This is something which wasn't there at UAE. There, when Ayuso struggled, he was on his own against the media. To see his teammates at Lidl-Trek defending him shows how much more human the environment there is. At UAE his teammates even publicly criticised him (most notably Mr. Florian 'Gossipboy' Vermeersch), including João Almeida. For that reason, the fact that Skjelmose was the one who told Ayuso to ease up is very significant. It makes me wonder that if the UAE environment was not so harsh, maybe they'd have been able to manage him. And with Isaac del Toro in a vulnerable situation, if UAE don't fix themselves they could lose him too.12:24

Perhaps it's just his inexperienced nature or the fact that he's French, but young Mr. Seixas sounds like the arrogant type. Usually when people need to say "he's incredibly humble and down to earth" the person in question is on the arrogant side. There’s no need to point it out for humble people09-04-2026 20:05

Seixas looks to be (almost, if not equal already) at the level of Vingegaard, meaning a transfer to UAE is not likely. And let's ignore the fact that there's something smelling festina about all this08-04-2026 09:50

One of the few times where I agree with Horner. And not only for van der Poel, Evenepoel, van Aert and Pedersen to let Pogačar go. They should have stayed with the peloton with 60 km to go and used their domestíques to pull. Perhaps Pogačar would've turned the race into a long race solo, or he'd have run out of energy and been caught. Yes such tactics sacrifice podiums but they make the chance of a win higher.08-04-2026 09:47

If they did that then the peloton would know who's boss. There is no longer a patron of the peloton. Or maybe there is one, and not one, several, because when Pogačar and Evenepoel break the rules, requiring disqualification, the UCI chickens away07-04-2026 14:47

Hindley is in a similar position to where Yates was, and I wouldn't be surprised if Visma turned him into a Grand Tour winner. Red Bull also wouldn't lose too much, because it would make the liklihood of one of their bigger leaders (Evenepoel, Lipowitz, Pellizzari)07-04-2026 11:38

Your point proves my longstanding point about comparisons before retirement. Huge talents like Pogačar break in very quickly because they are just that good. But when Pogačar is declining he'll race many more monuments and not win06-04-2026 21:14
