But this thread started when someone was pointing at Tadej for not just walking off the Tour de Suisse to put his family first. And the media often commend Jonas for putting family first. Maybe no need for any outrage at all.23-06-2026 16:47

He cannot just drop out of a race, he must get permission. Gianetti seemed to be afraid that Tadej would want that permission, so went to see Urska to reassure him. In 2022 he dropped out of LBL to support Urska when her mother died. In 2024 he got permission to go to his grandfather's funeral while preparing for the Tour. But indeed, this should not be a competition.22-06-2026 12:53

Kasia Niewiedoma said she rode the final Suisse stage with exactly that aim, to prepare for the Tour, even though in her case she could not win the stage. But hopefully there won't be such a heatwave during the Tour! It really cannot be healthy.22-06-2026 08:22

And the way he tossed his bottle aside in disgust before heaving himself out of the hotseat was classic. Surprised the UCI didn't also get him for littering!21-06-2026 07:50

If you look back, though, there was a feeling that Pog's team for the 2024 Giro would be too weak. Some media also analysed whether Pog could beat an in-form Ganna in the time trial (and calculated that he would just make it, due to the steepness of the hill). It's only in hindsight that everything seems cut and dried.06-06-2026 06:50

Also Tim Heemskerk left abruptly in February. What's going on beneath the placid surface at Visma?02-06-2026 07:44
