@Peyroteo94 Another day for Soler in the breakaway, but he didn't have the strength to do anything on the Tour de France. I definitely hope they don't bring this guy back to the 2026 Tour. He's always training for the Vuelta.


I won't count on Mohoric for sure until the final day. He was also supposed to be at the last two World Championships, but in the end, he wasn't.

Tratnik isn't there. He wasn't in good shape.
We'll have to hope that Mohoric is there and believes it's too tough a World Championship for him and accepts being a domestique, because otherwise, everything will depend on Novak.

Which of the two?

We were discussing Soler's situation the other day. It's obvious what he's done, using the Tour to train for the Vuelta.

Regarding Slovenia, I was commenting on how I see the team.

Soler is better with more racing days. If you ask me my opinion, I think Soler should not race the Tour next year. But he will, I'm sure of that.

No It´s obvious that's not the case.
At the Tour, he didn't even have the strength to work on chasing Arensman. Today, he works alone on chasing for his own ambition.
During the stage where Vingegaard gained time on Almeida, he didn't help and saved energy for the breakaways. He did the same thing we criticized for Ayuso. It's fair to say.

The level in the Tour is way higher. Don't forget that.

Both Quebec and Montreal are locked. Narvaez is there to launch Pogi.

Yes, but you can see the difference when someone can't pull many kilometers in one race and in another are several stages pulling kilometers and kilometers alone :sweatsmile:

Back to the Worlds. I expect Mohoric to be a domestique. He's not in good shape, and this route is difficult for him.
I'm surprised he's going after not being in Glasgow.

Of course he will be a domestique, don't worry. Mohoric is a great guy.

Carapaz-Narvaez duo is one of the most feared ¡for the WC
They've been in good form this season and have plenty of experience for a race without earpieces and chaos situation.
Let's see if they cooperate after last year's problems with the Ecuadorian federation and the Olympic Games.

If I had to bet, I'd say Ecuador is sure podium. I don't know what color or who, but I see them as favorites for the podium. Very dangerous opponents.

By the way, I saw McNulty isn't going to Rwanda. He was a medal contender in this time trial. Now Jay Vine has a better chance, if he doesn't crash again this year.

But they don't have a team. Who will get bottles from Ecuador?

That wasn't an issue for Carapaz at the Tokyo Olympics. I think both he and Narzaez could be very dangerous at the World Champs. To be honest there are a couple of UAE boys I'd be wary of if I was Pogacar, including Ayuso and Del Toro. Sivakov worked with Pog last year because it was his best chance of getting a medal, but riders like Ayuso, Del Toro and Narvaez would fancy their chances at victory if the race went their way.

But in Olympics is different. Every nation has few riders, so not a big disadvantage for Carapaz

They have the Cepeda cousins. But it's not as much of a problem for them because they're not themain favorites. Pogacar depends more on his team's control because they'll give him the favoritism and he'll be more closely watched.

Other nations need to ride this WC like UAE's opponents rode GdL. If they do that, they can win this race. If they don't attack and create a 3-4 minutes gap, it's probably game over.

Given the sh*tshow that the Vuelta has become, I am just glad Pogačar is preparing for the Worlds and Lombardia instead.

While it is amazingly crazy on the external theatrics it's always unpredictable to an extent. The Worlds is a better choice for anyone that had done the Tour and wants a credible, major win.

So what are the rumours? Top form Teddy Merckx or grupetto guy Fatacar with burnout syndrome?

Top form Teddy Merckx. He has been very quiet on social media but he has been doing 4 and half hours of 340 w (NP). His team is incredible, I would be shocked if he doesn't win both races.

Which team do you mean? Slovenia? It's the only thing that stands in his way of winning the WC really. The team isn't strong enough, so he needs to hope other countries keep it together so he can win easily.
