Prioritizing the Tour de France over the Giro remains the industry standard. Aside from those rare years when heavy hitters attempt the trio, or the elusive Triple Crown, this hierarchy is the norm. Jonas does not deserve to be described as ‘second team’ status, however. For the last 5 years, he’s been on the Tour podium, and won 2 of those. His riding style is different to what we’re used to with Tadej, I fully anticipate him to take the Pink jersey, with ease, in the mountains.13-05-2026 20:29

I feel bad saying this, he is exciting to watch, but yes - I can see where you’re coming from @Rafionain-Glas.11-05-2026 20:34

That’s a fair point. Whilst I can’t say I’ve personally picked up on that in his post-race interviews, I would agree with you when you say he isn’t humble. My feelings right now are that he is confident, and exudes that almost naive willingness to take risks that you often see in young talent. I read an interview at the start of the season where he said he kept himself away from family and friends all summer so he could focus on the 26’ season. Whilst his dedication is admirable, I’d be lying if I said a small part of me didn’t feel that was marginally arrogant, at least not yet justified for someone so young and his potential yet unknown.11-05-2026 20:30

Agreed. Magnier was in peak form during the Tour of Poland; the T-Rex kit made his dominance look even more intimidating. They’re very different personalities but what makes you say Seixas isn’t as likeable?11-05-2026 19:03

There is something uniquely captivating about watching Magnier’s rise. It isn’t just the tactical brilliance he shows against some of the world’s best sprinters, but the fact that such a young athlete, growing into a formidable one at that, remains so remarkably humble. You can’t help but root for him. The day he competes at the TdF, and Seixas for GC, will be such a monumental year for the French, and I couldn’t be more thrilled for them.10-05-2026 21:32

I second this. Pretty phenomenal moment. 24 years old, first Giro and not only a stage win, but the pink jersey, and a first grand tour stage win for Uruguay. That raw vulnerability in the post-race interview is exactly why people fall in love with the Giro.10-05-2026 13:36
