Is a GC bid out of the question for Brennan?

Team send in, but I gotta say that I'm not at all confident. I had like 15-20 very certain picks, but from there I honestly don't have much clue. I found it extremely tough this year, because I couldn't find a single rider below 100 points I'm happy with. I definitely don't see anyone having a...

This is exactly my assessment as well. I can't find a single rider under 100 points I'm thrilled about, but there are probably 30 riders in the 200-500 points bracket that are worthy of consideration.

Yes, it says that the Ardennes are his goal - as a leader alongside Ayuso. Not as a domestique.

This is very strange to me. He asked the management to do the Giro already last year but was forced to do the Tour instead. I would have imagined him doing the Giro next year for sure then. Oh well, this is good news for Uno-X. They just got themselves a big name for 2027.

I just read that he would do the Tour as a domestique for Ayuso in 2026. Is he also doing the Giro?

I think that a top 10 should be a realistic goal - but I'm also positive that Uijtdebroeks himself aims higher than that. I do think that his level towards the end of the season is good enough to top 10 and perhaps even finish around 7th. His results in stage races perhaps weren't that...

I tend to have a delay of a year or two with regards to call the teams by their current name. I'm proud I got NSN right.

I really like a lot of these new jerseys - not least because they'll be much easier to tell apart. Ag2r, QuickStep and NSN's jerseys are all sweet.

You might be right, that's just what I read, but it might have been manipulated or taken out of context.

Yes, I'm aware of that, but I was referring to the 2026 season.

It's a bit weird if they let Nordhagen do one when they wouldn't let Uijtdebroeks do one.

Their two main goals has to be to podium the Tour and to win the Vuelta. Podiuming the Giro isn't as high a priority as the other two (I'm assuming Vingegaard is doing the Giro here). With their team, Bora absolutely has to win the only GT Vingegaard and Pogacar don't ride. I don't see Remco...

Yeah, that's my point as well. And I'm confident that the Bora management sees it the same way.
