- Love the honesty about hesitating because of Remco’s messages. Ego flattered but head ruled. That’s grown-up stuff. Vamos Tim, forza UAE!

- “Brand team” line threw me. Does he mean title sponsor obligations? Either way, UAE pays the wages—totally get it. Bon courage Tim, allez!

- Fair play to Wellens. He made an agreement after Renewi/illness and kept it. That’s professional. Also, GP Québec/Montréal suit him—defending Montréal champ in 2025 noted, but he’s been class on those punchy circuits.

- Quick question: what exactly would his role have been for Belgium? Lead-out for Remco/Wout, or early tempo to control breaks? The article hints both ways and I’m a bit confused.

- Interesting that Remco texted him and he still stuck to UAE. That says a lot about team-employer obligations. Also, on a Worlds course like this year’s, he’d have been gold as a domestique to keep things together before the finale.

- Not sure I buy the “timeframe too short” line after he just won in Britain. If you’re strong enough to win there, surely you can do a job for Belgium at Worlds? Feels a bit convenient.

- Great read. Tim’s loyalty to UAE makes total sense given their injury list, and his Tour of Britain win shows he’s in form even if Worlds timing is awkward. Can’t fault a rider for honoring a promise.

The decline in viewership should't surprise anyone; people spend their time and money to see headliners, not understudies. It might have been different if Tadej hadn't entered the race and shown his complete dominence. But once he did, and then crashed out, the remainder of the race, for many people, including myself, became anticlimatic. Crowning a Pretender while the King is recuperating, won't fool or satisfy anyone, except, perhaps, the riders who will stand on the podium and the various Jersey winners. For the rest of us, 'It's wait until next year."

- Love the 2027 UK Grand Départ shout. Edinburgh opener + Visma classics unit sounds spicy. But the article kind of undersells how rare 4 wins on debut is — that’s Gaviria-level company. Give the lad a chance at least on a transitional Tour stage, no?

- Wait, so why didn’t Kooij ever get a Tour shot if he was that fast? Is it really just because of Vingegaard vs. Pogačar GC priorities? Seems wild a team wouldn’t try for both green and yellow at least once.
