- I would have said he sounds a bit too confident for somebody who is just learning his ways at the WT. Overconfidence is not appreciated at all here in Uruguay. But then, he went and won stage 2 and got in pink. The one who should be less confident about his own opinions is me, obviously.mvd4ex10-05-2026
- Speaking of race directors.what is wrong with them allowing the idiot fans who light smoke bombs and cause the riders to breath that poison in while climbing a hill ?captmike09-05-2026
- Agreed. Also it's certainly not common for the breakout star of the Giro (or any GT) to practically announce that they want to be the breakout rider of the race before it starts. Silva can probably hold on to the jersey until the Blockhaus if he doesn't crash. That'd be a crazy run.
Rafionain-Glas09-05-2026 - Trust me, commenters on strava are worse. If Mou gives a long winded slightly humourous and not super serious comment, strava commenters will be cutting, sarcastic and certainly high and mightyRafionain-Glas09-05-2026
- It's not really the GC riders who are the problem, nor the sprinters. It's the workhorses - they barge each other more, and are also more likely to crash as they have wider shoulders. As they are at the front, crashes are worse as they block everyone. They decide the pace, and most of the time they cause the crashRafionain-Glas09-05-2026
- This is Uruguay's first ever win at a GT, (or any WT race). Silva is only the fourth Uruguayan ever to start a GT. The country has a long cycling tradition (the Vuelta del Uruguay was first raced in 1939) but cyclists are mostly amateur and rarely compete internationally. Silva is the first one in a WT team and there is only one other UY cyclist at the European pro level. For a country with less than 4 million people and religiously devoted to football, this is huge. Well, for us cycling fans it is anyway.mvd4ex09-05-2026
- Stupid comment. Be the change you want to see in the peloton. Touch your brakes and enter the climb in 120th position. It's easy to speak and do nothing, everyone can do thatvampa09-05-2026
- Which riders are annoyed?Rafionain-Glas09-05-2026
- There's plenty of Vuelta Femenina coverage here! I've seen stage reports daily, quotes, all that kind of stuffVinnySport09-05-2026
- Disagreed. It‘s not like he can‘t video call his family x times every day to tell them that he is alright. However, every time a motocamera approaches him, he in your face tells the whole world how important his family is to him. We got the message Jonas, and your family probably also… I am personally quite annoyed by it. And it seems others perceive it in the same manner. But ok, if you feel you need to show the world on every race day that you care about your family … go ahead.MehrBums09-05-2026
