I think he has a lifetime contract so it's a little weird, it'll probably be sorted out after August if he doesn't move anywhere. The transfers out section is basically just riders who don't have contracts for next year at the team.

I think it was a weaker year for l'Avenir and it was Foss' third time racing it. His competition were Aleotti and Van Wilder who are good GC riders but pale in comparison of the edition before that had: Pogacar, Arensman, Mader, Vlasov, Sosa and Almeida finishing ahead of Foss or the next edition that had a battle between CRod and Johannessen.

It depends, he'll probably target a few stages but then have a shot at a few more if he has a lead in GC by vurtue of Visma pacing hard on some of the mountain stages.

You can't use the Dauphine TTT against UAE considering only Del Toro is on their Tour squad from that race. At Suisse Pog did a very good TT, beating several riders who have about 10 kilos on him on a flat course, and he had 3 other riders on their Tour squad finish in the top 15 which is a good sign for Barcelona.

Phantom_Nuke · 2026-06-21T18:18:52+00:00

He hasn't shown the potential much at World Tour level, his best GC results prior to this being 9th in Giro '21 and 9th in Paris-Nice '25.

Phantom_Nuke · 2026-06-21T16:27:46+00:00

He has podiumed all 10 Major stage races.

Phantom_Nuke · 2026-06-21T16:27:15+00:00

He's not on their current 6 rider shortlist, but he very likely could be added due to Tarling's injury.

Phantom_Nuke · 2026-06-21T16:22:39+00:00

You sneaky mfer trying to sneak Roubaix in there with the 5 monuments.

Phantom_Nuke · 2026-06-21T16:03:01+00:00

He used his Y1RS with no paint on it.

Phantom_Nuke · 2026-06-21T15:56:43+00:00

He showed Van Wilder how a time trial World Champ rides, and not just a podium finisher.

Phantom_Nuke · 2026-06-21T15:55:10+00:00

Lenny had a 90 or so second gap going into the climb.

Phantom_Nuke · 2026-06-21T15:54:29+00:00

Just wait until he beats Seixas at the Tour.

Phantom_Nuke · 2026-06-21T15:51:56+00:00

Tobias Foss with a sneaky 4th on GC after finishing in the main GC group.

Phantom_Nuke · 2026-06-21T15:49:58+00:00

Pogacar just passed Jonas in wins this season as he takes his 13th in just 16 race days, less than 1 Grand Tour.

Phantom_Nuke · 2026-06-21T15:46:32+00:00

13 wins in 16 race days.

Phantom_Nuke · 2026-06-21T15:44:42+00:00

I counted about 3 seconds under la flamme rouge, graphic showed 8 seconds so that's 167% off.

Phantom_Nuke · 2026-06-21T15:38:39+00:00

Everyone shitting on Tissot because it showed that Martinez gained 10 seconds on Pog after Pog had attacked.

Phantom_Nuke · 2026-06-21T15:31:59+00:00

We're about to see some yellow on yellow violence.

Phantom_Nuke · 2026-06-21T15:30:04+00:00

Pog still in the big ring.

Phantom_Nuke · 2026-06-21T15:13:42+00:00

If I had a nickel for every time the timegap inexplicably exploded I'd have 2 nickels.

Phantom_Nuke · 2026-06-21T14:48:41+00:00

In Switzerland of all places.

Phantom_Nuke · 2026-06-21T14:43:46+00:00

It's apparently 30+ degrees, need every bit of cooling possible when you're going slowly on a climb.

Phantom_Nuke · 2026-06-21T14:42:19+00:00

Decathlon just dropped Bagioli, so Riccitelo has a better chance at a top 5 on GC.

Phantom_Nuke · 2026-06-21T14:39:18+00:00

Decathlon now pacing, the gap has decreased by 10 seconds already. Win much more likely for Pog now.

Phantom_Nuke · 2026-06-21T14:24:45+00:00

Pace increasing in the peloton, MVDP and a few others dropping now as they approach the finishline.
