Yeah.. Too technical, or too short maybe? too early for sour-graping, IMO.. it's only a prologue..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

IDT could have given Remco a good fight for 2nd (after Jonas' DNF) if he wasn't doing domestique duties for Tadej. He sacrificed personal results for team tactics towards Tadej's 5th TDF, and Tadej and the UAE team, in recognition of his unselfish effort, helped him get the podium and Young Rider plums in return. That's teamwork.26-07-2026 10:06

Let's take it from the man himself. Tadej, in an interview with Velo News, heaped praises on Jonas, saying that he was impressed with his strength on the final climb, and even saying that he is wary that Jonas might even drop him at Alpe D'Huez, that he was that good. Tadej's confidence is there, but he knows he can not afford to be overconfident.19-07-2026 06:57

Hard to make sense of this kind of behavior from fans. Imagine Usain Bolt getting boos instead of applause after another record-breaking run, or Roger Federer winning Wimbledon for the nth time, or Messi winning the Bol'D Or n consecutive times, and fans greeting their achievements with boos instead of cheers. Is this the Lance Armstrong Effect, or the Paul Seixas Effect? When Steffi Graf was dominating women's tennis, then Monica Seles came along and broke her dominance, a crazed German fan jumped the barriers and stabbed her in the back, effectively ending her outstanding career. These athletes are outstanding specimens of mankind, they perform heroic deeds for our viewing delight. But stupidity lurks everywhere, and sports rely on spectators for patronage, so you learn to take the good with the bad. Such a shame.15-07-2026 10:17

At last we see the name of the great MVDP mentioned in the news.. How can this guy perform when he himself says he finds it boring? He already knows he can't win before the race even started. So disappointing, for someone who's always in the conversation when talking about great cyclists. Good advice though.. great riders race to win, or stay at home.. For me, he's very good.. but is somewhat like a spoiled brat (rides around in a Lambo, flies to races in his own jet..) Just kidding.. he's okay..11-07-2026 05:33
