- History books won't care who had good legs or bad legs, or who did or didn't get laid last night; what the history books say is that Del Toro and Remco are two losers, while Seixas is a Monument winner at the age of 20.
Let's not forget who was the only one that could follow Pogi in Strade Bianche. Paul Seixas, not Del Toro. Ad acta!!!

- Del Toro has a knee injury.
- UAE doesn't exist without Pogačar, and when all is said and done, that’s exactly what it looks like today. DelToro had two chances, golden opportunities and showed that he isn't the one, even though Tadej keeps pushing him to the forefront. He simply doesn't have it in him.
Seixas has a Monument at age 20, while Del Toro has nothing... an empty trophy cabinet when it comes to the races that actually matter. Everything else is just empty talk. A single San Remo or a single PR or Flanders means more to Pogačar than six Montreals, 10 UAE Tours or 15 Tireno wins combined. Bravo Seixas, your the man to watch.
- Remcos ego got between the line and success
- Well, that is a good point but probably no one. Seixas might be close. We will see in the next two to three years.
- Things do need to change. Everyone, journalists in particular need to hold the UCI’s feet to the fire and bring about real change so this isn’t repeated!
- There is one common denominator in all of these situations, the UCI. If the race organisers ignore the recommendations of SafeR or they fall below the standards expected or a reasonably competent race organisation by allowing vehicles onto the course and endangering riders lives then surely the one organisation that can exercise sanctions is the UCI. It seems that the UCI big wigs are very happy to drink champagne in the VIP enclosures and bask in the glory of these events but are a toothless tiger when things go wrong. How many Finley Tarling or Muriel Furrer incidents does the sport have to endure until the UCI starts acting? I have to say that it’s encouraging the riders have made a protest and full marks to Adam Hansen for his endeavours, it can’t be easy trying kick such an intransigent organisation to actually do something more useful that legislate on sock lengths and handlebar widths!
- Oh come on!
- I left a comment after Pidcock nearly stopped racing the other day but cyclinguptodate either terminated the article or archived it. Basically what I said was that cycling journalists need to keep following up on these type of situations and constantly asking the UCI and organisers what they are doing on the back of these protests. It’s not just a test of the regulators and the organisers but a test of how independent you journalists are. Is it just that you don’t want to rock the boat too much or are you prepared to push these things through and hold people to account? Time will tell.
