Good to have the confirmation that there is no alien in this team

Quite strong, quite young, quite french

Maybe this thread could be renamed Gros Magnier 😁

You're a bit optimistic. All his rivals know well how to get rid of him. A single downhill, a bit long and technical, could be enough to knock him off the top5. I'd like to be wrong. Images of Zakarine and Reichenbach during past giros come back to me.

Voted top5. He can do it. I see only Pogi/MVDP/Wout better than him (to less extent F Vermeersch)

His participation is so much more interesting than Pogi's. Thank you Remco. This will fuel pre-race discussions, which is as important as the race itself.

Thanks for this detailed reply. I agree with you that any specialist who claims to know the physiological limits of human beings is not "serious". This is the main flaw of many people who want to fight against cheaters. To get back to PS, I am also convinced that this day at Faune he was flying...

Yes exactly. He said that the whole peloton performance during this climb in Faune Ardeche was better than during EC, which could be the sign of better conditions. In fact I was questioning myself if even with 20 watts less, Seixas performance still places him at a comparable level to Jonas.....

I don't know about details of your calculation of Seixas performance, but I've seen a calculation from a reliable source which considers a difference of 20 watts(std watts 70 kg) compare to Pogi performance during the 2025 EC. Because of wind favorable for him versus headwind for Pogi.

Yes, partly because all eyes are fixed on another young rider whose initials are PS. Let see how it goes in the season as Lenny is often very strong at the start of the season.

Or it might make him nothing......

IDT, Ayuso, Seixas, correct me if I forget someone ?

Unless the goal is to have an excuse for tomorrow's failure. The fall will make that excuse even more valid.

He counts on Campenaerts to tell him the secret of the moustache

The power of the moustache is on board for these first stages, who will be next tomorrow?
