The stage itself is kinda ass

Not that surprising that Wout does a shorter calendar which he's done almost every year recently when he needs to focus almost entirely on road prep to at least be semi-competitive in the classics while Mathieu can whipe off competition at both with non totally focused prep

good

Stagnated is fair to say for that year, good overall season but not better than 2021 imo and they were the furthest away from the TdF win than 10 years before

He's more talented than any of these and really only Pinot's career because of pressure (and even in his case he had multiple weaknesses as a rider - tt, positioning etc)

Now get her on the bike doing vo2max intervals

Another incredibly American cake

(Looks banging though)

fairs

See this is the game i was talking about and i thought it originates from racism, not from the fear of plague, thanks!

That was just Wout being his 2023 dumbass self

Why wouldnt Stoneweg immediately take over the naming rights though, what's the point in paying 20M to barely have any visibility for the entire year..?

(Apologies i couldnt resist)

True, we saw that in the last 2 tours

Obvi i am being a bit pessimistic, but this news + the fact that the name sponsor got like 30M yearly income AND that they got these sponsors in less than 2 months seems very fishy

That doesn't mean anything for 2026, that declining curve go brrrrrrr

(I guess Brennan will take care of that)

Well yeah a lot depends on him unfortunately

He was REALLY good in flanders this year

If that Pedersen bum realised for once that he aint him, the bees and mads AND stuyven would all have a chance to win

Roubaix too with being totally flat between sectors there's a big draftibg benefif vs Flanders being up and down and often twisty
