    Question Who is the third best GT rider?

    Almeida. Very good in TTs and can climb nearly with the best. Won't get dropped, even if he loses a bit of time. I also don't have confidence in Remco being consistent in the mountains.

    Teams & Riders Derek Gee is the new G

    Yeah, political and moral stands aside he needed to consult with a contract lawyer first. Or maybe he did and this will be settled behind the scenes.

    European Championship 2025: Men’s RR, October 5

    Does Pog look a little nervous?

    World Championship 2025: Men’s RR, September 28

    He finished a GT on the podium so I'm not worried about his endurance. He's my pick to win.

    Teams & Riders Everybody needs a little bit of Roglstomp in their lives

    Whole peloton about to switch to short socks. Will be Rogla's real legacy.

    Teams & Riders The Great Big Cycling Transfers, Extensions, and Rumours Thread

    What if he lowers the price?

    Teams & Riders Sepp Kuss is the next Sepp Kuss thread

    I don't think it was clear until Jonas dropped Almeida with 1.5 k left what either riders shape was so better to play it safe.

    João Almeida - Bota Lume

    It would be a major fail for me if RB don't at least get a few second places in the next 2 years. Remco, Hindley, pelizzari, Rogla, Lipo... Surely one of them can do it...

    UCI MTB World Cup (All forms!)

    Wrong strategy, should have worked his way up gradually. That said, VTT field quality is very high right now. At one point he was on Pidcocks level but he's been away from the discipline too long.

    Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 18: Valladolid - Valladolid (12.2k)

    I'm OK with doing that to make a name for yourself or at the end of your career but Vine probably is on Pidcock`s level, with a much better TT, in this Vuelta.

    Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 18: Valladolid - Valladolid (12.2k)

    Vine should be riding for GC with somebody. When you can win mountain stages and flat TTs, it's time. He's too young to settle for being a domestique.

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

    Jorgenson said after the stage that the plan was to go for the win with Jonas, and it didn't work out. A strong Vingegaard could have taken more than a minute from Joao yesterday and put the race away, especially with all the uncertainty.

    Teams & Riders Everybody needs a little bit of Roglstomp in their lives

    He's fine on RB for two more years but they may want him to take a pay cut. In that case he should go where the pay is best. Wouldn't mind Ineos, he can lead any GT for them. I'm not quite ready for stage hunter Rogla yet.

    Most overrated (good) rider in the peloton?

    Yeah, bad tactics don't equate to inability to physically perform. No way at this point is DT overrated.

    Teams & Riders Matteo Jorgenson and his inexorable rise to the top

    There's a lot of good riders in this category. Can win week-long stage races and minor one day events but true classics and GTs require something exceptional. Other option is to go to a lesser team and rack up bottom of top 10 / 15 in GTs..
