    Also odd language used in the statement 'he will forever remain in our heart'.

    Do we think Onley should go to the tour or try a Giro as team leade? He's only 23 and he isn't getting a podium this year anyway.

    Being sick of Boe was fair enough. Being sick of a new person emerging and shooting the lights out, a new name to shake things up at the top just because of where they were born, is weird.

    I do wonder why more Norwegians don't pick a country of convenience to allow them to compete at the highest levels where possible. If you are top 15 in the world, it's absurd that being number 5 in your country holds you back.

    I think the nordic combined is going to be A LOT more competitive this year without Riiber. Nobody likes to see illness take out an all time great, but he was just far far too good.

    Question Comparing Pogacar's two historical seasons

    12 stage wins in grand tours to 4 is the tiebreaker for me, but it's close.

    You think if there were 2 people evenly matched, racing to finish, people would watch it?

    Most people on here don't necessarily vote with their heads.

    Il Lombardia 2025, monument, October 11

    Has there ever been any race in cycling history where there was as big a favourite? Kelly in PN, EM at MsR, Cav in a sprint in Paris?
