    Tibor is one smooth rider, and love those tailwhips.

    Quinn Simmons is the new Quinn Simmons

    Skimo isn't that risky. Didn't Bora sign a top guy from the sport recently? I think it's something a cyclist could do in the off-season. It's also gnarly as hell.

    Teams & Riders Official Wout Van Aert thread

    He was looking really strong, that corner where he crashed was a danger zone though.

    Mvdp said afterwards that he didn't have good legs until the end. Nys didn't know that, but in hindsight he should have forced Mathieu to make the first moves. Still the goat, though.

    Del Grosso and Vandeputte looked really good today; Del Grosso had an unfortunate late endo in the sand. He's not quite the best technically but he's got that road power. MvdP can win CX races until he's Eddie Merckx's age, as far as I can tell.

    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.
