    Damn sure he goes to Vuelta. He's got two rainbow jerseys after all, so Canada is further back in the grand plan, unless some problems happens in early season. He already lost OG by skipping Paris, he's not going to get another chance for that. MSR, Tour, Vuelta must be his real...

    Lidl-Trek (no longer Radioshack-Leopard Trek)

    Really good catch if they get Gee to the team, he could be such super quality gc domestique/road captain for Ayuso and Skjelmose.

    Juanito pls take a trip to see Ricky Bobby for a month or so, get some exercise with high plains drifter. Prolly takes some, but gives some. But. Pls don't mimic his haircut, one is enough. :rolleyes:

    Giro d'Italia Rate the 2026 Giro d'Italia route

    10, because the Giro hardly ever disappoints. I'm pretty sure not even this time, teams and athletes will take care of that for sure.

    Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2026 Route: Speculation, Rumours and Announcements

    It's a trap! :D Too intimidating for Pogi and Remco. My dream scenario that they all enter except Vingo skips after stage one because of sore throat. Pogi smashes Remco (well I can accept vice versa for sure) and Vingo smashes Pogi again in the Tour (with Wout tbf but anyway).

    I'm not sure he's not interested of Euros anymore. He could take all three gt's at the moment with careful, more tactical energy saving sniperism in first two, and really working out in Vuelta. If he starts season with easier racing calendar, something like 2024, prolly would work nice that...

    Pogi is keeping it quiet just yet. My 02 cents he's going all in, all three gt's. Enjoying how others trying to grab any piece of hope, chance. Then killing it. :cool: Because after all he is always looking for a hard best competition and likes that everybody is at the startline when he wins...

    2025 UCI Gravel World Championships

    Nice little detail in Vermeersch is that no wrist computer, no bike computer and so prolly no power meter, just gut feeling looks to me. Rare these days so man seems to know himself well.

    2025 UCI Gravel World Championships

    Yeah clearly UCI have looked elsewhere in this. Then again ain't it yearly comedy tradition to see how certain national teams completely fu the potential they have for the day? :D

    2025 UCI Gravel World Championships

    I see what you mean. Personally grew out pretty much from any sort of backpacking stuff doing lotsa, more than enough, hunting and hiking around that hobby with my dad, as a kid and young man. Small amount of day long hikes with my wife acceptable and enjoyable but that's about it. Always have...
