a stage win, but the pink jersey, and a first grand tour stage win for Uruguay. That raw vulnerability in the post-race interview is exactly why people fall in love with the Giro.anonymouscyclist10-05-2026

- Doesn't really matter now - he's effectively the outright leader of the team. Bjerg is a workhorse; Morgado and Narváez were both affected by the crash and neither were on form; Arrieta isn't on the same levelRafionain-Glas10-05-2026
- Agreed. More people want to watch cyclo-cross and cross country running than figure skatingRafionain-Glas10-05-2026
