- Well said @RideHills 👏🏼
- OMG!!!
As I wrote in the post below the other article,
Paul is incredibly good, but he isn't quite at Tadej's level yet.
- The season is over, so there has to be something to write about.
No one disputes that Paul is a top-tier young cyclist.
But in the absence of other news, comparing him to Tadej is utter nonsense.
He still has a lot of developing to do before he can win Grand Tours or Monuments that Tadej also competes in.
- It is easy to celebrate those who won the grand tours and the monuments. and the world championships. What I notice more are the ones who were at the world tour and kept going on the pro tour level for that little bit longer, still wanting to ride after their bodies had aged, after their teams no longer needed them. It is good to see the domestiques. as well. Congratulations to all these folks on an impressive career, no matter the wins. Cycling is a team sport, and it’s the ones we don’t see much of that allow the leaders to stand out and win the accolades.
- Biestrebos is a real sprinting talent. Initially it was thought that he'd be a classics domestíque but his sprinting has improved dramatically over the course of the year.
He's the only thing going well with Picnic now and for that reason it is likely that he'll leave
- well this one definitely makes my STUPIDEST ARTICLES OF 2026 list. chapeau…
- Cyclocross is nothing without stars like MVDP, WVA, Pidcock... etc. Out of all cycling disciplines, road racing is the most popular discipline in professional cycling, especially in terms of global prestige, major-event audiences, and the historical status of its greatest riders. People that don't follow cycling as a sport have heard of Merckx, Hinault, Pantani, Armstrong, Remco, Vingegaard, MvDP, Van Aert, Pogačar etc.
So if we're talking about professional cycling and the sport's most famous athletes, road racing is the clear number one. Road cycling's greatest champions are judged across such a wide scale. E.g. - Pogačar can win the Tour de France and then go after Paris–Roubaix and other prestigious one day races. These races also have a wide range of versatility: cobbles, gravel, punchy, hilly, TT. This versatility is a huge part of why road racing is No.1 in cycling. Maybe Sven Nys is a dutch cycling "legend"... but that's where it starts and ends. Ad acta.
- “at some point those guys will turn their backs on OUR sport”? after dedicating so much of their lives to cyclocross and in mathieu’s case winning more world championships than anyone, it would seem to me like they’ve earned the right for it to be always be THEIR sport, too, even after they retire from it.
- It takes two to tango. Riders also have a say. Maybe they didn't see any opportunities on a stacked team such as Visma's? Who knows, but could be a multitude of reasons why deals fall through.
- Eventually Pogi will get older and slower. Father Time will favor the young. The question is whether he can beat Pogi before Pogi decides to retire. You never know... Pogi may retire after winning paris-roubaix :)
