  And yet, according to Google, the National Football League is the most successful sports league in the world far outpacing others and it has a very strict salary cap. Not saying that it will work for cycling, but saying that salary caps are communist is stupid.

  Great ride JV. Got the trilogy now. Hopefully a good build up to the TDF after awell earned rest. Well done Jai Hindley to get on the podium. Where will he end up in 2027?

  I’m not even sure what to say. Thank you for sharing that; it really touched me. They’re beautiful words, and I don’t know how to respond to them, but I think that’s okay, because sometimes the most authentic response can be to acknowledge the depth of another. (and thank you for the translation!)

  Agreed. And even the TT was not a huge concern in that a long, flat run is not his thing. If the TDF has released its route I haven't seen it, but I do not recall one quite like it at that race in some time. If it is a short one, or uphill, or both, should not be a problem.

  Danish professor in psychology and cycling fan, Svend Brinkmann, wrote this on fb today (ai translation) When Jonas Vingegaard wins the Giro d’Italia today, he will have won all three Grand Tours and must be regarded as the greatest Danish athlete of all time. With all his victories, we gradually forget to appreciate just how incredible this achievement is, and how lucky we are as cycling fans! And to all the young men who supposedly lack masculine role models, who get lost in the manosphere, lift weights, looksmax, and follow Andrew Tate: you have a better role model right there in Jonas Vingegaard. He shows that you can be strong without having huge arms; that you can be a global star without chasing attention on social media; that you can work hard and still put your family first; that you can live in Glyngøre and be recognized around the world; that you can be a little awkward and shy and still win people’s hearts; and that you can absolutely be a real man while dressing head-to-toe in light pink. Congratulations to Jonas Vingegaard — and grazie mille for the effort and integrity!

  In a sense, yes, the Tour always holds rank over the other GT's. However, historically the Giro has harder climbs than the Tour. This Giro was not as hard as previous years, but the Tour this year is also not as hard. In the 2026 Tour they only break 2000 meters twice before finishing the second day (they finish there on Stage 19 and 20 ) on Alpe D'huez. I think that Jonas has his best chance this year, and maybe his last chance to win a Tour before father time catches up. I'm interested in watching Tadej at the Tour de Suisse in a few weeks and seeing where his form is as well.
