    Most overrated (good) rider in the peloton?

    Indeed. A rider of Matthews' ability should have at least an MSR, Amstel and WC win, along with a couple of top results at Flanders. I do think Sagan also got into his head early in his career

    Most overrated (good) rider in the peloton?

    Michael Matthews wins this hands down for me. He should have a much better palmares, but never quite got that Milan SanRemo win, Flanders podium or Giro/second TDF points classification.

    TBF he was easily 3rd best at the 2023 TdF before his crash

    He's lurking and looks to be getting stronger when it matters. The final week might not be a two horse race

    Of course, but I'm talking about the myopericarditis and iliac artery issues - both requiring major surgery - she's also faced.

    True, but bike handling doesn't fix the health problems

    At this point of a GT and a stage like that, if nobody responds it's usually because they can't

    me too, but to be fair, that stage1 crash wasn't really one he could have avoided

    Giro d'Italia 2025 Giro d'Italia Women, July 6-13

    Gigante is a true racer. Despite her demeanour and bike handling limitations, if she smells blood she'll try to strike. Reusser being slightly unwell explains her teams actions

    Giro d'Italia 2025 Giro d'Italia Women, July 6-13

    Hopefully Gigante has finally turned a corner. It's always a flash of massive potential followed by an unlucky crash. Or a crash from bad bike handling. Or an illness/heart condition. It's exhausting being a fan of hers

    Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2025 stage 20: Verrès – Sestrière, 205 km

    Good on Yates. If they're going to ride like total fwits you have to punish them :p

    Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2025 stage 20: Verrès – Sestrière, 205 km

    Del Toro should have gotten off his bike at the foot of the final climb and started signing autographs. Just to rub it into Carapaz

    The Caleb Ewan Thread

    Said it before and I'll say it again. Family life took precedence for him, you could see it over all his social media. First place he goes after announcing his retirement? Disneyland
