  I agree @Sweep . I remember than Tadej NEVER said nothing about his imperfect preparation for Tour 2023 because the injury-surgery: he could use the normal bike again only 2 weeks before the start of the Tour (for example, he couldn't prepare at all the 16th TT stage). Instead Jonas cries too much. And nothing explains why if he was so exhausted, he rides Pologne Tour immediately after the tour and not world championship race, months later.

  Completely agree, that said I’m sure what he meant was slightly nuanced (and maybe lost in translation). Obviously there are places and moments you can go full throttle but there are some you can’t and an experienced peleton should not be getting into overly dangerous situations when there is absolutely no gain to be achieved. That said, this obviously becomes a contentious pount when race organisations and even the UCI do nothing or very little to help the peleton recognise these spots. Even in amateur and youth races you will often see marshals warning at critical points, this seems to have been completely abandoned at the pro level in many races. When individual riders pount out black spots to organisers months in advance, it is INEXCUSABLE they don’t evaluate and put in place measures there. This has happened more than once in 2024 alone. Another solution if riders are to be completely responsible is to send a few scouts and have a rider representative meeting before each race/day to transmit information to each team for riders in due time. In this way, they could sll agree to take it easy in bunched groups in such places.

  Alex Carrera is his agent not his puppeteer. Maxim only can decide to break his contract

  It's a race. It's ludicrous for the event organiser to suggest that competitors should race slower!

  Your not looking back far then, the US won one last year and Belgium the year before, they being more likely to repeat than the US. Besides with only 3 per year and Slovenia/Denmark already named that only leaves one country per year so yes obviously that means every year about 200 can’t hope for a GT ;-) On the other hand, it is rare to see so many different countries/ riders winning Giro or TdF over a long period as was the case before the SloDen rivalry heated up

  And now Remco is at that too

  C’mon, give the guy a break, after all that he only lost to an alien by a few minutes over 80 hours and easily beat everyone else. Without the alien’s improvement over last year he’d probably have even won it. Nobody last year expected alien to still make such a big jump.

  I understand. But once you join the TdF peloton you don't get to use excuses from before the race. Now if he had crashed in the race that's another story.

  Bernard would be getting dropped while Pogi still had domestiques helping him.

  Being recovered isn't the same as being where you would have been without losing all that preparation
