Im a Primoz mega fan but to be honest for 2025 Rogla is not good, very hard for him, a *** but explosive parcours like 2025 Vuelta would have been better. He will need to rediscover 2023 level or at least 2024 Vuelta shape to be the favourite versus Almeida and company… Seems complicated but...

Exactly, Roglic rarely gives his all without the guarantee of gaining significant time on a rival when the race is very close (last year's Volta a Catalunya is the exception, and I think that's because he was frustrated with the intermediate sprints). And that was clearly seen at Lo Port. In my...

Hope so! Although for me he should do other type of schedule, more 🇮🇹 and 🇪🇸 .1 and . Pro races with some 🇧🇪 hilly races not suitable for sprinters.

https://www.wielerflits.nl/nieuws/red-bull-ziet-danny-van-poppel-puur-als-sprinter-geen-tour-maar-giro-voor-eigen-kansen/ It was pretty clear that Van Poppel would be a sprinter in 2026 after his strong 2025, but some things in this article surprise me. We were recently wondering if Marit would...

In fact, Jordi Meeus did have his best season of his career in terms of number of wins and PCS Points. Van Poppel also scored 4 wins (vs 0 of Marit)and more UCI points despite being a domestique or leadout man in some races. So it makes no sense for Marit to be above either of them. In fact...

I don't know if a rider like Roglic knows how to compete only for stages, losing time beforehand. He's never done it, and I don't see it in his DNA, just as I didn't see it in Valverde. The reality is that last year even arriving a bit out of shape after the Giro and the antibiotics, he focused...

To sum it up, yes, I'd say he's a puncheur like Roger Adrià, but maybe a bit faster and a bit worse at climbing. In the Spanish amateur scene he was one of the most versatile riders I've seen in recent years. Furthermore, he doesn't seem to be very advanced in his development (although this is...

Regarding Remco and the Monuments, I never understand why he doesn't ride the MSR; the power climbs, the flat section between them (and after the Poggio), and the distance suit him perfectly. He'll probably have some problems with positioning on the Cipressa and especially with his sprint...

Roglic: could still be the third best or in total decline, nobody really knows after all the problems that started at the Giro. Remco: His absolute best seems to have no equal in this list besides100% Roglic (in my opinion), but with him you can never know if he has his GT and climbing legs...

No info about Pringle? Giving Putz another year (decent all-rounder and domestique but nothing crazy) but not to the kiwi seems strange.

Wakefield is finally promoted to performance director, a move far more significant than any staff change in recent years.

If he makes the podium yes, but I think is more realistic a place between 5th and 9th than a podium, not because prime/decline reason just becuase I think he'll take a risk and go full throttle on the Ganda Pass to be in the fight and he'll explode a bit if he has to chase with Remco for...

A pity that Primoz is not riding today in Piemonte to be rested for Lombardia, this year parcours is quite godd for him and is definitely in enough shape to contest the win here, also that Oropa one day race in Sunday was a perfect opportunity for him to raise the arms (or stop the powermeter...

He will be with the best riders behind Pogi in Ganda (he is in much decent shape than you and others claim) but he will blew up trying to follow Remco in the flat due to the legnth of the course and the crazy power and aerodinamic of Remco there. A similar perfomance to Ayuso the other day in...

1. Pogacar 2. Remco 3. Pidcock 4. Del Toro 5. Roglic
