There should be a survey of TV ratings as well as the size of crowds at cycling events, ever since Pogacar burst onto the scene - especially for those races in which he is participating. That would give you the correct picture.11-07-2026 10:49

Wishing Torsten a speedy recovery. Whatever else happens in his career, he will always remain a Yellow Jersey wearer.10-07-2026 04:52

This may work at the WC, where the climbs are punchy but not too long. I doubt if it will work at the three week Tour with multiple HC and Cat 1 climbs, especially with the presence of other heavy hitters like Jonas and Seixas.29-06-2026 07:43

Firstly, no athlete whatever his past record can be called a lock in professional sport (just ask Mike Tyson)! Having said that, Pog certainly is a prohibitive favorite considering his feats this year, though he has not gone head to head with Jonas - presumably his closest challenger. It is also likely that the heat wave will be a factor, and the one who can manage his engine without blowing up the radiator will probably win.26-06-2026 08:16

The organisers should rig up sprinklers along the route for riders to cool off.24-06-2026 18:09

The problem is that Pog is no longer the same rider he was before 2024. Then he was all raw talent, but did not pay close attention to things like nutrition and heat/core training; now he has reached a level which no one can consistently match.24-06-2026 17:21

If he can beat Pog's Coll de Rates KOM, then I will also take notice.03-06-2026 07:20
