I don't take much from most winning team, I will draw some conclusions that UAE stallions are out rolling around drinking coffee, enjoying pastry as training for classics and TDF and Remco is out there drilling it, he is really flying, guy is already at an awesome level. January intensity. Will...

I love your optimism but I would be surprised more if expansion number was above 2 teams, with none international based. And the numbers are not transparent at this point , a game in Australia, Argentina or Germany, England costs how much and how many people subscribe to NFL package on some...

If you watch when he goes, stands up, not long, wicks it just a little, nobody answers and he just goes full spin class, gets his gap doesn't get crazy, doesn't get aggressive and he just sits down and gets to work. Gets a selection and jumps, doesn't try to destroy anyone ( on purpose).. guy...

From the video I have seen he looks very relaxed on the bike, doesn't appear physically smaller or bigger than at his best. His available interviews are measured and positive. Guy is flying. January, February he is already putting positive steps together for TDF.. Bora looks very organized..

I hope that is sarcasm. He is now 22 years old, hasn't done anything positive since 2022 Aveneir. In and out of turmoil with teammates, management, career direction, health. He has been exposed to dozens of people who could have given advice. Going downstream is illogical in my opinion and at...

https://www.domestiquecycling.com/en/features/tour-de-france-2025-prize-money-full-breakdown-and-key-figures/ Absolutely crushing, hours raced over 3 weeks and winner gets tiny fraction of other top athletes. LeBron James makes $850,000+.....per week... Per week...

I often watch other sports with absolute heartbreak like Farmers Insurance golf tournament in San Diego.. https://www.golfdigest.com/story/heres-prize-money-payout-for-each-golfer-at-2026-farmers-insurance-open The winner got @$1.7 million for 3 days of play.. And speaking of Down Under...

I never did find out how much start money they paid for the 4,5 man up races in Andorra https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/primoz-roglic-tops-tadej-pogacar-isaac-del-toro-and-jonas-vingegaard-at-andorra-cycling-masters/

Nowhere near doing a grand tour.. Start money for TDF is less than @$70,000 dollars. Less for Giro and less for Vuelta. Don't know what they pay for TDU but likely only a few thousand dollars and all the spiffs like transport and lodging. I will see if I can find start money figures for Tour...

I second this opinion

This is a logical opinion, I agree with it but also winning is an experience on it's own. Smaller teams with less funding, less depth in my opinion should target races to win rather than constantly show up to be matched against A squads from UAE, Visma, Alpecin, Trek.. Go to smaller races and...

In my opinion it's really unfortunate that Bauke Mollema will age out and retire as Juan Ayuso starts with Trek. I am a big fan of Mollema as a racer and sportsman. I really hope that Trek puts him seamlessly, immediately in some leadership role for young riders and if Trek doesn't, some other...

View: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KodNIP4jBfE&pp=ygUfQmFkIGJ1bm55IG5vdCBwYWlkIGZvciBoYWxmdGltZQ%3D%3D It's mind boggling some of the upside potential to individuals and brands, franchises. NFL is literally in turbo promotion mode pulling out all the stops to market their product. I thought...

They could leverage Mendoza down the road but why? Bird in the hand. Raiders need some infrastructure and an elite quarterback and supporting cast can all be achieved by exercising logical draft pick. If it ends up being reality Raiders getting coaches and quarterback in one action would be...

Certainly in most cases in the US the medical legal framework ( HIPA) and the players union probably have most public disclosure of someone's medical records out of bounds. Majority of professional sports have internal mechanisms for PED use. No other sport other than cycling would use crazy...
