    Future GT Winner (Edition 2025)

    This ^^^ Seixas is a bit of wishful thinking at this point, but what a talent! The other two can win a Pogacar-less GT right now. Joao exceeded my expectations at this Vuelta, much closer to Jonas than I anticipated. Florian was amazing at this year's Tour. They are the two at the moment.

    Teams & Riders Julian Alaphilippe Discussion Thread

    Hopefully, but I don't want to get carried away. Big race, big performance, big win, big champion. Having been in so many important races, having won so many, he always had a great cycling IQ, so in the end it comes down to the form of the day, and if it's there, Julian will always be...

    Paul Seixas: Tour de France Winner 2031

    In some remote part of the world, Seixas means champion, and it's pronounced "win" :cool: . In French it is: pronounced: "Allez Paul!" $ex @s is in Remco territory...the hopes of a country, it is scary...love and respect to Remco for handling this $hit. Paul, be ready...It is Remco territory...

    Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 6: Olot – Pal, 170.3k

    Someone strong in the break can spoil the party, make it to the end. Except that there's no Simon Yates. .. My bet? Jonas Vingegaard will do to the others what Teddy Merckx did to him not too long ago: he needs it, he wants it, set the record straight. I see him go Cobra Kai mode in this...

    Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 5: Figueres – Figueres, 24.1k (TTT)

    Visma-Ineos ftw, FdJ will do OK. This one is too short, but I'm glad to see TTT back again, it's close to disappearing in GTs, it's the design piece that no one seems to get, it can dictate team compositions... Visma will do great, Jonas has to control The Bag. It's his to lose.

    David Gaudu discussion thread

    Bravo David! The biggest win of his career: a tactical masterpiece. From the front group, GC group, group of the group. Essentially outsprinting Mads and the race favorite... it's a massive win. Bravo David! What if he finally puts it together?

    Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 3: San Maurizio Canavese – Ceres (134.6k)

    Can Jonas make it two in a row and be The New Pogacar? Bravo! Go Jonas! If I'm him, I destroy the race from start to finish, set the record straight.

    My top ten, on talent

    For me, "talent" is used when a rider shows a complete mastery of the fundamentals, the term is often associated with young riders showing promise. Sometimes riders who compete against stronger riders demonstrate insane biking, IQ skills, often they will be over achievers. If that is the...

    Tour de France Femmes 2025 (July 26th- August 3rd)

    This ^^^ Yes, it was a feeling that the French public hadn't felt in a long time, it was like Andy Murray winning at Wimbledon for the English. If you are shocked, wait for the next time that Brazil wins a World Cup. You'll see what overreacting really means. Men will become Gods. The French...
