I just simply don't believe team orders were at fault. In what world would a pink jersey leader knowingly throw away their lead just to follow team orders? Del Toro surely knew the gap to Yates was growing and he was going to lose his lead. So either Del Toro didn't have the legs or he was stupid and listened to alleged team orders to only follow Carapaz. It simply does not make sense - I mean even if the team orders were true, Del Toro shouldn't take it literally e.g. if Carapaz crashed and all the other top ten riders went 3mins up the road, would Del Toro really be stupid enough to "follow team orders" and stick with Carapaz? This is an exaggerated example, but it is exactly what Del Toro did with Yates. Del Toro only has himself to blame - if someone is threatening your lead, you chase, it shouldn't take team orders to tell you to do that!05-06-2025 02:41

As an Aussie residing in Melbourne, it would be incredible to have Pogacar, Vingegaard, Roglic, Evenepoel, etc. time trialling down Beach Road (and claiming all the KOMs along the way), and up the Dandenongs and the three peaks... but come on, let's be realistic here! The logistics and expenses would make it way too hard and the audience/market in Australia is small (only one of my colleagues cycles to work in a workplace with hundreds of staff and the vast majority of Aussies simply do not care about cycling, let alone any grand tours). If anything, the organisers might do better to take it to the States if they want a bigger audience / increase viewership.15-05-2025 14:48

You don't even know what happened and you're somehow claiming the justice system got it wrong? On what grounds exactly are you making such claims? There was clear CCTV footage of the incident. It was a tragic accident caused by a heated argument (about kitchen cabinets believe it or not...) with Rohan wanting to leave the situation to cool off. There are two children to think about too - throwing the dad in jail for an accident is not the right way to handle this situation. Moreover, for the rest of his life, Rohan will know that his children will always have the thought in the back of their minds that "daddy killed mummy" - I think that is way worse than a few years in jail.15-05-2025 14:22

It's pretty obvious they didn't notice the step and stumbled down. It's clear because there are other spectators sitting on the step and the stumbler was looking at the peloton and not where they were stepping.08-05-2025 02:34

It's irrelevant whether the riders will oppose safety measures or not. The UCI have demonstrated time and again that they don't care what the riders think. The UCI will implement whatever they want (which based on recent history, has nothing related to rider safety anyway). Also, it's not like the riders have a vote anyway, so it's a hilarious and irrelevant point that you are making.03-05-2025 16:11

Why the random and unnecessary disrespect to Cadel? At least he didn't cheat like Contador.16-04-2025 09:28

According to Tadej's Strava upload, he went up the Cipressa at an average speed of 37.6kph. Rocket ship! He did the 5.63km verified 'Cipressa' Strava segment in 8:59 minutes, which has a 4.3% average grade and total elevation gain of 229m. Naturally, he got the Strava KOM.23-03-2025 08:01

I haven't been watching cycling for very long but I feel like we are in a golden age with Pogacar, Vingegaard, Roglic, Evenepoel, Pidcock, van der Poel, van Aert (I'm definitely forgetting a lot of other riders)... My point is, we should be celebrating their differences because that is what makes it a golden age for me.11-03-2025 03:47
