Tour des Alpes Maritimes et du Var

- I'm sure money has already changed hands (or at least instalments), as the team needs the money upfront to be able to operate.
- she had a great season and 2 or 3 bad days. the world championship was perhaps a reflection of Dutch incompetence as much as her own. which has been seen in the Olympics and other races too. The entire women's peloton did the same thing in Omloop.
As for the TdF, she just got beat by a better prepared rider.
- it was a great race, but it is still also so fun to see MVDP's mastery and see if WVA is up to speed to give him competition.
- his attitude is so great - there are loads of races to win from January to October, and if you're winning, they're not going to leave you at home.
no reason for a rider to get upset about not getting this race or that, there are plenty to go around, and if you win the small ones you will start to get the big ones.
- There could be some provisions/clauses in the contract to allow an early exit. Or the two parties could come to an agreement for an exit. Another option is that PT will remove its brand from the jersey but keep funding the team as per T&Cs of the contract. Time will tell!
- Jonas is older than Tadej. he should decline first.
- It will be very interesting to see it Premier Tech can just walk away from sponsorship of Sylvan Adams team without any financial repercussion or obligation, as a contract has likely been broken. I don't know the details of how cycling team sponsorship works, but Premier Tech may not be in a position to be able to start sponsoring a new team if they are technically still a sponsor of Adams team in 2026.
- I know some young aspiring pros and semi pro women. While focusing on cycling most of them are also studying to have back up careers as cycling is not yet a viable choice for most. Reports from national training camps. Most of the young guys - fully dedicated to cycling. Most of the young women - working part time jobs or studying.
Scratch a female cyclist and you are much more likely to find a PhD, MD, business degree etc. than an equivalent age male cyclist. The good side of this is they can transition easily to other stuff rather than becoming cranky old cycling farts (see Roger de Vlaeminck story)
- There has to be a gap as the womans peleton do not even race half the distance of the males peleton . Would you pay people in the workplace the same wages if one half did half the work. Food for thought. Tin hat at the ready awaiting constructive criticism 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰
- I wish for the numbers for everyone to go up but I sincerely hope that there will always be a gap
