Teams & Riders Brothers in (crank) arms - Yates Discussion Thread

[Tim Cahill]

Where did you see that?

Matxin announced it along with Pogacar's schedule

The polarizing Juan Ayuso will also go, hopefully they are both told to just go out and do their own race for maximum carnage.

Dreadful... No leadership for Almeida.

 

[Salvarani]

Almeida will co-lead Vuelta, I reckon. I dont think Pog rides it next season. We will see.

This is the best possible outcome of the super team dominance, Simon Yates with a dedicated visma support vs Adam Yates with a dedicated uae support, we've been waiting this since 2013!!!!

I'm sure Ayuso's dedication will be immense.

Simon Yates

Tirreno (leader)
Catalunya (dom)
Altitude
Giro (leader)
Tour (dom)

Season starting late I think, had to go to Japan in October so it's for the best

Catalunya, dom? Why? This means no Giro for Vingegaard and a duel between twins. Great!

Yeah I think the Catalunya one is probably just to get some kms racing with Vingegaard, not a bad idea as they will be against Roglic and he is a pain in the arse to race against in those awkward 1 weekers.

Not enough Spanish .1 races, waste of a spring

Should go better with this program. Jayco made it difficult for him in 2024 when they had him ride in Taiwan at the end of October 2023 and then he did the TDU and Alula Tour in January. It was always going to end in tears.

Mario and Luigi will party all year like it's the 2023 Tour!

 

[RedheadDane]

Petition to rename this "brothers doing battle" or something like that.

 

[AmRacer]

Brothers in (crank) arms battle it out

BTW, because of how the search function works, the thread title is not optimal for quickly finding the thread. One option is to tag the two riders in the OP like @Lequack often does: https://forum.cyclingnews.com/search/392060/?q=Yates&c

At the momente, Simon is few better than Adam.

I'm very surprised by his performance. Last year was a very bad year for him.

 

[Tim Cahill]

He's for once looking to come good in the 3rd week after being hit by a car in Spain. I think Adam is too but he might be a bit injured. He's there in the mix after stages that don't suit him and can take advantage of the squabble between UAE/Roglic. Visma are looking decent, Wilco is in mythical shape, Van Baarle is back, if he picks the right moment he can win this, invest in Simon Yates stocks now before it's too late.

You just know that he will take off with his brother in one of the stages (could be to Asiago) where everyone will look at RedBull.
