    Teams & Riders Cian Uijtdebroeks - From the wetlands to the top of cycling

    He should i guess first be in a position to get such a stab, his pre race (co)leader watching him in the back, both to be in top 10. Jonas in your opinion won't drop him? Anyway, to me and so far and even if we look at it from the most naive eyes and at face value out there, so far the transfer...

    I mean you wrote what you feel the reasons where for Cian leaving. If we take that at face value and compare it to his campaign at Visma so far, then his old team feels more and more like heaven on earth?

    @Berniece Still in retrospective and so far it seems that the move might have been a mistake?

    Teams & Riders Cian Uijtdebroeks - From the wetlands to the top of cycling

    @Libertine Seguros If we take everything at face value then one can say he was stabbed in the back by his old team and then he has thrown himself on a blade, both stabbings fall more in the knee jerk reaction category, mostly due to inexperience. On a more serious note a year or two where...

    Teams & Riders Cian Uijtdebroeks - From the wetlands to the top of cycling

    @Berniece In all honesty it remains to be seen, on what role Remco will feel the most comfortable at, while riding for RBH, could still end up stage racing won't be it. Or i guess indeed Remco to turn into a stage racing powerhouse. As for Cian not all is doom and gloom either. That is...

    Teams & Riders Cian Uijtdebroeks - From the wetlands to the top of cycling

    You would have to be rather naive to believe something like that. Even Patrick and some staff member from SOQ mentioned that for this amount of money it makes sense for Remco to sign for RBH. Nothing else was mentioned. As for Cian, he likely got a bit more, then at his old team, but if staying...

    We mix them up frequently. OK, yes, money for sure was a big part of it, Cian leaving. The thing is he could now be swimming in it if staying.

    https://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/artifact/scapegoat You have to hand it to the mob, for the level of stupidity involved, historically speaking.

    Teams & Riders Cian Uijtdebroeks - From the wetlands to the top of cycling

    @Libertine Seguros It's rather normal i guess, once some relationship ends for people being entertained to take sides. During the negotiations the other side usually won't say something in the lines of you get to keep the house and the dog too, that is rather rare. Or claiming an affair was...

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    I don't know to be honest, he said in an interview above that (small) part of his mind is already occupied with retirement and honestly i believe it. That is normally he knows he will likely ride for a couple more years and that the team will make him ride the Tour often, still imagine if he...

    https://www.rtvslo.si/sport/kolesarstvo/pogacar-se-je-spocil-in-razkril-karte-nato-pa-se-dobil-svoj-kriterij/754232 You can guess only once, on who won the criterium of Tadej Pogačar. I do find it interesting on how much a word retirement is being used lately. As for the Worlds and national...

    Of course, media can trash talk, smear ... for whatever agendas involved but that doesn't mean you need to roll over and die.

    Teams & Riders The Remco Evenepoel is the next Eddy Merckx thread

    Well, Remco did blew up at the Tour, apparently due to the lack of base, and the remainder of the season is packed. Transfer was already negotiated and hence this isn't a burden any more. So if he wants to leave SOQ with a bang then he will need it, long prep on altitude.
