DFM being sabotaged by his own domestiques, so he's not the true leader either.

Magagnotti with his first step towards World domination!

He's a bit like a medium-mountain Temu version of Superman Lopez. Can hang with or beat the best on a very good day.

We need more riders to lose their minds.

I know it's tempting to try to jinx riders you don't have, but come on! :D He's barely halfway to profit yet.

Nice to see them still prioritizing Frenchmen. Jegat will probably be seen as a result-getter in smaller hilly/climby races instead of primarily being signed as a domestique. Decathlon have lost/gotten rid of a lot of those kinds of riders in recent years: Baudin, Cosnefroy, Lafat, Berthet...

Just watched the replay of the stage. Was a pretty good one, but the only thing I really felt compelled to come here and comment on was how great Carapaz looks on a bike when he's attacking. Now you just went and made my idea look very un-spontaneous. :D

I was aware of niggling health issues, like recurring back pain etc. which lowered my enthusiasm for him even more. I can't remember reading about knee problems, but I wasn't going to pick him anyway so I didn't research him that much. He did miss some CX races early on I think, which could have...

Only thing missing are some Asgreen watt bombs.

Nobody followed him, so it didn't matter. If he had someone in his wheel, it would have hurt Valgren for sure. The gap wasn't that big in the end. But maybe he would have come to his senses if that was the case.

Pellizzari doing a great job for Roglic!

Go Valgren!

Trademark Alaphilippe leg shake!

Buitrago looks significantly sharper today.

If he didn't crush these guys, there'd be serious cause for concern.
