    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    I have no idea whether Pogacar will be stronger than Vingegaard in the mountains, but it seems clear to me that Pogi is convinced he will be. I've never seen him so relaxed. He doesn't seem preoccupied with making up time in these early stages, although he has done so, and is just enjoying...

    Tour de France Tour de France 2025, Stage 5: Caen – Caen (33.0k, ITT)

    They normally alter the starting order to prevent such conflicts of interest. So expect Jorgenson to start before Vauquelin

    Commentary on TNT and other WB brands

    I've been subscribing via Discoveryplus since Spring 2024. I cast it from my iPad onto the television (being 9 years old, it doesn't have a functioning Discovery plus app!) Not only do we have adverts, but now everytime there is an advertising break, the connection with the television breaks...

    Commentary on TNT and other WB brands

    I have noticed in the past that in the "upcoming" section, they don't always put both adverts and non adverts as options. But on the day, there are always both. I've just seen the Tour Presentation using the non-advert stream. I'd be astonished if they don't give us both options and would be a...

    It was very striking last year when UEA won the team competition that no one mentioned Ayuso or paid him any credit for being part of the team during the podium ceremony or afterwards. Not even mentioned. Even someone as often egregious as Lance Armstrong paid tribute to Tricky Beltran in 2025...

    Critérium du Dauphiné 2025, June 8 - 15

    Healy knows full well that he can't compete for GC. So he is doing the intelligent thing of losing time, so he won't be prevented from getting in the early breakaway. A fairly standard tactic, surely? Watch out for stage 5.

    Commentary on TNT and other WB brands

    In the past, I thought Rob Hatch was quite good but he has degenerated recently, or perhaps I was just wrong before! I don't doubt his love for the sport, but has no understanding of tactics. And his hyperbolic injections are increasingly absurd. "The breakaway has 1 minute 44 seconds. Can they...

    Cunego's win in 2004 was very impressive. 4 stage wins! Did you even see it Cycling111?? And as for Remco's third place last year, it was a superb performance! I do wonder whether some of you even watch races!

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

    Odds reflect what money is being bet! It is not a prediction by the bookies, it is strategy so the bookies make money long term. Odds are driven by punters

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

    What is sometimes forgotten is that Vingegaard is two years older than Pogacar and the former will turn 29 this year. My feeling is that Pogacar is nearing his physical prime, or may be has reached it ... I doubt he can improve physically much more. The interesting question is whether...

    In what sense it is a joke? Stage 7 is one that calls for a good climbing team for example

    Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2025, stage 1: Durrës - Tirana (160.0k)

    Posh?? Phil Liggett has a Merseyside accent. Nothing remotely posh about him. A complete driveling idiot as well!

    Adam had Covid during the TdF last year.

    Bernal vs. Pogacar vs. Evenepoel

    It is difficult to assess Kenyan runners these days, given the stupendous numbers failing tests that we can only discuss in The Clinic
