It would be great if the World Champion's jersey could be rotated among McNulty, Simmons, and Jorgenson. They threaded the needle perfectly. If each hadn't done exactly what he did, exactly when he did it, the race would have gone to one of the more heralded superstars. That said, how nice that this humble and hardworking guy gets his moment in the sun.07-11-2026 15:57

He seems to be the rare athlete whose passion and curiosity about life beyond his sport equals his extraordinary achievements in it. It would be great for him to risk less of that life. He seems very grateful and joyful for what he has already attained.06-11-2026 16:57

It surprises me that anyone still believes any professional (or amateur!) sport is clean--much less wants it to be. The best you can hope for is a reasonably level playing field that doesn't expose young, ambitious athletes to health risks they don't understand. In that regard, World Tour cycling appears to do a better job than almost any sport with independent, random testing. There are certainly fewer mysterious midnight "heart attacks" these days. If you want to see what an uneven playing field looks like, show up to masters nationals. It is also certainly the case that no major pharmaceutical corporation has developed a multi-billion dollar miracle drug just to give it only to one or two anointed ectomorphs in a minor non-revenue sport. If you don't like that all sports run on PEDs these days and you can't be bothered to contribute as a tester, a federation official, or pharmaceutical representative, then just turn off the TV and play outside.18-10-2026 15:53

It's missing things a bit to ignore the fact that Jorgensen covered 13 attacks behind McNulty. If he had jumped onto only 12, McNulty would have been caught and dropped. And Jorgensen was selective: he only covered moves that had a guy stronger/faster than McNulty. It was brilliant tactics and extreme self-sacrifice from 3 Americans a half-step below the level of the superstars that won this race.29-09-2026 05:36

I love them both, for very different reasons. It's nice that we have both without having to choose one. Though I have to say that it was odd there was an extra presentation model on the stage for the podiums, until it turned out it was director Marion Rousse.11-08-2026 20:30

Very humble and charming cameo. I love that he is focused on living his life joyfully, on his own terms, rather than leaning into legend. Plenty of people have been twisted by stardom.11-08-2026 16:55

A race--or a career--can end in an instant for Pogacar the same as any of these other guys. On the same corner that took out Lipowicz, Pogačar had his back wheel in the air and his front just centimeters from the curb. He is inevitable and unstoppable until he isn't. I hope this generation of superstars races as long as they want and move on when the risk outweighs the joy.08-08-2026 17:08
