  Monotonous? Boring? Pundit? WTF?

  What a backwards step for this team. First the signing of Ayuso and now every chance of Derek Gee.

  and also let’s hope he doesn’t have a wife that goes off on the team and riders.

  with all due respect to Welsford, what has he won to deserve the title “ace”. he is there in many sprints, but other than some nationals and maybe a 3rd tier race, he isn’t exactly a feared sprinter in the peloton. of course with the right team he could become a winner, but is Ineos the right team? Unlike a Quick-Step, Ineos is not exactly sprinter friendly. they don’t have a track record of developing winners at sprinting.

  Let's hope that he doesn't throw his tantrums on his teammates at Visma.

  Hopefully it's for more money than his previous year. That said, he also knows that 2 even younger riders with a potentially higher ceiling could replace him. So he's still fortunate to be part of a team that wins.

  No mention to their best cyclist? Paul Magnier. Save my words.

  Surprising to write an article on future of Soudal and not even mention Paul Magnier who had a superlative year in 2025. Looking forward to seeing him progress in 2026.

  Overall, the level has gone up amongst the top 3 or 4 teams... Except for Ineos, the level has gone down.

  So long as Tadej doesn't turn into a raging Cav or Wiggins, status quo will prevail.
