- This article leans a touch too much into Plugge’s framing. Where’s the ITA’s explanation on why those specific hours? Without that, it reads like Visma PR. Still, good reporting on the AIGCP angle.

- Totally agree that the optics are bad, but come on—anti-doping is supposed to be intrusive. Pogačar at 5 a.m. and Vinge at 2 a.m. is messy, yet I’d rather see over-testing than another FestinaJust standardise the timing window, UCI/ITA.

- I’m a bit confused—if the ITA told Visma it wasn’t suspicion-based, why did a judge need to approve it? Does that mean there actually was “serious and consistent suspicion,” or is that just legal procedure in France?

- Great piece. Plugge’s point about consistency is spot on—either test the whole GC top 10 the same night or don’t do night tests at all. Waking Jonas at 2 a.m. before Solaison feels like it could actually impact performance.

- Qué final, mon dieu! Van der Poel incroyable, pero también Pogacar con sonrisa de amarillo. Two giants making history.

- MVDP “second-best cyclist in the world pound-for-pound” feels off. On one-day races and pure punch, he’s untouchable. But if pound-for-pound means all disciplines, isn’t Wout in that convo too? Little harsh on others.

- Wait, did I read this right — Pogačar beat Pantani’s Alpe d’Huez record by30? How is that even possible with modern pacing and headwinds etc.? Was the exact segment identical to Pantani’s?

- Armstrong calling Tadej the GOAT after a fifth Tour is bold, but honestly, the versatility this year was absurd: cobbles, climbs, TT, you name it. Still, comparing eras to Merckx is always messy.

- Absolutely electric finale on the Champs. MVDP timing that last dig to perfection while the sprinters hesitated — that’s race craft. Also, him matching Tadej on Montmartre then countering? Chef’s kiss.

- If he does the Vuelta after this block, that’s insane. Pero, ¿de verdad tiene sentido arriesgar el burnout otra vez? Mejor descansar un poco, no?
