    Teams & Riders Matteo Jorgenson and his inexorable rise to the top

    Did he attack on Madeleine? How did it go? My TV coverage didn't start until at the top of CdF when he was pulling hard.

    Teams & Riders Matteo Jorgenson and his inexorable rise to the top

    Matteo is ostensibly working for Vino, but much like Paris-Nice, I think he actually wants to win this Dauphine, let's not forget he got second last year, losing by only 7 seconds.

    Paul Seixas: Tour de France Winner 2031

    Paul Seixas could win the Tour a lot sooner than 2031. He is an incredible talent.

    Is Ivan Romeo the next Movistar GC Star?

    Week long stage races will be in his reach for GC wins. Perhaps not this year, but when he hits his prime. How long do you think he will keep the jersey? I could see him holding it until stage 7 with an all out effort. He can TT, and should be able to survive stage 6 unless Pogi decides to go...

    Juan Ayuso discussion thread

    I mean Ayuso got 3rd in the Vuelta at age 19..... was the youngest rider to grand tour a podium since 1904.

    Teams & Riders Brandon McNulty is the Next Great American Hope Thread

    Could be. If I was UAE DS, I'd keep him high up in GC to send in breakaways (quite a few stages suit his capabilities) and make other teams chase him down.

    Teams & Riders Brandon McNulty is the Next Great American Hope Thread

    I wonder if he was affected by his crash yesterday, or if he wasn't going all out, or if his shape just isn't great, but that was a mediocre TT by his standards.

    Teams & Riders Brandon McNulty is the Next Great American Hope Thread

    In terms of GC, this Giro is actually very well suited to his characteristics. Only two MTF, while having 2, albiet short TTs. But he's too far down the pecking order at UAE. Otherwise I'd like to see him go far a top 10, maybe even 5.

    Teams & Riders Brandon McNulty is the Next Great American Hope Thread

    I guess no GC McNulty for this Giro as next in line to set the pace after Majka. Wish he would take a great crack at it, but it might also just lead to disappointment.

    AJ August -- ALL ABOARD the American GC Hype Train.

    So far the comparison of "Remco but with better numbers" hasn't panned out. Looks like a decent domestique, hopefully we'll see some improvement but hard to imagine him competing with the likes of Seixas and Torres.

    La Flèche Wallonne 2025, 23rd April

    How come this race used to always end in a breakaway, but the last twenty years or so it's always a bunch uphill sprint? Did they change the course?

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

    Did not have Remco converting to Islam on my 2025 bingo card.

    Ronde van Vlaanderen 2025, one day monument, April 6 (men's)

    Did you watch him come in? He literally sat up when TB and Kung started to sprint and slow pedalled in and let the peloton catch him and pass him.

    Ronde van Vlaanderen 2025, one day monument, April 6 (men's)

    Jorgenson could have finished top ten but just slow pedaled in. Like get the points my man.
