For what he would comeback? UAE Tour is really not important race for anyone except UAE.

Thanks for this. Interesting but I wish they didn't bother to describe Sivakov as a French rider? Although I will add it also reminds me of the kind of stuff we used to hear from Dave Brailsford.
UAE Team Emirates training "not easy mentally" according to Pavel Sivakov: "I don’t think it wouldn’t suit all riders"
There has been much discussion lately about the brutal training methods of the UAE Team Emirates - XRG team. One man who had a rude introduction to the methods of the peloton's leading team in 2024, w...cyclinguptodate.com
What happens on descents? I think riding below 200watts in that situation is unavoidable? So not quite "always"?

Of course he is not talking about descents. He is probably talking on flat/rolling terrain

Which two of those dudes wheelsucking Pog are Red Rick and Froome?

I guess that's the downside of training in zone 2.

I think Rick is funny and fun at parties unlike all here and has alot of good points usually, when he is not emotionally spiraling about a certain topic.
If I had to guess I would guess one of the first one in line is Rick doing the V sign, desperately trying to catch up to take a selfie with the bogeyman, and when that fails, its time to get online and all hell breaks lose.

How to not laugh with takes like "Pogacar is a overrated puncher" because he couldn't drop De Lie in a climb with 5% slopes and less than 1 km.

Of course not but it still is a WT race so it is compulsory for WT teams. We often have really good TT riders in UAE.

It was me. But I don't think he is a real threat right now. I just think he is the only rider who can upset Pogacar one day in a finish like Huy. I say this because he is improving a lot year after year and he is very young. Other relevant thing is Nys wants to win FW. Pogacar doesn't peak for FW. Of course Nys will not beat Pogacar in 2025 but that could change in 2027/2028 if Nys continues improving like he has been improving

“Then we realised that if you go on a training camp you can control every training [session] you do and that’s probably better.”“I do feel like I have improved compared to last year and that I can get even better,” he said. “We also still believe I can improve as a cyclist, but it’s more about focusing on yourself, getting better every day and to see what the outcome will be.”

One of the things I'm thankful to have seen in my life is a god gift talent like pog being saved by god almighty when he was about to question why he was doing cycling after a difficult tdf in 2023. I remember him saying back then he is going to race against ving for about a couple of years on top level and i could see it in his eyes he was tired of working hard but achieving less fruits. Some might think he made his decision to do giro tour b/c he wanted to win both. No, he decided to do the giro right after his defeat in tour 2023 and at that time he was thinking he has to have all three grand tours in palmares before he retires. But guys god is good and has time for everything, somehow gifted him a good friend in novak who consulted him to change his coach to a rather unknown guy but has a good performance track background who has joined the team in 2023 not performance related but to fill the position of a coach who has left the team for bora. From there on it was a story.
Here we are in 2025 two years later, while everyone is improving year after year the most talented athlete improves twice as them. One think i would want to say to matxin is doesn't it make u shameful to what u have done to such a talent making him being coached by a random doctor who doesn't have the track record of achieving anything before pog and still persisting to him even after his loss of 2023 tdf. Imagine if novak wasn't there for pog on that hard moment we would have been in the last years of pog. I would say thanks God for saving us from jonas/visma ego and their fans and for showing us the greatest athlete having the greatest season ever🙏
Lol, what a realisation.

Teddy is a classics specialist who can climb a bit. This is a more accurate description.

What's with the God agenda? This is a cycling forum..“I do feel like I have improved compared to last year and that I can get even better,” he said. “We also still believe I can improve as a cyclist, but it’s more about focusing on yourself, getting better every day and to see what the outcome will be.”'We were talking about going to the Giro d'Italia': Jonas Vingegaard postpones Giro-Tour attempt - for now
