Gosh, of course I meant Rinero! 🤣 Total brain error!

Yeah, he needs to be rested and rebuilded to tackle Vingegaard at the 2026 Giro d'Italia together with Almeida. They can give Vingegaard a true fight in combination if they're fit.

If Titema gets a Tour de France invitation Uijtdebroeks should have taken the big gamble and gone there to grow with them as team leader!

I think the Lampe & Saeco thing was more handled like when Bruyneel jumped into Astana with Discovery Channel / former US Postal and had riders still contracted to his company so brought Contador & Leipheimer with him.

Lappartient is nothing more than a marionette! That's why he's the ideal UCI president for ASO

Skil-Shimano actually rode an very active 2009 Tour de France. Both ASO & public were very pleased with their performance back then! RAGT had Christophe Rinero who aimed at some sort of return after his never matched 4th place at the 1998 Tour de France. BigMat actually had Lilian LeBreton who...

No gravel course today in the Netherlands!

Wasn't Decathlon interested in him!?

Hayter already dropped in Drenthe!?

THAT is even worse than what I thought I knew about that 2021 Giro d'Italia cold start!

Yes. I think he sums it up accurately as well. If a police officers order gets ignored twice they will put the driver in custody. In Germany the then upcoming lawsuit could be enough to lose your drivers license due to character non-aptitude. Dunno if that exists in the Netherlands as well or...

https://www.wielerflits.nl/nieuws/thijs-rondhuis-messcherp-tegen-ploegleiders-nibc-tour-of-holland-dit-kan-zonder-politie-niet/ Good statement by the race organization!

I agree with everything Bobbie Traksel said about it at the start of the Eurosport coverage! Wouldn't even surprise me if later on the disqualification gets declared unjustified, because Van Schip indeed can show that his setup has been given okay by the UCI before. But by that time of course...

This was actually a thrilling TT to watch. Nice course over small roads. Lots of twists and turns. Decent coverage which made you follow a race rather than just seeing random shots of riders on a TT bike. Already was surprised to see Laporte beating the strong time of Hoole. Then Hayter...

That's more crazy than the mistakes made with Evenepoel. Development of a sprinter / classics jewel like Magnier is what has been Quick Step's key kill!
