- They need to start over on this plan. WVA and Remco do not win together.
- they need to swap out Almedia's leadership and give it to McNulty. Make Almeida be domestique. He hasn't earned leadership after the season he finished. And he gets along with Tadej as it is.
- Such a Piddy. Both him and McNulty had teammates up the road with VdP. McNulty played the team card and saved his matches. Piddy wasted matches failing to chase his teammate down…matches that might have made the difference when he later tried to catch McNulty. Best not to whine about the bed when you’re the one who made it.
Meanwhile, del Toro was working hard all day. He only stopped working when his options were to sit in, or to chase a trade teammate down so Matthews could win. Sounds like he did the sensible thing to me.
- "eurotrash" - LOL. Is that you Quinn?
- Cry harder, boys!
- Stop crying, ride faster
- Fair point from Rasmussen. At the TDF, sure, he's riding for Pogi, no question. But now that Brandon's in the rainbow jersey, he's earned the right to go for his own wins when the race suits him. He's more than just a bottle carrier at this point.
- You want some of their oil money?? Then you do what they say. That is exactly what Brandon signed on to for the next four years.
- This is the power of UAE, best in history surely witohut a doubt. Their domestiques are better than other teams captain and beat em in montreal and now WC its crazy. UAE is a crazy team
- Sure, it's frustrating. The men’s race drove me crazy, I couldn’t sit still, and I won’t pretend that I didn’t scream at the screen once or twice. But this is hardly a new phenomenon, nor does it only happen at the Worlds. We saw it back in Leuven in 2021 when questions lingered over how hard Belgium actually chased Alaphilippe. Conversely, you see the flip side when riders step outside their team for friendship and their shared nation, like G helping Cav in the final stage of the 23’ Giro.
It’s almost impossible for the UCI to prevent it. We live in an era where cycling is dictated by super teams like UAE and Visma, and cyclists don’t want to burn bridges with team mates they have to work with for the rest of the year. It is what it is.
