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

    That's why I said it may have been Pogs best chance ever. If mvdp is fit it's going to be extremely hard to ride him off the wheel on the flat and not great odds in a sprint.

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

    Mvdp got a flat near the end. Do we really think mvdp would have caught back up with Pog on smooth roads again before the sprint? I wonder if that was Pogs best chance for a win at Roubaix. What might have been.

    Pogi transcends such categories. Your can't say he isn't a cobbled classic rider. RVV he is almost unbeatable and he has ridden PR once, and if he had not ridden off a corner he would have won - and he still came second. I still back mvdp for Roubaix but the only thing you can say pogi isn't, is...

    Most exciting wins of 2025?

    Dang I forgot about this gem. Too bad he multi-crashed at the Giro. Story of Primoz career though isn't it.

    Question Comparing Pogacar's two historical seasons

    Measuring wins alone 2024 stands out, however second in 2025 Roubaix was a defining result for me.

    Should Pro Cycling Teams Build Stronger, Franchise-Like Brands?

    I know a lot of people on here have favourite riders. I'm not sure many have favourite teams? I have a few teams I don't really like for one reason or another, but I'm not invested in any team really.

    They have been pushing really hard for wins since at least the start of the Vuelta so I think they are going to try

    UAE-Team Emirates thread

    Is this right? They are in the 91 already and lombardia is a lock, are there enough minor races to cobble together to get them over the line? Their PCS program says no.

    World Championship 2025: Men’s RR, September 28

    I think he knows he could have really contested this. I mean with the dropping on the climb and then two bike changes he still overcame everyone else. Some bizarre stuff and I don't know if the main failure was climbing legs, mechanicals or poor decisions.

    Wow. Remco making everyone else look like juniors. Pogi does not seem to have it all at all
