    Antonio Tiberi - Sniper is the new Shark

    He looks like a cyclist with short endurance. He ends every season exhausted. This year in April.

    Isaac Del Toro thread

    Will Facebook still be used as a means of communication in 2026? If it's a muscle tear, it'll be 2-3 weeks. It's not a long-term injury, but they have to be careful because it's easy to relapse. They shouldn't take him to the Ardennes. Pidcock and Del Toro were the favorites for Fleche...

    State of the Peloton 2026

    Healy's form is awful, and Simmons isn't the same rider he was in 2025, like almost everyone at LIDL except Pedersen and Hector Alvarez. I have the feeling that the peloton is weakened. LIDL, EF, and UAE are all weaker, with the exception of their leaders. Pedersen (I mentioned Alvarez, Ayuso...

    Itzulia Basque Country 2026, April 6-11

    He'll be the strongest tomorrow and Saturday. This is not Seixas of Avenir, it´s three levels stronger and resilient. He doesn't tire.

    Leg injuries are the worst for a cyclist. Let's hope it's not serious injury.

    Paul Seixas: Tour de France Winner 2031

    Vingegaard was weaker, and look at him now. Perhaps Seixas's future rival is a 24 years domestique who finishes this Itzulia in 78th place.

    Not always. Ayuso has regressed significantly compared to his first grand tour.

    Itzulia Basque Country 2026, April 6-11

    Vauquelin has always been inconsistent. Vauquelin, Onley, Enric Mas in Itzulia... Almeida's 2025 season is the proof of how can it be inflated a trophy haul and overrating a season by choosing the right schedule avoiding top rivals.

    Paris-Roubaix 2026, one day monument, April 12

    Before San Remo, some thought Del Toro should play a free role. Vermeersch has as much chance of beating Van der Poel post 2022 version as Del Toro has of winning San Remo this year.

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

    There's no point in arguing further about evidence we've already seen tepeatedly. The gap has only been closed in Amstel ; it never has been in any other instance. I'm not going to tell you what you should or shouldn't believe if you deny something tangible.

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

    Sure is to say that he was going to close the gap, just like in the World Championship, in Lombardy, in the European Championship.... Keep believing in unicorns. We've seen 100 races that he has never closed the gap.

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

    What? :tearsofjoy: Pogacar was managing that time to keep Van der Poel with him, as he did with Del Toro in Kigali. In Kigali, Remco had the moto and minimal help from Healy and only close the gap after motorpace leap and when Pogacar was keeping Del Toro. Once he droped Del Toro, Remco didn't...

    Paul Seixas: Tour de France Winner 2031

    Lipowitz is similar as he was in Catalonia. It's difficult to compare races, but in a single stage Lipowitz lost the same amount of time as he did in a week in Catalonia. I don't understand this underestimation of what happened yesterday. I'm not saying Seixas will beat Pogacar not even...

    Paul Seixas: Tour de France Winner 2031

    As you said , facts (numbers) without context. In Kigali, Roglic had a leader far superior to him; here, he's leader. The stage Ayuso won in the Giro was an uphill sprint; you can't consider him dropped Roglic like we saw yesterday. Ayuso has never dropped Roglic like that on a climb. We saw it...
