    Teams & Riders The Remco Evenepoel is the next Eddy Merckx thread

    I don't really get why people argue over this guy so much. He's clearly an amazing tt specialist. He has never shown anything to suggest he can challenge an in form Pogi or Vinge in a GT but he has also struggled with tons of long term injuries in his career. Get a really solid winter without...

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    Nah, and there's not much more he could do for polka but for green he seemed to almost purposefully not get to far ahead in the intermediate sprint 2 or 3 days ago. Taking it as a sign that he really doesn't care about it.

    Unipuerto stage and we're slowly heading towards late august. Easy Vuelta podium confirmed.

    Looks solid and in control for yellow. Too bad that he seems to not want to do a yellow/green/polka treble :D

    Florian Lipowitz is the new German GC hope discussion thread

    Maybe joining the sport late and therefore having his breakthrough in his mid 20s rather than as a 19 year old will be a benefit to him as far as being able to handle media pressure.

    Tour de France Tour de France 2025 Stage 14: Pau – Luchon Superbagnères (182.6k)

    Hoping for a crazy stage where Lidl fights for the points 70km in and Visma goes for a *** it lets roll charge on the tourmalet.

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    Looking back at 2024 I'm still super impressed by Vingegaard's recovery and participation in the tour and think it was an extraordinary feat. I still have strong hopes for a highly competitive (if injury free) 2025 tour de france.

    UAE Tour Strade MSR -insert a race here perhaps- RVV Ardennes Doesn't have to be many race days, but I do concede that if he truly wants to go for a MSR win at 100% shape it might be a long spring peaking wise.

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    Hope the UAE classics team will be prepared for MSR next year. I'm not convinced a tour against a fully fit and injury free Vinge will in any way be easy but MSR does seem like his biggest obstacle (racing wise) from a potentially "perfect" 2025. Races to win: MSR RVV Ardennes treble (?) TDF...

    A lot of people here has clearly forgot the climbing prowess of Rujano but oh well.

    Teams & Riders Pogačar as GOAT: already, never, or when?

    By pure top performance I think he is, but GOATedness is inherently also a palmares game. He needs another 2 tours, another giro and ideally a Vuelta or 2 on top of some more classics. He can perhaps trade a couple of GCs for a PR and MSR though. If he is this exeptional for the next 3-5 years...

    Thoughts on classification winners in grand tours

    Yellow works as intended Green works as intended Polkadot is ok but suffers from the lack of breakaway success White is a relic that could/should be scrapped/substituted from something else

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    I think if this season didn't have the olympics a treble would've been possible. I just can't see it fit in a schedule that requires to keep it at 100% even in the week after the tour

    Teams & Riders The official Egan Bernal is the new Egan Bernal thread

    I think this season as a whole has shown that he is way better than what he was coming back last year. I expect to see him fighting for gc again next year in perhaps a mediocre giro field.
