A great career - he was so fun to watch. I remember when the "big 3" was MVDP, WVA, and JA. He fell off quickly after a few big crashes, but was always such a gentleman in interviews and to his fellow cyclists. And he showed real class in the Quick-Step break up.

I hope Gall does well - seems like such a great guy. Mads too.

Tadej is an entity unlike nothing else. one year of his career would be the palmares of an entire TEAM for a DECADE and they would be stoked.

yeah just said the same about WVA, Sepp, etc and your points are good ones. As I said, I think every time but UAE would take the "problems" of Visma

yeah I'll give you all of that but it could be so many things. A lot of the guys - WVA, Sepp, Victor C, etc seem quite happy

Jegat is not a top climber but simply a rider who can get into breakaways.

Everything here is just openly knowned knowlege about visma declining. We know griescha left, we know visma have no money and we know their roster is getting incredible weak and we know they cant keep up with the likes of RBH and LIdl even. I dont know what ur on about but this is all knowned by all now

Some signing make no sense, they already have Ayuso, Skejlmose, there were already grumblings then. Then Gall is coming, he is a genuine podium contender now, so should be fine, even though friction will increase. Gall and Ben also had differences. Now Jegat, he is in no mans' land, not good enough to win GC or stages, but good enough for top 10 , used as domestique early will be not good and will not survive the peak fighting on the last slopes. He is pretty good for teams fighting for points but not for Lidl

Andrew August could be the next big American cycling star. I'd say he absolutely has the ingredients, but it's too early to say he's the guy. His development is one of the things I'm most curious about over the next 2–3 years. He's got a pretty unusual combination of youth, climbing ability, European experience, and already-proven winning instincts. He’s one of the more intriguing young American road prospects right now. We have to give him time. PS: You should also ask @frieder3, he knows everthing about American cyclists. They call him the "Human Encyclopedia of American Cycling."
