    Only Mancebo and Sevilla might be ruled out then.

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    People underestimate the preparation he has to do before doing all the monuments and switching to Tour preparation. It is grueling. Like he is already riding at the PR roads... It is not like he is doing nothing when he is not racing. I definitely want him to be at his best for the most...

    Jay Vine discussion thread

    I dont think he needs to change teams or that not doing Tour is the end or be all here. Im sure he would like to ride it at some point, but I would like to see it is that he is "only" 30 also. That he started quite late or had a different way into a cycling career matters here. He might more...

    They were just doing group rides with other UAE riders, Omrzel and couple of other pro riders that were there. It is a chill time of the year, where the weather is nice and you can ride your bike. Then they did some solo and separate stuff as well judging by her posts. It aint deeper than that.

    Teams & Riders The Remco Evenepoel is the next Eddy Merckx thread

    Dani M has three GC wins, two of them being Dauphine and Basque. Finished 5th in the 2021 Giro, supporting Bernal. Hardly a huge surprise that a guy with experience, who can climb and TT, could have a very good race and finishing on the podium. Essentially, being best of the rest among similar...

    They cant, if he doesnt follow them and gets pushed back. They end up scattered and looking around where he is. Wondering what happened.

    Teams & Riders The Remco Evenepoel is the next Eddy Merckx thread

    Remco has age on his side vs Vinge though. There is a chance Remco could improve a little bit in new environment. That it could be really close sooner rather than later. Question is if it will be enough. I guess one could also argue for how long Vinge can or will be motivated to be at "top...

    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    He was sick in 2023, I believe. At least one year he had a mouth sore. Usually happens when immune systems is down. He was sick this year as well, no? I believe most riders are coughing and have light fevers towards the end of any GT, anyway. Most dont make a big deal out of it. Three weeks of...
