- - Slightly harsh tone toward Evenepoel here. He’s peaking for the Tour—if he and Van Gils are finalising form, isn’t skipping Nationals a reasonable call? The article leans a bit sensational, imo.patriciaw27-06-2026
- - Campenaerts dark horse if it somehow splits in the crosswinds. But with UAE-XRG bringing Wellens and Vermeersch, they might try to force a move before the sprinters line it up. Still think it ends in a bunch kick.julien27-06-2026

- - Strong piece. The mandatory start rule exists for a reason—towns pay good money and fans show up expecting the stars. I get Van Aert’s injury, but Remco skipping both TT and RR again feels poor form, even if the doctor’s note is “valid.”gearguru3327-06-2026
