- That's also true.
- Oh come on .every country has road furniture .look at Holland .nightmare. every stage of the TDF has danger that is why Vin crashed out.If you look at the race with a health and safety outlook for everything why bother racing.cav crashed out in a sprint finish on wide open road so the argument holds little water.
- This will be Remco's only chance that I see to win a tour. If he doesn't do it in 2027 he never will based on his age and upcoming new talent in the pro ranks. But he's not going to do it, Seixas is going to leapfrog him in 2027, unless he crashes out or is sick.
- If Seixas has the same development he did from the first of 2026 until the end of it, he is one of the Tour favorites in 2027. I think Tadej is obviously the guy to beat but Seixas should slot right in there with him.
- People forget Jonas can TT but it's been a few years since he's had a good result.
I feel like he is going to come back with some anger this year. But he may retire, who knows.
- They had no chance anyway until Jonas crashed out, he was looking better and better.
- I don't think Lipowitz will be in front of Jonas, but time will tell.
- You're forgetting something very important, Jonas won the Giro before going to the Tour and his legs and body felt it. He wanted to prove that he can do the something Pogi did in 2024 but it didn't work out for him. There is a valid reason why only eight male cyclists in history have won both the Giro and the Tour in the same calendar year. The last one was Pogi.
To sum it all up, if Jonas hadn't have done the Giro, I think Remco, Siexas and the rest would have had no chance to be second.
- GIven the amount of injuries narvaze, almeida, vine, wellens, del toro (ardennes gone + lombardia) etcetc list goes on throughout this year, in context their even more dominant almost...UAE completely crazy best team ive ever seen without a doubt.
Rremember UAE in TDF before the virus they literally played with every single team and 1-2 on stages after controlling all stage it was insane and everyone cried they ruined the sport. Strade they controlled all race and had 3 ppl top 6 still.. wtf(wellens wasnt even there and he was top 3 last year for instance)...list goes on Mcnulty winning worlds with 30km solo and in UAE hes just a good domestique and every other team he would top 10 TDF and captain classics...like wtf can teams do to that..
Then injuried started pill up more and more. Good to see tho Lidl and RBH coming in with money to push them alteast in the coming years(doubt anyone can actually challenge them, its almost impossible how they run things with continuity in roster structure and develop riders (pogi best ever...and del toro..) they can atleast push UAE and make a alittle less dominant i hope. Good years ahead, cycling is great now
- Exactly the same jarring quote that drew my attention too. Whenever Pedersen is mentioned I always recall the late great Richard Moore depicting him as an uncooperative pain in the backside on The Cycling Podcast. Never heard him disparage another rider in that manner which I think says it all really.
