The last part of this comment seems blind to the fact that preserving energy is absolutely paramount when you aren't a completely radioactive rider. Greg van Avermaet won as much as he did because he raced incredibly smart against Peter Sagan, who instead kept wasting his energy. Ironically...

Forget about Foliforov, Riccò, Landis, or Vino. This guy is by far and away the least credible rider we've ever seen. Look at this list of results from 2026 and tell me with a straight face that it's even remotely believable that the same rider has won the Tour four times. This is a Fabian...

To be fair, Remco is clearly washed, couldn't even keep Jonas at bay on the flats in Catalunya.

Interesting times. 1 minute and 20 seconds faster in total than in 2023. Six seconds faster in total than last year, and his fastest third ascent so far. Tiredness is relative, so compared to earlier versions, it doesn't really look like he got particularly tired today.

It might be useful to look at patterns and the overall picture instead of feigning that this single race exists in some sort of vacuum. Today's excursion might not have been his wildest or most impressive ride, but the issue arises when one rider is likely to win all five monuments, the Tour de...

I hope this entire paragraph is satire. If not, it is pure and utter ignorance. There's really no in-between.

Maybe not, but the fact that both have bonked several times over the past couple of years at least gives them some credibility compared to Pogi. I've said it many times in The Clinic, but to me, credibility is absolutely a spectrum, and while Jonas and Remco are definitely on the very...

Anyone else just straight up not watching these races any longer? I just can't be bothered. No interest whatsoever in watching the same single rider do the same suspicious thing over and over and over again.

Again, you're very clearly trying to frame Vingegaard's emergence as something Froomesque, and that's just not at all in line with reality. I'll say it again: Either you're new to this sport, you don't follow it very closely, or you're being purposely disingenuous. There were 34 neopros on the...

Three possibilities here: You're new to cycling. You just don't actually follow cycling very closely. You're being purposely disingenuous. Already at 20, he showed that he was an oustanding climbing talent, beating Egan Bernal on a mountain time-trial in Sibiu Tour. Bernal was already then...

Insecurity and greedy entitlement seem to be deeply ingrained in UAE as a team. The way that his domestiques sometimes look like they're in utter disbelief when another team tries to take the front from them, those situations are where the greedy entitlement really shines through, like when...

We haven't talked enough about how ridiculous Narváez has become since moving to Gianetti and Matxin's magic team. He's basically climbing like he's a top-10 climber in the world at this point. Not even 12 months ago, he couldn't follow Pablo Castrillo and Max Poole.

2026 will be the year where Pogi doesn't leave the saddle yet somehow wins mass sprints. Ridiculous. Can't wait for this utterly shameless cheat to eventually get caught by karma.

There's just something visually upsetting about watching Vingegaard stand up on the pedals and make a ridiculously forceful acceleration, which Pogi just easily follows while completely seated. The amount of torque needed to generate that sort of power seated is something you'd expect from...

66 now after a dominant Isaac del Toro display. Their last three non-TT wins should tell you everything you need to know about this team: Isaac del Toro wins with a 33-kilometer solo break. Tim Wellens wins with a 43-kilometer solo break. Tadej Pogačar wins with an 11-kilometer solo break...
