    Jay Vine discussion thread

    Agreed and this is the superteam conundrum. If salaries and resources were better distributed across the peloton Vine would be riding for GC somewhere. There's no incentive for him to do that now.

    Nys is going to be a problem for VdP this season.

    Teams & Riders Team Visma - Lease a Bike

    I imagine something will happen and the Vuelta lineup is in flux. I'd have Yates as nominal Vuelta leader, tbh but I guess you have to give Matteo a shot at GC at some point...

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

    As it should be. Winning all three GTs should be a priority.

    Teams & Riders Derek Gee is the new G

    He may have prematurely burned his bridges with the team formerly known as IPT, who knows what it might look like next season? There are a bunch of good riders still there l. Not guaranteed that Adams will still be the principal.

    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.

    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 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.
