    i think Silvan Adams need to do some management decisions first before we get to this (signings) , and i have a feeling some management guys are not to continue in 2026. the current situation of pro-cycling (now even the TDF ratings dropped), means that Adams has no reason to be stressed...

    the IPT Frooming status: the late TDF has show increase in Woods, and Lukutensko frooming. IPT is stuck with Lukutsenko for next year also, so he can still improve, i hope Woods will retire now. the only good thing for them is that they only signed 16-17 riders so far, and they can still look...

    INTERMARCHE 385 - i was right about it. Girmai form dropped, and he also crushed. the team is now 18 place. IPT 320 - i was right about it. without Gee, the team can't score. JAYCO 860 - i was wrong, although O'connor won a stage. UNO-X 1315 - i was right, and Abrahmson won a...

    it was their worst tour ever. top 10s: 2024 [3,3,3,3,4,6,6,6,7,9,9,10,10] 2023 [1,4,5,8,9,9] 2021 [3,55,6,7,8,8,10] 2022 [1,1,3,6] 2020 [4,6,6,7,8,8,10] 2025 [4,6,6,8] main problem was the team selection. normally teams take their best riders to the tour. top 5 riders this year are: Gee (1620)...

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

    i don't see why UAE should risk their golden goose in less a important race like the Vuelta. one of the reasons of this race is to give a last chance for the guys who failed or weren't picked to the Giro, or the Tour. they have so many good riders that they can send there instead, that can...

    yes, that what will happen: Transfer Request to the UCI A team may formally request to transfer its WorldTour license to another structure (new ownership or merged team). The UCI reviews the sporting, ethical, financial, and administrative criteria of the receiving entity. The transfer must...

    Who is your favourite rider ?

    dudes that i really loved to see winning: Alberto Contador "the gunfighter" Cadel Evans "the little engine that could" Vincenzo Nibali " the shark of Massina" i really enjoy Chris Horner's podcast - this guy is always near the money, and is funny and very articulate.

    Tim Wellens thread

    there is the UAE factor of course - for example if we look at mark Hirschi season compared to is UAE season, the difference is notable. VISMA as a team looks mentally broken now. they need a shrink or to bring Chris Horner to tell them they are all "Knuckleheads" and straighten them out.

    i wonder if Girmay will want to ride at all, or he will watch himself, cause he is already on is way out. in this case UNO-X can pass them, after they will pass COFIDIS.
