  I would prefer him to do the Giro and Vuelta, and leave Seixas, Remco and Jonas to fight it out in France. Btw 'redemption' implies he has disappointed us and has something to prove. I don't think he has anything to prove, but of course ticking off the Vuelta would be good. Pity he can't get a 'prior learning credit' for the first week in the Vuelta, and join in for the last two weeks!

  Bet you 90% of Slovenians will stop watching cycling once your boy stops. But. More pertinently, have you prepared for his retirement? I think you have extreme difficulties in understanding the difference between being a fan of cycling and being fan of a cyclist.

  I would keep a VERY open mind.

  Listen, maybe he did, maybe it’s more complicated but unless there are images* or witnesses, I wouldn’t go on stats alone. There are so many factors, terrain, wind, pacing, psychological/hormonal effects, etc. and that’s without consideration of Remco maybe changing his effort. As a rider I know all too well the effect of being overtaken can have, just like it’s always easier to push yourself when you are racing instead of training where you have no target to catch or pressure from behind. * obviously there is going to be a lack of commissaires in TTs to keep a constant eye on things but hey it’s 2026, these problems can be solved cheaply with on-board cameras or drones, they could even increase revenue and attractiveness through broadcasting right.

  Do you watch dog racing too? Do you remember what Einstein said about madness? What are you watching specifically, the way his ass moves over the saddle more efficiently? You should really ask yourself some psychological questions if what you enjoy is watching someone do exactly the same as all the others only slightly faster some of the time but not in any way noticeably without the immediate proximity of competitors. Would you watch time trials if no results or times were taken? You should really think about the real reasons why you enjoy watching someone much more than others (or why you can’t enjoy watching others doing the same). If you would argue it was for other reasons than simply wanting to watch the best (and I’m pretty sure you don’t watch e.g. cyclocross or kayaking because you want to dictate a hierarchy in sport) I would have more understanding (nothing else) for your choices (nationalism, ego, prediction talents, etc.)

  In theory you’re right but sometimes news is sparse or not funny or the discussion rather limited or predictable so a little lighthearted mocking can be a welcome distraction. Also, it doesn’t hurt to attract to agendareers and schemers.

  A suggestion to commentators, prepare to include interesting unrelated material when there’s little to report on. This is why the TdF grew an audience, it attracted more than hardcore cycling fans or fans of particular riders who’d find it interesting to hear or even discuss their choice of toilet paper at home. If you can’t keep viewers’ attention with surroundings, history, tourist information, etc. there’s always, highlights, best of past races, betting odds, international newsflashes, weather forecasts, etc. or the suggestion to go make a cup of tea. In fact, maybe the whole idea of one long live broadcast is the problem, a general sports update during the race would probably interest many, like the format in football where they flip across matches where goals or interesting events happen. Can’t see the point of comparing watching a guy turning his pedals in a constant fashion on an empty road with one hitting a tennis ball in a different strategic place each time or moving around a football field in an infinite number of unpredictable combinations wrt teammates and opponents every minute.

  What a stupid comment. If they are as good and if not better why should they sit on seasoned pros wheels. Sexias is a prime example . Move with the times they are fitter and more hungry and more ambition. If you cannot abide being 2nd string find a new profession.
