- - Vamos Pog! Si el médico dice OK y él quiere, déjenlo correr. Forza Tadej!robert6529-09-2026
- - Pog has pushed his luck after injuries before and still smashed it, but this time feels risky. Off-season form + travel + pressure at home… could backfire. Better to save the legs for January and the classics.patriciaw29-09-2026
- - Can someone explain how the reserve list actually works for Euros? If he’s listed as a reserve, can Slovenia swap him in last minute without UCI penalties or does UAE have final say?raceready729-09-2026
- - Not sure I buy Gianetti’s line completely. “Too early” after a clean medical? Sounds more like calendar politics and protecting him for TDU and the spring. Let the guy race one day in front of his own fans.cadencekingm29-09-2026
- - Great read. If Dr Mir says he’s cleared and the champ feels good, why not let him roll the dice in Ljubljana? Home roads, massive motivation. Could be a statement win before 2026 ramps up.gearguru3329-09-2026
- - Grande análisis pero una duda: por qué dicen que “nadie del Vuelta en top 13” si Ayuso fue 13º? ¿Cuenta o no? Also, was Carapaz really ill or just saving bullets for Euros?patriciaw29-09-2026
- - The podcast nailed it: Vuelta fries you, especially crossing continents. Still, Wout cracking when it mattered was a surprise. He’d looked invincible—maybe over-raced? Organisers shifting Worlds back to August makes sense to me.tourdeforce929-09-2026
- - Valverde’s comments were telling. If Mas truly hadn’t recovered, why name him co-leader? Spain’s tactic looked muddled once Enric climbed off 105 km out. Poor support for Ayuso once it split, no?cadencekingm29-09-2026
- - Wait, I’m confused—if Van der Poel flew in last minute, how did he still get in that move with Roglic? Isn’t jet lag supposed to ruin your legs? Does he just handle travel better than others?raceready729-09-2026
- - Fascinating how the Montreal course + jet lag flipped the script. You could see the North America-acclimated guys had snap, while the Vuelta legs looked cooked. Ayuso hanging on for 13th felt like a minor win given how “empty” he said he was.pedalpowe2929-09-2026
