A number of commentators said MVDP and WVA needed to get ahead of the climbers. I think that was backwards, they needed to drop him. Even after burning so many matches MVDP was able to crush all the climbers in the sprint, and if he hadn't used himself up he would have beaten Matthews, too.17:33

Tadej really had to dig deep to stay away from MVDP. I think staying away from Remco, where he did more work than MDVP, cost him, but once he got a gap more than 15 seconds he simply cruised at a higher speed than his rivals and looked less ragged doing so. Kudos!05-04-2026 18:47

Too hilly for Philipsen or Girmay to win. I'd include Wellens and Brennan instead.24-02-2026 21:28

Evenepoel and co. have put one set of UAE riders to the sword. If they can do the same to this group the final test is the man at the top- Pogacar!11-02-2026 21:11

Great ride by Brand after last weekend's misery. In her comments Alvararado shows her grace and class. Hopefully her turn will come next year.31-01-2026 23:23

I'm wondering if he's quitting because Visma wouldn't make him their #1 at this year's Giro, which he believed suited him well. As defending champ he deserved his team's backing. After all, he's done a lot for Vingo.07-01-2026 21:24

"it seems very unlikely that anyone will be able to prevent van der Poel from taking the victory in the competition." That's a big dis to Nys, who is 23 points ahead of MVDP.30-12-2025 23:50

Had a friend who switched from bike racing to running in his 60's. Produced excellent times in many distances. Riding tuned his engine and preserved his legs.23-11-2025 01:27

I feel like Luke was with too many other Classics riders at QS to be given much support. Hopefully he'll now get precedence and take home some big trophies.06-11-2025 00:13

I lost respect when watching Nys act like a spoiled child. Sometimes not every little thing is perfect and you have to keep your cool about it.03-11-2025 20:59
