Best wishes for next year, young man, as you finalize your contract with the **CMA CGM Team**. But for 2028, don’t chase the money—chase the **legacy**. Join EF Education–EasyPost; hopefully by then they’ll have a sponsor big enough to afford you! They’re the kind of team that could build a team around your growth and give you the weapons to take down Pogi and Del Toro. The money will come eventually, but **legacy lasts forever—and maybe you can finally bring France another Tour de France champion after more than 40 years!17:29

Could Primo win a Grand Tour—the Giro or the Spanish version—without Pogi or Jonas on the start list? I think that’s the risk they’re taking: betting that he can. Could he have won this year’s Spanish Grand Tour if Pogi had stayed home and played house with his mate who just finished the Tour de France?11-08-2026 16:07

This was an incredible generation of riders, but I think we need to separate talent from race aggression. Pogačar, Van der Poel, Carapaz, and Pedersen have consistently shown a willingness to attack, take risks, and create moments that define races. Remco Evenepoel is an exceptional talent and had a strong Tour, but let's be honest—he raced more conservatively and never really challenged Pogačar directly when it mattered. The stage 20 action was exciting, but it came in a very different race situation and should not be confused with taking the fight to the yellow jersey. With Jonas Vingegaard out, the biggest threat to Pogačar was removed, and Remco benefited from that opportunity. Great riders win races, but the riders who become legends are often the ones who are willing to take the biggest risks.29-07-2026 00:31

Visma | Lease a Bike has been one of the most innovative and dominant teams in cycling, but I think this is a moment for some honest reflection. Even with a fully healthy Wout van Aert supporting Jonas Vingegaard, the challenge against Tadej Pogačar has changed because "The Alien" is no longer just a Grand Tour rider—he has become a complete racer capable of winning classics, mountain stages, time trials, and controlling races in ways we rarely see. Wout gives Jonas one of the best teammates in the world and can absolutely change the dynamics of a race, but Visma may need to find new strategies because the old formula of isolating Pogačar and attacking late may no longer be enough. Jonas remains a phenomenal champion and the closest challenger we have seen, but beating this version of Pogačar will require something extraordinary.29-07-2026 00:26

I think Greg LeMond deserves to be celebrated for what he accomplished and for the role he played in American cycling history. At the same time, I believe the conversation around his era is more complicated than simply choosing sides. The 1980s peloton was not a clean era—amphetamines, cortisone, testosterone, and blood transfusions existed, while anti-doping technology was far behind the methods being used. There is no credible evidence that LeMond doped, but it is also fair to recognize the limitations of testing at that time. The best way to honor cycling history is to appreciate the achievements while continuing to ask honest questions about the sport and the era that shaped it.29-07-2026 00:21

Greg LeMond was undoubtedly one of the greatest cyclists of his generation, but I've always wondered whether anyone could truly emerge untouched from that era. The 1980s peloton was far from clean—amphetamines, cortisone, testosterone, and blood transfusions were already part of the sport long before EPO changed everything in the 1990s. It's also important to remember that anti-doping testing technology in the 1980s lagged well behind many of the drugs and methods being used, with blood transfusions essentially undetectable and no direct EPO test until around 2000. There's no credible evidence that LeMond doped, but given the realities of the era and the limitations of testing, I think it's reasonable to ask questions while acknowledging that we'll probably never know the full truth.29-07-2026 00:19

Armstrong may be right about one thing: the real debate isn't whether Pogačar is the most dominant athlete in the world—it’s whether anyone in cycling has a realistic path to beating him anymore. After this Tour, I don’t see Jonas Vingegaard closing the gap unless something fundamentally changes, and I don’t see anyone consistently challenging Pogačar for years if he stays healthy. The next rider who beats him may not simply be the next great talent; it may be the rider willing to think differently about the entire game. Imagine Paul Seixas choosing legacy over the biggest contract and joining a team like EF that is willing to build a completely creative project around one mission: finding a way to defeat Pogačar. Sometimes history is not made by the rider with the biggest salary—it is made by the rider who is willing to sacrifice comfort, challenge the impossible, and become the one who ended the greatest era of dominance cycling has ever seen.27-07-2026 20:30

After this Tour, I don't see Jonas Vingegaard closing the gap unless something fundamentally changes, and I honestly don't see anyone consistently challenging Pogačar for the next several years if he stays healthy. The only wildcard I can imagine is a generational talent like Paul Seixas deciding that legacy matters more than chasing the biggest contract—joining a team willing to build an entire, creative project around one mission: beating Pogačar. Imagine a team like EF creating unconventional tactics, giving him complete freedom, and making everything about ending this era of dominance. Sometimes the greatest legacy isn't earning the most money—it's being remembered as the rider who dared to take a different path and became the one who finally dethroned the sport's seemingly unbeatable champion.27-07-2026 20:24
