Volta a Catalunya, 23-29 March 2026

There should have been double the number of laps, so rbh could get more frustrated and so Vingo could double his amount of ***-blocking. Anyway, nice stage.

Who are the people in the know? Haven't heard anything from them. Jonas is a ocean better than the rest not named Pogacar, but he will have a Giro in his legs. It's one thing Pogi managed to win both the Giro and the Tour.

Media and ex-riders were in the midst of writing his obitual.

I expect Jonas to win the Giro on reserve like Tadej did. So there is a chance it won't blow up in his face and will work just like it worked for Tadej and Jonas will be in his best form for the Tour. beating Tadej is something else. But imo there is a higher chance for Jonas to arrive at the Tour in his best form, than for him to 'crumble' cause of Giro.

No... Sam Bennett can't transform himself into George Bennett...

Your lack of faith is saddening, how can you not see the great potential for magic, change and transformation in a human being.

But who's George Bennett gonna be?

Oh, that's why I haven't heard anything then.

Easiest solution would be Sam Bennet, but I am sure you can do a larger ring of transformations. In fact: if this is indeed the case, we can't say if Sam Bennet, as George Bennet has not already won a mountain stage, and George Bennet as Sam Bennet a sprint. I guess the transformation is easier when you have a name or two in common. But they could, in theory, include Vingegaard who could be Sam Bennet while George Bennet is Vingegaard. This could also explain various strange changes in form.

No more beer for you!

Did Roglic drop Vingegaard?

No, but he dropped everyone who was there that day and solo'd home, which is something Evenepoel, Vingegaard and Pogacar all have not managed to do.

Would he drop Vingegaard? No, it's all I need to know

 

[yaco]

I did not expect that.

no surprise for me. Predicted that Gilmore would get a win. He has only been riding since 2020 and has lots of development.

Nah, the double gets overrated a bit. Armstrong, Contador and Froome could do it with the right conditions.
An easy Giro, will probably have next to no impact on Vingegaard.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

So, S. Bennett should also try winning a mountain stage at some point?

He should first try to finish races, unless you're referring to Stefan.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Good racing.

Remco tried multiple times but couldn't get ride of Vingegaard (as I expected) and a few other guys. Maybe he started expanding energy too many hills before the line. Congrats to Vingo on the overall victory, making it 5/7 in terms of big one-week races won.
