He wanted more of course but from lying on the floor with broken bones in his back in June to 5th place at the Euros just 2 seconds off a bronze is pretty darn impressive.
The comeback continues for Josh…

The incredible dominance of 🇸🇮 Pogacar and 🇳🇱 Van der Poel in the major one-day races
15 out of the 17 last monuments and 🌈 Worlds have been won by one of them...

Tadej Pogačar is a top favourite for four consecutive World Championships races since Zürich 2024. Yes, Pogačar is the best cyclist in the world and extremely versatile, but this should not happen under good management by the UCI.
Basically, 4 consecutive Worlds are really hard suited for climbers. And then after 2027 France they won’t have a chance again until most likely Colombia 2032.
And riders like Pedersen or Van der Poel got only one chance for 6 years in Glasgow 2023. And sprinters didn’t have a single opportunity for 10 editions.
In my opinion, UCI should manage it in a way that during 5 years, classics riders like Van der Poel, Van Aert, or Pedersen should get 2 chances, sprinters 1 chance, Ardennes classics riders 1 chance, and then pure climbers 1 chance.
And UCI and UEC should also manage it in a way that the World and European Championships should not have a very similar profile. If one race is for climbers, the other one should be for classics riders or sprinters.
Now it is pure chaos everywhere and I am not a fan of it. Your opinion?
