Fair play, doing every level in RR and ITT is quite a feat.05-10-2026 07:26

People complain when he wins, and people complain when a surprise winner wins the WC - you can't please some people.02-10-2026 06:55

If you're referring to the female WC then that's correct but also this article is about the Male WC02-10-2026 02:01

I guess if there wasn't/isn't a grassroots culture that he sprang from or was fostered during his career, then he's just someone who was lucky to get to where he is despite where he's from, rather than because of it. Plus, is cycling popular in Slovakia overall? Sometimes you get these folks who do a sport that no-one at home cares about back home so they are sort of successful in obscurity.01-10-2026 03:08

I feel like he's probably not the type of guy who would get snitty about having to do his regular role in the team just cuz he won the rainbows. A bit like Sepp Kuss, who seemed uncomfortable with the leadership expectations placed on him after his Vuelta win. Some guys thrive on teamwork and doing that teamwork, so I would expect him to get a nice pay bump, and more chances at select races, but still be in the train for Tadej etc when needed.30-09-2026 01:33

I like that UAE's website has already updated their photos to show Pog in his post-WC kit. Before they even get one of McNulty in his. I guess they knew Pog wasn't going to re-up the jersey for a while but still, respecting the jersey - I can get behind that.29-09-2026 07:10

Yeah it's quite unique in sport I think, to have so many distinctions on jerseys for past achievements. Even the stickers on the race numbers for stage wins. I like it. I kind of wish they had more, so former winners of GTs or Monuments had something to mark it on their kit.25-09-2026 11:47

What's the deal with how thick the rainbow stripes are on a former winner's kit? Seems like some of the former World Champs keep their stripes pretty slim, but then Remco has big fat ones (which lowkey irritates me) - is there actually a UCI rule, or is it just rider's discretion?24-09-2026 07:16
