  Vingegaard normally peaks only once a year, and I don't think it's this week.

  Yes, he's certainly the GOAT, and can win any race he enters. But is he really thought of as invincible? I think there's still the lingering sense that he 'struggles' in climbing crosses. To remove that he'd have to go to Koppenbergcross and leave Thibau Nys, Emiel Verstrynge and Tibor del Grosso in his wake (which he can do). Or he can try winning the Worlds while starting from the back row.

  Robbie McEwan suggested that Del Toro let Seixas go out of respect, as he'd not worked at all while the Frenchman had done plenty. However, if that had been the case, I think he'd have stayed on his wheel but not come round him at the finish. It's not as if they were battling for the win or for the last spot on the podium, so there'd be no need for Del Toro to let Seixas go if he wanted to gift him 2nd place. I think he was on his limit. It was apparent that Seixas was stronger when he dropped Del Toro and briefly bridged across to Pogačar

  Certainly he doesn't have anything left to prove in cyclocross. he's already GOAT in that niche of cycling.

  Oscar is the 'young Brit' now, when the team is in a good position, but when he gets dropped later on he'll be the 'young Scot'. Typical

  It reads as if there is a mix of AI generated text, Google translate, and then just sloppy editing and typos. A case of "you get what you pay for"?

  What a win (although if he didn't win it'd have been bigger)! Personally I was most impressed by Giulio Pellizzari. After his debut at Strade Bianche where he exploded but still said that it'll be a fixed race for him for the next 10 years, there were probably some doubts but he silenced them. Also, Isaac Del Toro has a 2nd place curse with gravel races... 2nd in Classíca Jaén Paraíso Intérior 2025 (to Kwiatkowski), 2nd on stage 9 of the 2025 Giro (to van Aert), 2nd in Strade Bianche 2026 (with his duel with Seixas) and now 2nd to van der Poel here in Tirreno-Adriatico.

  like anyone asked him to do so.

  here is what I don’t get in the basque country crash. they did a recon. they notified the organizer the road was bumpy due to tree roots. yet he still went full gas into the corner? didn’t give gaps? he know it was a rough road and didn’t take precautions? how is that the organizers fault. and BTW, trees grow and disrupt surfaces. everyone has a brake on their bikes.
