  The UCI can't let him go - if they do, they'll have lost the battle they started. As a weak organisation they can't afford to lose any dispute. Patrick Lefevere complained about how Red Bull had stolen Evenepoel but the UCI were chicken; with van Schip they are just trying to show they have some authority. If UAE or Red Bull (for whatever reason) stepped in for him it'd be over

  Follow the attack and get in the moto draft with him?? Can't do it, can ya?

  How ironic. You're actually the whiner here complaining about pro riders whining when they weren't actually whining... Luke Plapp was in the peloton and BENEFITED from the moto draft! Your manufactured outrage is hilarious! How about you calm down and actually read the article first.

  I guess cycling fans can only hope for a dominant Jonas at the giro followed by strong first mountain stages at the tour from him. We will see …

  Oh I agree. I suppose the mitigating factor in all that is even if he did DNF, it wouldn't have a huge effect on his career prospects. If he does well he'll be a wunderkind, and if he flops then people will say "he wasn't ready" - but I don't think anyone will blame him or write him off.

  Off topic: A monument honoring Belgian cycling legend Eddy Merckx was vandalized in the Brussels municipality of Woluwe-Saint-Pierre, with the head of the statue torn off, as reported on May 6, 2026. As far as I'm concerned, it's sad and I call it a senseless attack on a sporting icon. But nevertheless, maybe there is someone who doesn't like those who dope to win bike races (Merckx 3X). Just saying.

  Stop your foolish yapping and don't comment if you have problems with your grey brain cells. Pogi is being attacked from all sides: motorbike drafts... he's doping... he's a bully... he's like Armstrong... he's greedy... etc. etc. The media from "cycling countries" like the French, Belgians, Danish and Dutch... are showing an envious resentment towards Pogi and his achievements on the bike. Some fvckers just can't take it... but that's their problem.

  expectations, pressure those things he can deal with. But in other i have to differ. football is a 45 minute halves with rest days. Basketball is a 12 minute quarters. Michael Owen and Kobe have done it successfully but even there a lots of kids have failed. A GT is 4+ hours grueling race over 21 days with a couple of rest days. The TDF is the most intensive GT. Everyday there will be crashes. tremendous pressure to remain in the front. THese things are absent in football basketball, they can be substituted out, they can play for only the minutes they want, but not in a GT, you can only quit.

  Omfg. Didn’t realize more and more pro cyclists are a bunch of f’ing whiners.
