I think Simmons could have won if you look at his performances on stage 15. A little too shallow for Kuss, I would say. When they predict Tadej Pogačar to win it is usually quite accurate (not a very big feat, that). When they predict others it is harder but occasionally they get it right23-07-2026 21:42

Proper breakaway specialists will say we haven't had real breakaway stages. Pedersen on stage 4, van der Poel on stage 9 and Philipsen on stage 17... not exactly the usual escapees. Even Schmid on stage 13 - he's a top tier rider and if you look at his successes elsewhere, it's far beyond what most breakaway riders can even imagine22-07-2026 19:23

On the matter of how Remco said "You have to understand that I'm racing against the best rider ever", Robbie McEwan said that Pogačar'll try to win in order to say "It's nice to beat the best rider ever"21-07-2026 13:40

Maybe Pogačar didn't go all out in the sprint bit if he thought he could have had won he'd have gone for it. Remco won by two bike lengths so to cone round that would've taken alot. Pulling for 7 km at that pace does take a lot out of anyone.20-07-2026 21:33

1: Armstrong, shut up 2: The problem with the comparison is that they don't test Messi anyway.20-07-2026 17:02

The intermediate sprints in the final week tend to be after some harder climbs which isn't great for Philipsen20-07-2026 16:38

I'd say as hid last race it is unlikely but imminent retirement is quite possible20-07-2026 02:57

You're probably the only one. There was no way that Pogačar would have intentionally passed up a chance to win. He looked easy because he couldn't really sprint after the work he'd done.20-07-2026 02:08

The title portrays it as though he sacrificed his own safety for Pogačar. In reality, had he hit Pogačar, they'd both have crashed, so for Torito to crash on his own was the obvious decision to make.20-07-2026 01:38

He didn't feel right winning so worked for del Toro. But Remco was just too strong and Pogačar didn't have anything left when Torito failed19-07-2026 21:41
