@categorycafe @FenixPrTe And it is good to see another solid result from Fem. Starting far back on the grid makes for a lot of traffic to get through. I just hope she is enjoying it all.

@Cyclingbottle wishing @MarionNorbertR good health and full recovery.

@lucxsronald Good post. BUT, Mas did surprise in the Vuelta TT...

[SJOesq @SJOesq]

@TamauInFrench Yeah, they want to protect Hinault's record...

[SJOesq @SJOesq]

@dnlbenson What's your take? I know it has been rumored forever but is it a good move for her? I see it both ways and can understand her draw to them. But do they have the right support for her growth? And turning down more $???

[SJOesq @SJOesq]

@Cyclingpredpt My bad. I skipped over the "new signing" part as they are familiar names. The "new signing" analysis is a more interesting question. Glad you tackled it.

@Cocaloca99 🤣

[SJOesq @SJOesq]

@Arcalis1997 She's having an incredible start to the CX season!!

@LeCyclismebelge I don't mind seeing him get humbled. LFG!

[SJOesq @SJOesq]

@BohunickaNikola 🤣

This is grounded, mature and good to hear. I think improvement is going to continue to build for Brandon.

"Every time I look down and see the rainbow stripes, it’s a whole new feeling. I dreamed about it. I won the junior time trial title in 2016 in Doha, so I can say I’d had a taste of it, even though the Elite level is a completely different planet. I never pictured myself wearing the jersey, but here we are. Anything can happen, it’s crazy.

I’m still the same rider, with the same strengths and weaknesses, so it’s not like I’m suddenly going to win all five Monuments. I’d rather stick with what’s worked over the last five or six seasons and keep trying to improve.

I’m going to honor the jersey as best I can on some big races, but nothing drastic is going to change. Amstel or Liège-Bastogne-Liège have always been among my favorites, and I’d love to be able to play a role in the finish, explore them more. Of course, if Tadej is there, it’s different." said Brandon McNulty 🇺🇸 (@TeamEmiratesUAE), @lequipe

@aanaakit @TamauPogi @giroditalia Thank you!

[SJOesq @SJOesq]

@lucxsronald Perhaps it just isn't mapped out yet. With a heavy backload to the season, getting race fit for Roubaix and hitting the stated goals will take some planning. IMHO.

[SJOesq @SJOesq]

@categorycafe Bravo Campy!! @VCampenaerts

[SJOesq @SJOesq]

@CyclingYazz Paris Roubaix.

[SJOesq @SJOesq]

@laflammerouge16 Super happy for @BrandonMcNult !! Congratulations.

[SJOesq @SJOesq]

@lucxsronald And compare "the best ever" Tadej with a midling NBA or NFL player on pay per year...

[SJOesq @SJOesq]

@Alan_Couzens Brilliant post! I've wondered the same as the questioner. While 1 and 2 seem to be on point for me, it is #3 that trips me up. The intensity sessions clobber me from a recovery perspective and limit the volume of the easy stuff...

[SJOesq @SJOesq]

@Cyclingbottle I wonder if this will be a good move for her. She has the talent to do great things, but she is going to have to contest with a lot of talented team mates...
