(Un)popular opinion: the sad/boring era of cycling continues.

Some physical setbacks, also bad luck in Roubaix, and of course the loss of an unborn first child that really struck him. Nevertheless he still got some ok victories, Kuurne 2014 was nice and during 2015 he was finding his sprint legs again untill that horror crash in Abu Dhabi happened.

The Boonen that almost won Paris-Roubaix and the World Championships in his last full season, that outsprinted the likes of young guns Démare and Matthews in two semiclassics that same year, also got another victory in his last few months, and rode a strong farewell Ronde and Roubaix however...

Tiesj Benoot (new at Decathlon) will miss the entire spring campaign due to a back injury.

Well. Can't deny that I'm quite disappointed by his performance today. He didn't need to win for me today, but a solid result to build on was certainly what we hoped for.

I think the wind caused Del Toro to lose a few more seconds, but I don't think you can expect him to do (much) better than the likes of Van Wilder or Tiberi.

I'll try my utter best to remain unbiased: The crash Van Gils invoked in the Tour a couple of years ago is more of an accident than what Christen did yesterday. Maxim's was a split second moment, trying to create space in order not to crash himself. Yesterday, Jan kept swerving to the other...

Even though we are witnessing an era full of phenomenons, let's not overlook the fact that Evenepoel trully is an absolute legend when it comes to time trialing. Today again, only 12 kilometers in the flat desert against a physique beast and supertalent like Tarling, he manages to come out on...

Maxim is out for months with a broken pelvis. Ffs, darn you Christen.

Ret*rded sprint by Christen, hope Van Gils is ok. Could've/would've podiumed today, and well deserved.

No one? Really curious if I misjudged that.

They gave Bilbao 6th place, but he surely won that sprint for fourth, no?

Depends on interpretation. His numbers in 2024 were arguably good enough to win Tour de Frances in previous years, that's probably their approach. Of course. Everyone improved.

Moved up to third! Hope I can battle along throughout the whole season.

At least earning himself that bigger name now.
