I'm guessing the media reaction in Belgium has been, uh...spirited. Hellscape might be another word. And Wellens will really be getting raked over the coals again. I missed him. It isn't a proper bike race without Wellens honking about something or other.29-09-2026 23:58

As a Canadian, I wasn't exactly cheering on the Yanks, but they rode a brilliant race.29-09-2026 23:50

Even someone who's never watched a bike race would probably ask why nobody was paying attention to the guy who won the GP de Montreal last year on THE SAME F***ING CIRCUIT!29-09-2026 23:47

I guess we'll see this week where MvdP stands, as he's racing the Tour of Luxembourg. That seems like better prep than hanging around Montreal for two weeks. I assume all the teams are in hotels or rented houses in the Eastern Townships, where you can find plenty of hills similar to Mont Royal. We'll see- the circuit isn't the leg breaker it once was, and it certainly isn't hard enough to force selections.15-09-2026 18:54

Evenepoel's my favourite for the RR but with so many riders only racing minimal programs, it can be tough to rank riders. I assume Sexias will be strong but he hasn't raced in a while so I don't know. I've said before that this circuit isn't the leg breaker, climber's course it once was, so WVA could be up there as well. My only problem is with the world's here in Canada, we'll have to listen to possibly the worst sports announcer on earth for six hours. Not just cycling, all sports. You'd think that the expert analyst would be, well, an expert. Instead we get Curt Harnett, a track rider from back in the 90's, who made it blatantly obvious at the Olympics that he doesn't even follow racing. He spent that whole race, when he wasn't yapping about nothing or missing moves, calling WVA, Woot Van Irt. That would be like me saying I'm a football expert and the best player is Linus Massi. You wouldn't take anyone very seriously if they said that, but that's how bad this stupid clown is. CBC really can't find a single ex-pro Canadian rider who can do a better job? I'D do a better f***ing job and I'd do it for free and all the poutine I can eat. A rabid beaver would be a better analyst than Harnett. I hope everyone who attends has a great time. Montreal is a wonderful city.13-09-2026 00:09

I assumed the issue was the same as someone not wiping down a bench or machine at a gym. If he'd been beaten earlier, would he have wiped down the seat when that happened? Like most people, I'm not wild about sitting in a chair drenched with someone else's sweat. I just don't know if the UCI should be concerned with micro-managing an issue this small.25-06-2026 18:53

Never said I did. Oh I see, you're one of these d**kheads who think only racers can possibly understand racing. Whatever little Cat 5 nothing races you've won have ZERO to do with pro cycling. They're two different sports. Let me guess, you're the guy on group rides who scares away newbies because their socks are the wrong length. There's really no law that says you have to be an a**hole all the time.29-04-2026 18:36
