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!

I agree that by the time his career is over Tadej will have surpassed Hinault, but he’s not there yet.

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.

Delgado, Fignon, Riis, Roche, Kelly, Sastre, you could even sort of argue Hinault in 1986…

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

Come on enric

This. Who is rated behind Pogacar is kind of irrelevant.
