    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

    I would suspect that he is, if not showing concussion symptoms, maybe suffering from a lot of pain in his head. In addition to his hand, there's no point in risking your megastar at this point in the season. I'm sort of surprised, although I shouldn't have been, to hear that he continued riding...

    David Gaudu discussion thread

    So have I. So long as he’s just picking stupid fights with random pack fill, I’m ok with it. And he was right about Demare being washed.

    Tom 'Pidders' Pidcock

    Agreed, I'm not sure what else he could have done. And I think he pushed Pog into a mistake on that curve. Not that he was intending to crash him out of the race but I Pog probably fears Pidcock's descending abilities. I would not have taken any turns with Pog, but I agree that it's probably...

    Strade Bianche 2025, March 8, one-day classic (men's)

    Unfortunately to be a well-rounded rider now you need to be at least not scared of gravel/cobbles. I'd love to see Remco spend some time working on this part of his game. His ability to motor away from the field at the end of the race and go aero surely is an advantage at PR/RVV. Maybe he...

    He was extremely lucky not that his head did not hit the road.

    Strade Bianche 2025, March 8, one-day classic (men's)

    If I'm Pidcock I don't go to the front for one second, although I guess descending he'd rather take his own lines.

    Strade Bianche 2025, March 8, one-day classic (men's)

    better than watching Pog ride off into the sunset (ofc that will probably still happen.) But maybe he can recover and potentially push Pog into an error, and he could always flat...

    Lesser known races 2025 edition

    Powless is back to being Powerless. I don't know what happened to him but he's looking very ordinary lately.

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    Well it's no fun just saying "he's gonna win race X again, only question is from how far out will he attack?" And just saying "goat goat goat" is really boring, too. Did you watch CX this year? the commentators used thousands of words to say they had no words to describe how good MvdP is...

    Volta ao Algarve em Bicicleta 2025 ( February 19 - February 23)

    Of course, but it looked like the option to go to the right side of the boulevard was wide open (and that wasn't a great point for the cars/motos to peel off, I think). Anyway, egg on the organizers' face for a potentially great race, given the entry list.

    Volta ao Algarve em Bicicleta 2025 ( February 19 - February 23)

    Just watched the finish. WTF? How could that turn not be perfectly marked and blocked off?

    Teams & Riders Geraint Thomas

    Compared to the average WT pro, yes he and Evans had an outstanding career, what was frustrating about G is his lack of panache. Yeah, he was a grinder but heroically following wheels is not the stuff of legends.

    Teams & Riders The "MVP" Mathieu Van der Poel Road Discussion Thread

    It pains me to say this as a MvdP fan/stan, but I think that 2024 Pogi could beat any year MvdP at every race except maybe PR. And that's a big "maybe." (MSR is sort of an outlier fora lot of reasons) I've never seen a rider dominate like that on multiple terrains. 2023 Pogi was, relatively...
