    I don't see where the ''pride'' is? Stripping a bicycle of all components and parts to examine them is only done as a last resort, has nothing to do with pride.

    What do you mean by ''allowing'' Pogacar to win. He wins because he is better than everyone else, not because he is allowed. If Tour ratings are going down because of Pogacar's dominance, who cares? You cannot prevent a rider from winning.

    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    First off, why wasn't any of the Ineos riders asked about Rozman, but Pogacar was? Secondly, It's a slippery slope for Pogacar to answer such questions that have nothing to do with him, this will encourage other journalists to ask similar dumb questions in the future if they see that Pogacar has...

    Ayuso and Almeida, oh boy. Jonas will slap them around so bad they will forget about 1st overall and fight each other for 2nd and 3rd.

    In Pogacar's winning speech on the podium he thanked the organizers and the fans only to then close it out with ''maybe I'll be back''. :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy:

    Another yellow jersey in the books for Tadej. The palmares is starting to thicken up and the claim for 'GOAT' status is becoming more and more of a reality for every season that passes by. The ever increasing anti-doping tests doesn't faze him, he welcomes and clears them. They say he has a...

    Maybe it's lost in translation but do they mean that will Pogacar will announce that he wont race the Vuelta on Wednesday or that he haven't made his mind up and will announce his decision on Wednesday?

    It clearly says ''Pogacar não participa e o português será líder da UAE Emirates, a par do espanhol Juan Ayuso''.

    Pogacar 100% confirmed not racing the Vuelta. https://www.abola.pt/modalidades/noticias/grande-novidade-para-joao-almeida-na-volta-a-espanha-2025072807261590045 Vingegaard vs (Almeida vs Ayuso) it is.

    I'd understand the journalists reasoning if Rozman was a previous colleague to Pogacar but he's not so the only logical conslusion is that the question was asked to Pogacar because they're from the same country. Very bizarre that the journalist targeted Pogacar with such question and not Ineos...

    It's a very common tactic to get a higher salary before contract extention talks, he is just planting the seed. Otherwise I don't see any reason hint about retiring soon.

    I recommend you to watch Isaac Del Toro, the best GC rider in the pipeline. 2nd in Giro this season and he will begin to tear it up big time starting 2026.

    I prefer that Tadej carves his own path and wins races he truly enjoys instead of following the mold of other greats.

    Well, which is it, does he know him or not? This question isn't definitively answered in your post. If you're going to rely on body language interpretation, then i'll take it as a no, why? Because it's pseudoscience. Pulled Vingegaard? Tadej rode tempo and Vingegaard was comfortable sitting on...

    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    Where is the connection between Pogacar and Rozman, what makes for speculations that they know/met each other. You claim that Pogacar looked nervous off of subtle movements but refuse to acknowledge that his face looked tired throughout the 3rd week? Talk about spotting an ant from 1km but not...
