    Teams & Riders Official Wout Van Aert thread

    I was surprised to see how composed he was yesterday during the whole race. Being in front at the right times, attacking at the right time, pulling at the right times, not pulling at the right times and starting his sprint at the right time. An unexpected tactical masterclass. * Being in front...

    Most overrated (good) rider in the peloton?

    I voted for Ayuso, but easily could have voted for Pidcock as well. It was a coin flip for me. I understand why people mention De Lie and Nys but they are more considered outsiders than favorites in bigger races.

    Teams & Riders The Red Bull - Bora - Hansgrohe team thread

    I wonder what this will mean for Pellizzari. Everyone is focusing on Lipowitz and Evenepoel, but I assume both will get their fair share of chances as both have already podiumed the Tour. With Roglic still on board and being the possible leader for both Giro and Vuelta, Pellizzari may be the odd...

    Thank you for mentioning Alcala! Been a long time since I've heard his name and I always liked him as a rider.

    Teams & Riders Arnaud De Lie is De Truth Discussion Thread

    Of course I won't give up on him, he's too talented for that. But he hasn't many big wins currently, only Québec in 23 and the national championship in 24. Still no stage wins in grand tours and so far Omloop 23 is his only podium in the cobbled classics. I really hope he will have luck on his...

    Teams & Riders Arnaud De Lie is De Truth Discussion Thread

    I really like the guy, but I'm getting a lot of van Aert vibes. Yesterday another mechanical at Le Samyn and then he was hindered by Hofstetter in the sprint. It seems that something always happens in one day races that suits him. And just like van Aert it seems that he often underperforms a...
