    Bravo Axel! Too often we forget the foot soldiers of the peloton, the ones who make the cycling world go round. He's a fine rider, building a nice little resume for himself. Win #9. Bravo!

    Big win, really big win for Paul Seixas. Bitter sweet, because I have always been a Landa fan and I hope that he recovers soon and gets another win before saying goodbye. Great Champion.

    Paul Seixas: Tour de France Winner 2031

    This ^^^. I would love to state otherwise, but the last time I checked, at Strade, Paul was not close. I can't wait for LBL and hope that Paul gets a little closer. I'll pop the Champagne when he slays the dragon, so tonight, I'll (only) have a beer. That one will taste good. But that's where...

    Paul Seixas: Tour de France Winner 2031

    I agree with most. A few observations: Rog doesn't stomp anymore, great champion, he will call it quit after this season. The great Primoz wouldn't get beat up like that on a perfect course for him. Remco was mentioned: I watched the Guimard podcast a couple of days ago and I agree that the...

    Teams & Riders Official Wout Van Aert thread

    I'm split between two feelings... 1. The dude is cursed. The king of heartbreaks. Turn 10% of his 2nd and 3rd place finishes and Wout is an absolute legend of the sport. 2. What a freaking rider, what a raid today, WVA is brave, tough, just days ago he split the field to get that placing in...

    Teams & Riders The "MVP" Mathieu Van der Poel Road Discussion Thread

    When Poupou said that Mathieu was better than him, I thought that it was guided by love but not real: Poulidor is a legend. I'm starting to think that the old man was right. MDVP is a throw back rider, tough as nails...what a rider. He is what cycling is all about: a warrior on the road. He's...

    Paris-Nice 2026, March 8-15

    Good week for cycling, it's great to see Jonas hungry, the only one who can somewhat compete with Teddy. Bravo Lenny! The Seixas hype is cool, but Lenny or Romain are great riders too. French cycling is in a good shape with them and we even have a sprinter with Magnier. But for this week, Jonas...

    Paul Seixas: Tour de France Winner 2031

    I just went to that forum, read the last three pages, and I couldn't find any such post, just a couple wondering if Isaac let him get the second place in a classy act, due to all the work that Paul had done...more were lamenting that we never got to see how it unfolded. In any case, now we know...

    Who will be the next new tour de France winner ?

    After today, I feel like changing my pick, but I stick with Remco. If the route is designed to his strength, he can beat Pogacar. I can't say that for the others. As long as Tadej is in his prime, "no way Jose", Joao, Juan, Jemco. It will take another 2-3-4-5 years before he fades. The...

    Paul Seixas: Tour de France Winner 2031

    Definitely. Paul Seixas has to be in the favorites or at the very least as a solid outsider of pretty much every race that he enters. Big win today. Again.

    Who will be the next new tour de France winner ?

    Who would not want the goodies first before they pay? You got it backwards in my opinion. Give Remco 100km of ITT. The problem is that Pogacar is here and he was not in '12, I get that. But that Tour was taylor-made for Wiggo. Be real.
