Looking at the start list, I was impressed to see the Henao brothers as his competition, but they both crashed out. I got excited for a moment thinking that the further I read I might come across Contador’s return to the peloton as well.

Isn’t Paco still a pro? Or at least was still a pro a year or two ago.

Ivan Romeo looks like his toughest competition on paper, unless some of the Portuguese teams show up in VOLTA form, then all bets are off.

Young Big Mig?

I see Remco is in cracking form… I’ll see myself out.

He has more talent as a rider, but I wouldn’t say he’s a more talented climber than Froome or Nibali, and that’s not even mentioning Bertie.

People can say what they want about Phil, but if you pair with someone like Robbie, he can still be great to listen to.

That was me. I wasn't paying attention to who won last night.

Ironically Horner had at least shown some signs of life on the bike in the years leading up to his Vuelta win. It was a shocker, to be sure, but he had at least shown some signs of being capable in the mountains before he pulled that one out of the bag. Froome winning anything at this point...

I just want to see Enric do something more positive than failing to negotiate a stage win in Pais Vasco this season. That's my one wish.

So who is Froome gonna race for in 2026?

You aren’t going to break Jonas by riding tempo. Problem is that there isn’t much difference in acceleration between Almeida’s attacks and riding tempo.

Ciccone has always been a great climber. He just has trouble staying upright.

Sepp has found his climbing legs.

Ciccone!
