- What about Almeida? I know he barely competed this year. His time trial was the best of the rest. For a guy who lack a little on technique showed a lot of power. I'll count on him.

- I'm glad no one got hurt. That was wild.DAS24-08-2026
- What's the name they used to call Hinault when he controlled the peloton? The patron? I don't think this is the same thing. Watching that was just crazy.RidesHills24-08-2026
- Did you? Try to be logical. Cycling fans are unlikely to (have) watch(ed) but then they were not the intended audience because they were ALREADY captive. Anyone else had little idea what to expect and was already watching by the time it was too late to realise they might have preferred not to, although, knowing what is popular these days, I doubt many actually reflect or care but just end up continuing to watch. I expect that 10000 will start rising now as anything or discussed tends to do. I can also assure you from observing roadside crowds on climbs that there are huge numbers of spectators who are not actually cycling fans, they just wanna part of it when the circus comes to town. In fact, even in France, the majority along the way are more interested in the caravan than the race and may know 15 riders at best, mostly French.Jumpyjohn24-08-2026
- Tomorrow is clearly a stage to stamp a win to this year's race. Pogi can realistically get a strong foundation lead and it very well could carry all the way to the end. Look what happened at the Tour when he hammered the race early and then almost got to coast to the win. Keep in mind that the riders in this race aren't the caliber of the TDF so...he could have an even better lead.md197524-08-2026
- It was a massive error on behalf of the Vuelta organization to give that idiotic woman access to the riders. They really should be making a public apology, although they will not, and she should be sent packing immediately.
santiagobenites24-08-2026 - The scourge of Social Media, some of these influencers are dangerous. shame on the Vuelta for giving her the platform.slappers6624-08-2026
- Was it in 2021 that Pogačar raced some mountains with rim brakes, and other stages with discs? I'd very much say that disc brakes have won races, with faster racing because of the aerodynamics, wider tires, new wheels, and stronger and later braking (on, say, descents). It wasn't just manufacturers that pushed discs onto the peloton.RidesHills24-08-2026
- Wow, I only just saw this. It's crazy that in this day and age, we have quite literally the most incredible cyclist of all time being hassled by some nobody influencer who thinks they are the centre of the universe and that everyone should know who she is. This influencer will have their 15 minutes of fame. Pogacar will have a legacy.Pogboom24-08-2026
