Itzulia Basque Country 2026, April 6-11

Dont think the descent suits him that much.

Feels like Seixas has just smashed it, compared to everyone so far.

That's not on Seixas but on Roglic. He's like 1:30 behind Seixas.

 

[Rou]

We all knew seixas is a level above this field & it turns out to be the case

If he is a level above this field next year he'll be at Pog's level...

 

[tobydawq]

Seixas' time is only 8 seconds faster than Roglic' time in 2021, though. I think I heard it was the exact same route?

 

[Samamba]

Guys Gotzon Martin blow everyone away at T1. Pogi should be scared of the great Gotzon Martin cause those times are definitely correct!!!

EDIT: Martins time got deleted, but Rivera's is still there on PCS

'only' lol

That was peak Rogla back then.

Seixas is incredible.

'Only' 8 secs faster than the strongest version of Primoz.
Roglic in 2021 defeated Pogacar in Itzulia.

Only? Roglic was at his prime then.

His name may be Gotzon, but he is no Messiah.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Roglič only two seconds ahead of prime McNulty in 2021.

 

[Red Rick]

Only? Roglic was at his prime then.

Average level in 2021 was way, way lower than now.

Most likely conditions are worse than in 2021

Seixas is incredible.

'Only' as compared to the smashing he seems to give today and considering how times seem to get faster all the time.

 

[RedheadDane]

Only? Roglic was at his prime then.

At 31, he was indeed in his prime.

Okay, why does Leonard have an inverse Championship jersey?
It's supposed to be red leaf on white background...

 

[canina82]

When will people realize Roglic is more cooked than ever?
Is Seixas able to compete with Pogacar in the Tour? At this point and looking to how much he is improving month after month, the sky is the limit.

 

[Rou]

Just a small hint for you guys...
The bookies immediately reduced the odds for Seixas to win the TDF from 15 to 9.00.

 

[vappa]

'Only' 8 secs faster than the strongest version of Primoz.
Roglic in 2021 defeated Pogacar in Itzulia.

2021 version of Pogacar was beatable, this one isn't

Rog's still faster than Lipo today though.

[Tim Cahill]

Lad has 2 wins, you need to see someone handles a GC first, otherwise Richard Porte would’ve won every one.

 

[canina82]

Lipo is not an alien. Roglic was part of the Big 6.

 

[Rou]

2021 version of Pogacar was beatable, this one isn't

The Tour won't be won with Paris-Roubaix or Flanders performances.
Let's wait for Romandie to see if he will be unbeatable.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The master on the ramp..... Ala

 

[Rackham]

Lipo is not an alien. Roglic was part of the Big 6.

Back in 2021 Rog was part of the Big 2 actually.

 

[topcat]

The master on the ramp..... Ala

He should do a burnout at the end of the tt, for old time's sake.

 

[canina82]

Seixas is the new Pogacar.
He was a cross country rider. In 3 years, he is dominating RVV and PR too.

Begtsch: "The question is: how often do you want to smash your face with a baseball bet? Does he want to do it today?" on Großschartner's approach to the TT and the fact that he'll need to work a lot this week.
