    He will skip worlds, but do the european championships, both the TT and road race.

    One point for all the UAE drama, one point for Almeida's Angliru victory and another point for Mad Mads. 3/10

    João Almeida - Bota Lume

    Rumours say he renewed with UAE until 2028. I really hope he demanded some proper help. Still no portuguese team announced for the WC, but I'm assuming he'll do both races. He should be able to top 10 the ITT, maybe top 5?!

    Vuelta a España Vuelta 2025, stage 21: Alalpardo - Madrid (108 km)

    I guess they're not going to do the podium ceremony. A real shame for Vingo, Almeida and Pidcock.

    João Almeida - Bota Lume

    Almeida will ride the Giro next year, from what the portuguese guys at eurosport said today. (One of them spoke with Almeida's father some time ago).

    You know Almeida is totally cooked when he doesn't even say "it is what it is" in an interview.

    Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 17: O/El Barco de Valdeorras – Alto de El Morredero (143.2k)

    Almeida is not having a good day. He would have attacked or pushed on the front if he had the legs.

    Teams & Riders Israel Premier Tech

    I didn't know anything about Adams, but reading his wikipedia page, it's very obvious he has a relationship with the State of Israel. They might not put money directly into the team, but there is a clear influence on the team owner.

    Juan Ayuso discussion thread

    I'm not inventing a narrative, I just don't understand what's the problem with Del Toro's words. I hope every non-slovenian rider races against Pogacar at Worlds.
