Obviously. I think his peak was 2019-2022. Can't vote for that.

Widar takes gold in the ECC U23 RR.

What was true for regular road racing, was much more true for time trialing in that era of cycling. In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. Half the peloton smoked two packs of cigarettes a day, the other half put alcohol in their bidon. The one that stumbled upon a somewhat sensible...

Bruyneel has acknowledged he was talking out the side of his neck when he said Evenepoel was thinking about doing the WHR soon. Somebody must have reached out to him and told him he was full of crap. Those WEDU / The Move podcasts are really tough to listen to. One dumb take after another. Now...

Belgian team has removed all the spare wheels from the car to make room for spare saddles.

His wife made him. Ba-dum-tshhh

He doesn't come from a cycling background, and i fear he or his parents are a bit too oblivious to how cycling careers unfold. He is being managed by a football manager, and his "transfers" are very football-esque in a way. In football you see young players move to teams sometimes for half a...

Arpanet is generally seen as the birth of Internet. Computers could send messages from one side of the world to another. If you owned a university and your wife owned a military base, you could in theory tell her you would be home late for dinner.

Wow, ever, in the many many seasons of his long long career you mean? Of which he was able to ride a full 1 season without physical issues. That is indeed amazing. I have no idea what the Campenaerts reference is about. He has won WT races regardless of not being a GC rider. Do you not consider...

Would you have said the same a week before news broke that he was leaving Bora? Because imho not much has changed, he still has the same potential he had then if he is able to overcome his physical issues. He's still only 22. Or are you saying this because you dislike him or assume his bad...

In the case of Van der Poel, that is very different for a few reasons. First of all a lot of people (both sides of the border) consider him a Belgian as much as a Dutchman. Born here, raised here, lives here, works here, talks Flemish, races in a Flemish team, has a Belgian wife/girlfriend...

You have been making a lot of anti-Belgian generalisations over the years. Whether it was triggered by media/Roglic or not, at least please be aware of that. I don't see you lash out vs Wielerflits which is arguably the biggest click bait cycling news site on the planet. But anyway, i agree that...

Dutch and Belgian media know these things very quickly. Basically, if they see it as beneficial to their cause, they will leak it and it will be an article on HLN and Wielerflits before they put the phone down. The fact that it didn't leak here simply means everybody was happy with the deal.

More evidence that Visma is just as much (if not more) ok with this. Else it would definitely have leaked.

I think it was because Visma isn't willing to send him to bigger races as a leader at this point. So he in his mind has no other choice but to leave. Or they really did cluck up with his injury.
