    One can hope he takes a crack at it soon.

    World Championship 2025: Men’s ITT, September 21

    Remco is a prodigy and an absolute beast in the Flats.

    GC Power Ranking

    The 2025 GTs are done, so these would be my picks for the 2026 GC power ranking: 1) Pogacar 2) Vingegaard 3) Almeida 4) Remco 5) Lipowitz 6) Roglic 7) Del Toro 8) Carapaz 9) Onley 10) Felix Gall The top6 are a lock (doubtful between Almeida and Remco), Del Toro and Carapaz seem right, but then...

    João Almeida - Bota Lume

    If there isn't a Pogacar, Vingegaard or a super Remco in the race, João Almeida might still be the favourite. Regardless, if you're competing for at least podium in a GT, your team has to back you up.

    Vuelta a España Vuelta 2025, stage 20: Robledo de Chavela - Bola del Mundo - Puerto de Navacerrada (164.8 km)

    Amazing Vingegaard. He made it clear that he is a level above all else. Even tired, he's clearly the strongest overall in 3 week races, other than Pogacar. Victory well deserved. Great job by João Almeida. He's a fantastic domestique but he has a lot to learn and evolve if he ever wants to win...

    Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 19: Rueda - Guijuelo (161.9 km)

    Visma is not the best Team in the world for nothing. Great job by Visma and Vingegaard. They deserve the win.

    Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 16: Poio/Poyo – Castro de Herville/Erville (167.9k)

    This is getting out of hand. It's absolutely unacceptable to have this twice in a GT. Bilbao was already bad, but this is even worse because this is a mountain finish. The spanish police have to work harder to disband these protests.

    Vuelta a España Angliru climbing time

    In 2023 the Angliru was lead by Bahrain and Visma. Multiple riders pulling. In 2025 it was all UAE, and Almeida pulled all the way from 6km to the top.

    Juan Ayuso discussion thread

    Is hell gonna freeze? Ayuso pulling in the peloton in the penultimate climb, for 2,7km. He got about 2 full minutes back from the break. The peloton is now around 15 men. Good job.

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

    How can anyone not be impressed with Vingegaard? He's not an alien for nothing. This guy is a beast. Yesterday he didn't have the legs to attack, but he also didn't let the wheel go even 1 meter at any point. In fact, after so many stages in the Vuelta, the only time he showed weakness was...

    João Almeida - Bota Lume

    Lets see if that turns out to be true or not. When I heard that yesterday i couldn't believe how publicly Matxin was admiting to have thrown away the first half of the Vuelta (GC wise). However, having guys on breaks is a good thing IF they are not focused on the victory. Visma does this a lot...

    Vuelta a España Angliru climbing time

    Exactly. In PdB (Tour 2024) Visma + Vingegaard + Pogacar did a TTT up the mountain. In Ventoux (Tour 2025) it was the same thing. And yesterday it was a UAE TTT... but in this case Vingegaard's job was breathing on João Almeida's neck. It was just enough to push João Almeida to his career...
