Dumb move Almeida. Now Gall and Onley will work with Vauquelin instead of with you.

Broadcast will start when the climb is over :tearsofjoy:

I don't see Widar 's top in climbing be better than Evenepoel's tbh. But he probably will crash less and have less issues with his weight.

I doubt Widar will turn out better than Evenepoel, but he might have the luck of racing against easier competition. We'll see.

In his case, we're talking about 2-3 kilos between his regular spring weight to his GT weight. That's not like some other riders who lose double that or more. As to why he can't be closer to his ideal weight? Probably his metabolism is a bit different, and i also think a lot of it comes from...

Interview before the U23 Giro with very bad audio. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Tkzkh8b8ME

Every pro cyclist is more heavy in the off season and gradually loses weight towards their goals. That's totally fine. It's when he does it like last year, between Dauphiné and Tour, that it becomes a big risk.

Regarding age (follow up to the discussion we had yesterday) Finn is only a year younger than Widar, while Tuckwell is a year and a half older than Widar. Just a simple observation, not making a point for or against whatever.

If you hear a faint gurgling sound, that's me choking Horner.

Between them they won 7 Grand Tours so it makes sense they would get dropped together.

By 1 second. Completely different climb.

At this point i don't know how much sense it makes to start comparing every 18 or 19 year old to the best 18 or 19 year olds that burst onto the pro scene. We've had quite a few young riders the past few years. Ayuso doesn't seem to have improved at all since 2022. Uijtdebroeks surely hasn't...

It's very hard to argue against Roglic being a more consistent climber, lol. Evenepoel simply has a high ceiling, which was my point, but he so rarely hits it because of injuries/rehab, crashes (during the race), sickness (covid, pollen, whatever) and lastly and most frequently, his weight. As...

It's not just UAE, also Bora, QuickStep, Ineos, Decathlon come to mind that messed up. Especially those that had nobody in the break. Teams that came here with basically a certain top 10 in GC, have now invited riders that were very likely not going to try and go for a GC at first, but now very...
