Well that's it then, sod the overall, all riding for Novak or Bjerg tomorrow to get the count upto twenty one.

Jay Vine saving energy for the mountain jersey is the most embarrassing thing I've seen in a long time.

100 victories.... 5GT, 0 GT without Pogacar.

Visma less victories, but 10 GT with 4 riders.

For me, it's a failed model. Sky preferred to dominate GT. And UAE would rather have achieved what Jumbo did in 2023 than what they did this year without Pogacar.

They need to analyze the reason. The problem could be egos and sharing the schedule. Simon hasn't won anything, but he did win the Giro. Kuss hasn't won anything, but he did win the Vuelta.
Ayuso wasn't signed to win classics in France against Scaroni, or even Tirreno Adriaco. This is fine for other riders, but they expected Ayuso to be the next GT winner, at least in the ones without Pogacar and those who were sent to lead him.

Simon won the Vuelta, and a few other races.

Almeida did worse with the whole team supporting him than he did earlier on his own.

I'm talking in Visma. He won the Vuelta a seven years ago. Froome was winning the Tour at that time, look at him now .

In GT , you always have to take advantage of the days when you're feeling good. You never know what's going to happen.

Pogacar ended the Tour at Hautacam. Afterward, he came down with a bad cold, but he could relax because he'd done the work.

So who will win the 86th? Narvaez and McNulty are doing the Tour de Luxembourg...

EDIT: Wellens in the GP de Wallonie is also possible.

Can they reach 100? Are there enough Mickey Mouse races left for Del Toro?

No. 100 wins is impossible. Maybe 90.

So is this season peak season for UAE? Hard to imagine they could keep up with it or add to it some more. So lets enjoy it while it lasts and kudos to the team as a whole.

Hard to imagine more wins in numbers.. But not hard to imagine they can win more grand tours and monument in one season than this

It's possible but i am getting what was for me peak Visma vibes now with UAE and feel that next year RBH will prove to be bigger challenger for the likes of UAE and Visma. Ultimately hence they will have to split more.

Would make sense

Team Visma Lease A Palestine has finally found a weapon to win GT's.

Can't wait to the tour 2026 and see which group they've hired then.

I hate that the word 'winningest' has become acceptable. It has no basis in english grammar at all

 

[scribers]

That’s how words are born. Particularly in the English language with many strange variations on rules

True, but it does go again the grain in that “est” or “iest” suffixes are not typically added to the -ing form of a verb.

Is this right? They are in the 91 already and lombardia is a lock, are there enough minor races to cobble together to get them over the line? Their PCS program says no.

If they get 2 or 3 stages+ GC and every other race they start it, the will reach 100.

They have been pushing really hard for wins since at least the start of the Vuelta so I think they are going to try
