  Hard to believe Nairo wouldn't be a better bet than whoever the worst/weakest rider that Movistar sends in his place. The guy's past his prime sure but he is not grupetto material like late stage Froome. And Movistar would have gotten great visibility and press coverage for the legend of the past doing his last Vuelta... Bad decision IMO

  Rider for rider I see no team close to UAE in the mountains once again just like TDF. Pogacar, Vine and Almeida (maybe 100% but even if not 100%) like noone close to this in the vuelta even so. Gonne end up UAE dominating again and winning most stages with several guys like usual.

  This is surprising. Only he could have supported Mas and Cian in the high mountains. It also shows a lack of respect for Movistar, which is huge in Columbia.

  Mou, you know we all know you’re replying to your comments from your other accounts, right? *Right?*

  OK, I will be fair and write about Pogi and Jonas. Here's a little history: I still like remembering the Giro 2024. The Italians loved Pogi, his style of racing and attacking. On the last stage we could see hundreds of Italians holding Slovenian flags or signs saying: "Grazie Tadej... grazie Pogi..." or "Tadej, ti amiamo"-meaning "Tadej we love you." ... I saw nothing like that this year when Jonas won. He's just a boring cyclist, that's a fact. Yes, he's good, one of the best stage racers...but boring... Yawn yawn... Now the Spaniards are going crazy over Pogi. The Spanish media exploded: "TADEJ POGAČAR, THE BEST CYCLIST IN THE WORLD IS COMING TO SPAIN"... Pogi vs everyone will be interesting. Cyclists fighting for second and third place will be interesting. Austin Powers would say "Yeah baby"!!!

  eah all this is true and valid. Visma seem to be a total chaos for several reasons youve highlighted and not to remember from old visma anymore. Their trend is even worse and main reason im very sceptical on them going forward next year.

  This is just stupid, Organizers have the maximum power to make change, to make a course safe. Not UCI. UCI is literally powerless before ASO and RCS. The UCI is a stupid org but that dont mean it is completely responsible for all that is wrong. Also the team pushing the rider and the rider themselves putting themselves at risk are also prominent reasons. UCI are at fault for not investigating the proper causes and not making the rules. Here's what is common Finlay Tarling (2026): Descent/Traffic André Drege (2024): Descent Muriel Furrer (2024): Descent Gino Mäder (2023): Descent Tijl De Decker (2023): Traffic Davide Rebellin (2022): Traffic Antoine Demoitié (2016): Traffic Wouter Weylandt (2011):Descent Fabio Casartelli (1995): Descent there have been plenty of serious/near death experiences as well probably 10 times more- Jonas, Remco, Froome, Bernal

  Hey you, the american redneck Trump voter, is that all you've got? It's tough when you run out of valid arguments, ain't it?

  Yeah you did, but not about the same topic. I have more inside information than Cyclinguptodate. Capish?
