    Oier Lazkano

    Yeah, unless the delegation thing is the case, this is very much like having the goat guard the sack of oats. (A small treat for you because I know you enjoy foreign idioms :D )

    Teams & Riders NSN Cycling

    Probably because it's a cyrillic i. So I'm going to pronounce the team name NSI. I hate those marketing gimmick spellings. I also refuse to spell Iphone with the lower-case i. Yes, I'm fun at parties.

    Looked great in his first month back after suspension in 2023, then has been completely useless ever since. But perhaps coming back home to Colpack is what he needs.

    Mental or random cycling statistics

    Saronni obviously is, but he only had one TDF participation, which was a DNF. Girardengo also one participation which also was a DNF while Olmo never rode the Tour. So the statistic isn't really that interesting considering they never even tried or had much opportunity to win Tour de France...

    2024-26 Emerging Riders CQ game

    I should have doubled down on the 2nd year juniors and picked AWP too, not just Seixas. But Seixas is leading that race so far. Mine and @SafeBet's teams in 1st and 2nd place are remarkably similar. It's just Widar, Fredheim and Seixas for me vs Arrieta, Nerurkar and AWP for SafeBet. At the...

    Ben O'Connor: Baby face becomes conqueror

    Random anglo media content generation. Also the route does O'Connor no favours. Pretty much just one massive grindy mountain stage and lots of explosive/lighter stuff. To be fair, there aren't that many exciting guys not on the biggest teams, so Cyclingnews might as well pick an Anglophone...

    Still strange how he wasn't retained by Jayco. Unless they knew something which meant Portugal was always going to be a likely destination.

    Teams & Riders Inter Lotto Marché

    Having a two-year contract. But I guess some other departures had a contract for 2026 as well.

    How many sprinters do you want in your team? Yes.

    Maybe in 2-3 years Decathlon is one of the giants.
