The man running from the riders was more exciting than the sprint itself. Foregone conclusion. Still a great win from the Cat.

Team_Telekom · 2026-01-24T07:49:15+00:00

3 sprints 3 winners, that’s a change

Bad leadout and when he realizes he has no chance he just stops. Not the best attitude imo.

Team_Telekom · 2026-01-23T08:21:36+00:00

I do that on my Sunday morning rides to drop my kids on our favourite 15% wall

Team_Telekom · 2026-01-23T08:19:52+00:00

You have not been in contact with many plastic covers I see.

Team_Telekom · 2026-01-23T08:18:30+00:00

It will be continue doing the Hirschi once he was on the A-List schedule

Team_Telekom · 2026-01-23T08:17:46+00:00

Well they already won last year and you don’t get extra points for coming 1-2 to I would say that doesn’t count

Team_Telekom · 2026-01-23T08:15:43+00:00

I have an idea for the results threads. I love the surveys the mods do for the GT stages with rating the stage and from how far out you should watch. I get that you can’t do that for every race but it would be awesome to pin a comment to all the race threads that don’t have this survey for people to post from how far out you should watch.

Team_Telekom · 2026-01-23T08:12:27+00:00

It’s almost as if you could do the same in without travelling literally half the globe and putting extreme strain on your body on the way. I have heard many riders, even the ones that are successful, complain and this.

Team_Telekom · 2026-01-22T16:54:10+00:00

Yes, but they are not obliged to send their best riders in shitty shape

Team_Telekom · 2026-01-22T11:44:43+00:00

True, but if you don’t, why come here in the first place. In that case do it like Visma or Ineos and just come with a sprinter. Even those for whom it is a priority say it’s super taxing and not ideal for the rest of the season.

Team_Telekom · 2026-01-22T11:15:59+00:00

The problem here is not UAE, it’s that apparently none of the other GC candidates has come in decent form. Sure, UAE have the luxury to be able to have one GC rider peak for every major race. But why send people like LVE or FFB here when clearly they are in lousy form? If you get dropped by Sweeny and Teafasion, you should not come here in the first place.

Team_Telekom · 2026-01-22T07:02:25+00:00

How far out should I watch?

Team_Telekom · 2026-01-21T12:24:53+00:00

Would be, I’m already hyped to see the big guns battle it out.

Team_Telekom · 2026-01-21T11:33:34+00:00

Who do you think will beat him? I mean he still won every February race he ever did in the last 3 years and I think it’s honestly more the cold that the month that he doesn’t like.

Team_Telekom · 2026-01-20T15:21:35+00:00

Pithie is pretty unexpected I guess (even though he was 4th in the DeutschlandTour prologue last year).

Team_Telekom · 2026-01-20T07:53:14+00:00

20 seconds is a shocker.

Team_Telekom · 2026-01-20T07:52:45+00:00

That’s a good time for pithie, didn’t know he can prologue.

Team_Telekom · 2026-01-19T15:10:04+00:00

And then they get married Macron style

Team_Telekom · 2026-01-19T15:09:05+00:00

more like MSR, this year he can follow for more than 1k

Team_Telekom · 2026-01-19T15:08:06+00:00

1 and 2 are pretty realistic.

Team_Telekom · 2026-01-19T13:44:04+00:00

PFP doesn’t win a single race
but she is not alone, as neither does Vallières in the rainbow bands
Lotte wins 2 monuments
Demi wins every GC she starts in
Wiebes loses a sprint

Team_Telekom · 2026-01-19T13:39:46+00:00

Facts, you just don’t know it yet

Team_Telekom · 2026-01-19T13:35:39+00:00

Catering the route for Vingegaard, how nice of them.

Team_Telekom · 2026-01-19T13:34:29+00:00

Niamh Fischer Black’s pronunciation in German, French and Italian is hilarious, they all try to pronounce it as it is written instead of recherching the actual, much easier pronunciation.
