I suggest that the contract discussions have been put off not because Del Toro and his representitives expect UAE to sign Seixas, which I consider highly unlikely, but rather because he and his reps don't want to set a ceiling on a new contract until they see the size and length of Seixas' deal. That, or so it seems to me, is the actual reason for Del Toro putting off talks on an extension. Because the idea that Seixas would sign with a team that already has three young world-class GC contenders, including the G.O.A.T., seems far-fetched, if not completely ludicrous.

No disrespect toward Jonas, but his problem, vis-a-vis Tadej, may not be solvable. Tadej didn't only excell in explosiveness, he also demolished Jonas on a crucial descent. And, lest we forget, Pogi didn't have any trouble winning both the Giro and the Tour last year. Moreover, his explanation regarding poor planning by the Visma team, also strikes me as questionable, given all the experience and expertise in the Visma group. Again, no disrespect toward Jonas, a valid champion and a fine human being.

The headline mentions a 'menstruation debate,' but the article doesn't mention the debate or even what the issue is. The writer and the editor need to do better.

- Vamos Tadej! Poetry on wheels. Cāest magnifique, bravo campione!

- Merckx saying no competition feels offāwhat about Vingegaard in full form, and Roglic on the Giro/Vuelta blocks? Thereās competition, just inconsistent due to crashes and form peaks. Still, Tadej is the most versatile since Indurain.

- So Pogacar has five Tours already, but why is that a bigger deal than, say, winning the World Championships? Are the Grand Tours ranked differently?

- Brilliant piece. You captured how he meters effort on long climbs and still rips everyone off the wheel. Also love the nod to Tour de lāAvenirāpeople forget how early he was bossing stages.

- Slightly sceptical about the āwin all three Grand Tours in one seasonā bit. The calendar density and recovery windows are still brutal, even with modern prep. Would love it, but sounds a tad romantic from Eddy.

- Goosebumps reading Hinault and Merckx basically anointing Pogacar. Five Tours by 27 is bonkers. The Alpe dāHuez comparison to Pantaniās time⦠thatās era-adjusted or raw time? If raw, thatās massive given modern pacing and wind.

- Not sure I buy the āLance had no talentā line. Thatās a bit extreme from LeMond. You can condemn the methods without rewriting the guyās baseline physiology. Still, Pog is the real deal, no asterisks.
