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

    No, Pogačar is also a beast on 5-8% gradients and 20 minute efforts, he will likely destroy everyone on that stage, Remco included.

    Moustache Man Morgado

    Good to start the season with a win already in January. Morgado started working with Javier Sola last off-season so I expect him to improve epecially on the climbs. Doing a GT should also be very good for his development.

    MVDP in cross is more dominant than Klaebo. He hasn't lost a race in over two years and has won all kinds of CX races (sandy, muddy, over flat terrain, hilly terrain) while Klaebo has never won an individual skating race even without the Russians competing in the last couple of seasons. One can...

    Exactly the same top4 as yesterday but today was a walk in the park for Van der Poel.

    I don't know if Klæbo is the best skier ever but I am glad Hedegart focused on XC skiing this season because he has a good chance of beating Klæbo in the 10k and prevent a clean sweep like last year.

    Tour Down Under 2026 (Men's, Jan. 20-25)

    Finally Brennan wins. Tough race for UAE with Narvaez and Bjerg both getting injured, fortunately Vine managed to avoid injures (despite the kangaroo scare) and take the overall win.

    Surprised to see Schumacher getting second in a very good sprint field but he seems to be establishing himself as the best American male skier.

    1-2-3 for Alpecin Van der Poel takes the win after overcoming two punctures, he really earned this one. Nys made too many mistakes once again.

    Amundsen-Hedegart duo with a dominant win in the team sprint today over Italy's Barp-Pellegrino. At this point it would be pretty dumb if the Norwegians don't send one of them with Klæbo for the team sprint as Valnes has been garbage in skating races all year and the Italians will be super...

    Tour Down Under 2026 (Men's, Jan. 20-25)

    Great power demonstration from the UAE guys, Vine in particular looked sublime.

    - Pogacar to win Tour, Worlds and one out Roubaix or Sanremo - Van der Poel to win at least one monument and Omloop - Remco to win a monument, a one week stage race and podium the Tour - Roglic and Van Aert to not get injured during the road season - Almeida to win the Giro or the Vuelta -...

    Yup, it ended up helping guys like Nys or Orts over the better sand riders like Del Grosso, Vandeputte or Aerts. Having said that, it was a joy to watch Orts getting on that podium.

    Yes, I think that he is a future World Cup overall winner. Tough luck for Stadlober today, losing by just 0.7 seconds to Ilar.

    First ever World Cup win for Lars Heggen. Sundling winning in the women's as expected but Rydzek managed to give her a good fight.

    Samuelsson and Giacomel looking like the two most in shape male biathletes at the moment. The Norwegians are really slow at the moment, Frey got his first career podium but he got towed by Samuelsson for two laps.
