    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    Hinault never physically burned out. He wasn’t the same rider after his knee injury but he was still the 2nd strongest rider in the world when he hung up his bike, and probably would’ve still been the strongest had he continued in 1987 after LeMond was shot.

    cautious Optimism for Enric. Not getting my hopes up yet but this Vuelta weather has got to be helpful.

    Tour de France Tour de France 2025 Stage 15: Muret – Carcassonne (169.3k)

    They sent their more interesting team to the Giro (except Simmons). Maybe not more talented, but much more aggressive and well rounded.
