@BenjiNaesen @Anto_m____ I see it as Tulett and Watson cancel each other. Ineos waiting cost them 5-10 secs. Remember they were also on downhill so won’t be as much time loss. Without onely mec I reckon it’s neck and neck for the win. I disagree with it being a clear ineos win.

@dannywelling19 @faustocoppi60 I mean Wout said he isn’t fully fit so was expected and then Tulett flats? Not much u can do about that? What exactly did u want them to do on the first two stages?

@LosBrolin Gotcha thank you!

@niclas2811 @rocketmantri @Cameron00382856 @CyclingRobrk Almedia hasn’t been good this year and del toro coming back from injury. Still better than against Pog?

[Rob @__Rob_78__]

@LosBrolin Is he moving to Visma Devo team next year? Surely gonna be hot commodity? Still not sure what kind of rider he is yet?

@DanWatchesCyc @monarchoflife I think they should really try to keep space open for 2028-2029. They have a lot of really promising juniors that could really break through. Wändel is super talented classic guy. Breuckers has elite punch. Wiersma just won Roubaix. Risbjerg, storrie, berthoud all promising etc

@DanWatchesCyc @monarchoflife The only rider I really see moving the needle and or be promoted on this years dev team rn at least is Barry. Hobbs has potential but hasn’t broken out yet. Rowe is a nice rider but I need to see more from him as well. I like Aldo a lot but I’m not really sure how he fits in?

@DanWatchesCyc @monarchoflife Tbh I haven’t seen patryk at graats level yet and graat hasn’t done much at WT level yet. I don’t really see Patryk moving the needle much and honestly I feel like if they gave him a 3 year deal it would be a waste of space much like van belle.

@BenjiNaesen Is tadej okay? I swear he’s stretched his back like 5-10 times?

[Rob @__Rob_78__]

@LosBrolin Looks like a special rider! Is he headed to Visma Devo team?

[Rob @__Rob_78__]

@BenjiNaesen I’d expect top 10s in some of the classics. Maybe a podium or win but it’s gonna be a lot tough competition. Really like his odds to top 10 both San Remo and Roubaix which would be super impressive. And then I’d expect multiple stage wins in Vuelta plus green if they target it.

@cycloben2 Feel like it will be tough for him to survive especially if UAE really send it. But if he does survive would be in a really good position for GC with all the bonus seconds he could accumulate.

@LosBrolin What do you make of Elliot Rowe? I thought he was more of a sprinter/ leadout winning a stage at l’Avenir etc. I did not expect him to also be able to climb with the best here and at u23 Lombardi? What kind of rider can he grow into? Also possible promotion next year?

[Rob @__Rob_78__]

@BenjiNaesen Just another example of why you shouldn’t sign a 6 year contract with UAE

[Rob @__Rob_78__]

@SamOlbur Literally what I just thought as well? Wish Nico was up there instead.

[Rob @__Rob_78__]

@SamOlbur Isn’t that when we want Nico up instead?

@Elias_TVL Rip I love that one of the few really good news outlets for cycling is behind a paywall lol
