just a boneheaded move to watch yates ride away in that initial 100m of his attack. it wasn’t that blistering. Del Toro and Carapaz just watched with no response.

Health comes first on every occasion, for the sport this is disappointing I can't imagine how disappointing is for Eli. Wish him all the best.

Starting all 3 vs finishing all 3, which makes what Sepp Kuss did in 2023 very impressive.

It'd be good to see these back on the Classics 👍

it will be interesting to see his results when he steps into the bigger races. 19 wins, but so many in the fall in mid level races. still the mid races need to be won to step up to the biggies.

Looks like his poor health just stomped on the rear mech of his cycling career.

she is so good. even her results from 2025, which were “bad”, would be a career year for most riders. and consider at MSR, for example, her teammate won - perhaps Lotte could have won it. wishing her the best for 2026!
