    Men's U23 races and talents

    How they race the 2 HC/Cat 1 climbs and ITT stages would be critical. Previous races show that Seixas is more consistent in ITT than Widar. We could not discount though the improvement of Torres and Pericas of UAE as they often seen train with either Pogi or Ayuso or Almeida.

    Men's U23 races and talents

    Trade teams decide where their development riders race? I wonder why the Spanish Cycling Federation left Markel Beloki, Hector Alvarez and Benamin Noval were not selected for L'Avenir 2025.

    Vuelta a Burgos 2025 (August 5-9)

    Ciccone needs a stronger team in the Vuelta to compete in the overall against Vingegaard and Almeifa, Vine and Ayuso. At Burgos, his lieutenant was an 18 yo trackster, who has just recovered from injury but did far better than the Trek veterans. The guy should be allowed to race in the Vuelta...

    Vingegaard vs Pogačar - The Duel

    How many times Vingo finished in front of Pogi, and how many times did Pogi finish in front of Vingo, and who has the wider smile after each stage, and after the tour? Next year, so that both would be in peak form in the Tour, both should race MSR, LBL, Tour of Flanders, Roubaix and Basque...

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    After yesterday's stage Pogi accidentally "kissed" the rear hood of the Visma team car he was following on his way to the hotel. He jokingly said that "the sudden stop maybe due to check-braking by the driver".

    Teams & Riders Carlos Rodriguez- The Next Great Rodriguez Discussion Thread

    CRod and Alaphilippe crashed 50 km away from finish line. Past crashes involving Rodríguez have often been secondary collisions—he gets caught up in someone else’s fall. He’s rarely the instigator, which makes incidents like Stage 17 even more frustrating for him and his team.

    Teams & Riders Carlos Rodriguez- The Next Great Rodriguez Discussion Thread

    Riding along Carapaz, Alaphillipe, Vansevenant and Mollema, guys with rocking upper bodies/shoulders, is dangerous to smooth riders.

    Carlos Rodriguez with his Engineering degree with two majors, Bardet, Cunego and any professional cyclists who pursued their college degrees while competing or after their cycling careers.

    Tour de France Tour de France 2025, Stage 16: Montpellier to Mont Ventoux, 171.5 km

    According to Pogi in one of his interviews during the second rest day, "half of the riders in the Tour are either coughing or sneezing".

    Tour de France Tour de France 2025 Stage 12: Auch - Hautacam (180.6k)

    Forget about UAE and Visma, Remco should work with the top 8 to 15 in the GC for mass attack inorder to sort out the overall standing early and to end those Pogi-Vingo debates.

    In the mountain stages, if not raining, UAE should use a rim brake for Pogi. Lighter in the mountains and for faster wheel change.

    Tour de France Tour de France 2025 Stage 10: Ennezat – Le Mont-Dore (165.3k)

    UAE and Visma are now in the middle of a chess game. Visma has more pieces but they have to break Pogacar for them to win. So far Pogi seems to be wiser now than in the previous Tours. He knows that he could TT and sprint faster than in any of the Visma riders. It's only in the climbs and...
