Yup no need to trash Demi. In fact PFP’s achievement is amazing precisely because she beat amazing riders like Demi and Kasia.23-08-2025 18:46

Supposedly the only person to both run a sub four minute mile and also win a Tour de France stage.18-08-2025 22:01

Pauline has also never won a race “JUST because of a big weight loss”. It’s insulting to suggest that.16-08-2025 08:06

At her supposedly reduced by 4 kg race weight PFP would have been 49 kg and a BMI of 18 instead of her normal BMI of 19.5. So what we have here is a rider who temporarily moved moved the tiniest amount outside of the supposed healthy range of BMI from 18.5 to 25. A lot of gnashing of teeth that detracts from her actual amazing athletic achievement.15-08-2025 19:16

It seems like it is always amateur hour at the UCI. This should have all been sorted out months ago behind closed doors. That it comes down to disqualifying teams at the last minute is frankly ridiculous and disappointing..15-08-2025 19:01

Apparently the issue is that Pauline was "too thin" while Demi was "not thin enough". Clearly we need a panel of old, male UCI judges to determine acceptable female body shapes and weights.14-08-2025 20:02

Agreed. PFP didn't win because she was the thinnest. She won because she was the best. Better prep, Better training, better tactics.14-08-2025 19:09

Why is this discussion only happening with respect to PFP! What about some of the skeletal riders in the mens peloton? I smell a double standard12-08-2025 23:10

Super unlikely that del Toro will be available, Ayuso slightly more feasible. Joao would be great but UAE likely will pay top dollar to keep their most reliable Pogi-lieutenant. Onley seems most likely as he is british and currently with a smaller team.12-08-2025 03:47
