    I Hate to do this but Brad Wiggins

    He's dirty. Full stop. Sky was absurdly and obviously doped to the gills and he was their horse for one Tour. That paint doesn't wash off.

    I'm inclined to agree. It's every bit as impressive as it is boring.

    2025 WC: Thread for all the women's races + Mixed Relay

    I watched this morning, but didn't comment 'til now. I'll keep it simple - I love that Vallieres won. She took her shot and it paid off. Kudos to the new world champ!

    Teams & Riders The Great Big Cycling Transfers, Extensions, and Rumours Thread

    About the Remco situation, I'd just glad that it's done and out in the open. Now he can go to a team that will actually put in the effort to build for GC and give him an environment where he can discover if there's anymore improvement to be mined. And Quick-Step can go back to what they've...

    Teams & Riders The Great Big Cycling Transfers, Extensions, and Rumours Thread

    I'm reading that the Remco transfer is pretty much done. And that he's considered a legitimate contender for the Tour. So, what the hell are they watching that the rest of us aren't? I'm sure he can improve a bit more, but he's not coming close to Tadej or Jonas, IMHO.

    Teams & Riders The "MVP" Mathieu Van der Poel Road Discussion Thread

    All those armchair experts who like to complain that vdP doesn't do enough at the Tour must be full by now from all the crow they've been eating this year.

    Ben Healy is not another Benny Hill but excels in hilly terrain

    My DNA is majority Irish, so I'm loving see him in yellow. It ain't gonna last, but it's quite enjoyable at the moment.

    First rest day poll - who will win the 2025 tour de France?

    Voted Pogi. Jumbo looks great, but Vino won't be able to distance Pogi. UAE looks just ok, but even Pogi with a disadvantage will be enough to deliver.

    Team Ineos Discussion thread

    Good news for the team, bad news for the sport. Any further on my part would require moving to a different sub-forum.

    Sadly. I was hoping he was gone for good.

    Teams & Riders Official Wout Van Aert thread

    Another phenomenal GT performance that leaves his fans conflicted. He's a helluva helper, but there isn't a "thanks, mate, you were great" column on one's career achievements.
