I genuinely think it’ll be decided between Del Toro and Seixas.08:32

The Giro where Almeida showed Remco he was the true leader was iconic. But in all fairness to Remco, he never should have raced that Giro, he’d barely recovered from his tragic ravine crash, and media’s pressure for him to race undoubtedly played a huge part in the decision, from his team and sponsors.07:59

Agreed. Not least of which he had to miss the Tour de Suisse due to a viral infection, that ravine fall in Catalunya was brutal; it’s hard to imagine him returning to top form after only eight weeks. I’d love to be wrong, but I can’t imagine an outstanding performing in this.20-06-2026 13:51

While everyone is entitled to their own perspective, we lack the necessary information regarding the severity of Wout’s injury and subsequent infection. It is impossible to form an informed opinion without knowing the full facts. The details of the injury and medical management are irrelevant, the bottom line is that I, as I am sure the majority of cycling fans will agree with, am gutted WvA will miss the Tour. That’s really all there is to it.20-06-2026 12:20

It is indeed, @KerisVroom. In fact, it was a feat achieved by Merckx and Hinault 1969, 71, 72 and 79 between them. It was exactly these achievements which caused the organisers to tweek the points system to favour pure sprinters.19-06-2026 16:53

A brilliant and long overdue decision. While I love the drama of the GC battles in the mountains, it’s been concerning to watch the points classification drift away from its traditional identity as the ‘sprinter’s jersey.’ It’s important to celebrate these distinct cycling styles and physical profiles for what they are. I’m all for it, and personally, would love to see Magnier win it overall for his home country, and tour, either as a surprise edition this year (praying to the cycling Gods), or in future editions.19-06-2026 16:30

I find it perplexing when people go public with opinions like this. It is difficult to justify the narrative that an athlete’s dominance somehow constitutes a systemic issue for their sport, and in this case, the ruining of a race. While I admit that long range 70-odd-k solo breaks can sometimes dampen the suspense of a race, that is a critique of the competition, not Tadej. I don't hold his dominance against him. Do I find the race a bit boring? Sure, a little bit. Do I dislike Tadej for it? Not at all. Tadej is great for the sport, and has arguably helped to generate more interest in our sport since 2021 than we’ve seen in last century combined. What I cannot abide, however, is the faction of toxic supporters who use their fandom as a platform for harassment. These individuals, who routinely disparage and disrespect Tadej’s competitors, do not represent our cycling community. I make a conscious effort to separate them from Tadej; their opinions are of no reflection on him, and he has actively spoken out against them. Ultimately, their hostility is a poor reflection of the sport we love, not the athlete they claim to admire.19-06-2026 15:50
