Teams & Riders Brandon McNulty is the Next Great American Hope Thread

[Potomac]

When McNulty and Carapaz got 40 seconds I thought the chasers would keep looking at each other and both riders would stay away.

GREAT win at Mallorca! No HRM and no wattometer either.

The secret to success at UAE?

The secret to success at UAE?

Absolutely. We all remember what happened when Pogi "forgot" his wattometer at PDBF. Why limit yourself with some device readings?

Yes, but didn't play the game smart, closed too many holes. + lacking sprint.

He is a little bit same type as Remco, they need to be so much better than the others to win. Like the first stage with 60km solo.

But he is on my top 3 for today.

Uhm not true. I remember last year in Dauphine sprint uphill was 3e. Colbrelli won. But he came from far. He is fast. But him position in sprint was not good.

Today top 3 is possible. But last climb is some strokes 10%+ we will see

True I do remember that! But still wouldn't call him fast

 

[Potomac]

1st, 4th, and 2nd.....not a bad opening to his season

So, him is fast enough

he and Valverde same time 3e at 3 seconds.

He lost the sprint pretty clear no? Or did I miss anything

Isn't there a difference between not being fast and getting 15th or being fast and getting 2nd? Wasn't he fast? or am i missing something? It arrives at the same time from Valverde

 

[Potomac]

For the moment PCS season rankings show him in 1st place.

Who is the best rider in 2025?

Tadej PogaÄar accumulated 1594 PCS points so far this season and is best rider so far this season. He is followed by Mads Pedersen with 1095 points and Mathieu van der Poel with 1053 points.

Tied with Wellens on points, but I guess his good looks put him ahead.

Fantastic rider and in impressive from. 1, 4 and 2 is a great start to the season, a season I hope he will experience more wins than the last 2 years.

All I'm saying is he isn't great in sprints. He also lost with 2 bike length today.

Good January form!

And gave everyone else a couple of bike lengths. He's fast, but just not "Valverde" fast.

He was 3rd in a Dauphine uphill sprint last year ahead of Stuyven.

 

[Lequack]

Great showing today, I think the headwind did him in. But that was a great fight.

 

[Landeirovic]

Mcnulty 3e stage and 2e in GC. Very good result. This year he make big steps!

Not sure if he'll make huge improvements, but he does seem to get better each year.

 

[jmdirt]

Great result Brandon!

Hope he is not just the second coming of Van Garderen.

Hope he is not just the second coming of Van Garderen.

He strikes me as a more proactive racer.
