The report was right.. Wout asked Tadej for a bottle for his son, and Tadej obliged by giving the boy his sunglasses.27-08-2026 03:15

Primoz is the only other rider, aside from Jonas, to have beaten Tadej in a grand tour, and it is no surprise that we find him sitting 2nd on GC this early. He is a 4-time Vuelta winner, and if there is anyone who can pull a surprise here, I believe it is him. That is admittedly farfetched though, considering Tadej's current form, and his own penchant for losing control of the bike on difficult terrain.26-08-2026 05:26

I remember one of the favorites saying in an interview, that if he sees Tadej begin to attack, he would not even bother to follow. Maybe that is the prevailing mindset in the peloton, the reason why Tadej is able to get away 50km from the finish. This only happens in 1-day races, not in a grand tour.26-08-2026 04:28

When you win by cheating, that is not considered a legitimate win, and therefore counts for nothing. It is not an honorable achievement by any standard.. you can erase LA's name from the record books and nobody will care. Except perhaps to a few people who value cheating as a human virtue to be emulated.25-08-2026 20:52

Yeah.. Too technical, or too short maybe? too early for sour-graping, IMO.. it's only a prologue..23-08-2026 05:09

Video footage of the incident is unclear, but apparently Gery was acting as leadout for Demi, with Kasia on Demi's wheel. At a steep uphill turn, Gery then slowed down and moved to the side to let Demi through, but in the process, blocked Kasia who reacted to Demi's attack, but had to avoid Gery, thereby losing momentum. FDJ's DS Lars Boom confirmed that what happened was his specific instructions to Gery, " to stay in Vollering’s wheel until after the turn and then drop away quietly"..10-08-2026 12:53

I disagree 100%.. He didn't say anything novel or intelligent.. it was just clickbait. Every cycling fan knows the value of aerodynamics in TTs. The comments here shows that most fans only perused the article just to express their disgust for being reminded of the way he destroyed cycling. He will forever be the symbol of cycling's inglorious past.05-08-2026 22:45

What did Seixas say to Tadej at the finish? He said "You're insane. You can be my domestique anytime you need a ride in my era.."27-07-2026 04:00

That is why we are mere armchair pundits.. we don't really know cycling, and yet we delight in cursing the heroes who risk their lives to give us viewing pleasure, or even accuse them of doping when they overdo it.27-07-2026 03:30

As the great British mountaineer George Mallory once said, when asked why he wanted to climb Mount Everest, "because it's there..", it means people respond to challenges. Record keepers like records.. record makers like challenges. Tadej calls it goals. It's personal.27-07-2026 00:49
