I have no expectations for Seixas in this years Tour. I hope he takes his time and learns for future Tours, maybe he can light up some climbs.02:44

I have to agree with you. We are lucky to have someone like Tadej to watch. This year will see Jonas return probably with a closer result than in the last two years, potentially, but I figure Tadej is 2% to 3% better than Jonas still, and he's two years younger than Jonas. Tadej catches hate from people, it's a joke sometimes.05-06-2026 22:21

He is great but he is young. I don't think he's developed enough to get through the Tour without a few really bad days. But he's got to learn, if he finishes within the top five I would be amazed and that would be a solid result for such a young guy in his first grand tour. He has the goods, he needs to take his time and develop.01-06-2026 16:33

I've said he has looked really good all year, maybe more so from a mental perspective since that bad crash a few years ago. The Giro is different from the Tour, in some ways the climbing is harder than the Tour but the Tour is faster the heat is stifling. I still believe that Tadej is on a higher level, by a bit. We'll see how he looks in the Tour de Suisse in a few weeks. Jonas needs to get on his TT bike before the Tour and do some work there.01-06-2026 04:13

In a sense, yes, the Tour always holds rank over the other GT's. However, historically the Giro has harder climbs than the Tour. This Giro was not as hard as previous years, but the Tour this year is also not as hard. In the 2026 Tour they only break 2000 meters twice before finishing the second day (they finish there on Stage 19 and 20 ) on Alpe D'huez. I think that Jonas has his best chance this year, and maybe his last chance to win a Tour before father time catches up. I'm interested in watching Tadej at the Tour de Suisse in a few weeks and seeing where his form is as well.31-05-2026 20:54

Good for Jonas, I figured he was the shoe in, that early sickness had me worried but he was able to overcome. Now onto the Tour!31-05-2026 20:26

What does a guys wife have to do with anything? We live in a free world, she can say what she likes I guess. I hope Seixas has a good outing in his first GT, he could run into to some endurance issues being so young though. We'll have to see. Hopefully he can have a good Tour.23-05-2026 18:28

Absolutely, and he beat the climb record by almost 8m and did it in near 40C temps.23-05-2026 17:05
