Think it’s a way to attract riders for possibly less money. some guys would probably rather go straight to WT than do U23 and will accept that offer over others

At least he skipped the Vuelta I guess.. but lots of behaviour from week 3 now makes a lot of sense

Yeah I just hope people don’t stick on that “can’t do one day races” nonsense because there’s really no reason for it. No ways he shouldn’t be good

Then why talk yourself up before?

I mean cooked is fair but Jonas was talking himself up before

I just don’t see why he shouldn’t be able to win one day races. like he’s able to perform stage 1 etc, it’s defo mental

I’ve never said anything bad about the guy trust

Maybe didn’t want to domestique for Jonas (which I think is dumb, he’d learn a lot)

He said that he wanted to ride with Ayuso and Del toro so I guess not

Also we brought our own food lol , it’s so expensive there wow

I really liked the aquarium

I was feeling pretty down about this race after the TT but very very satisfying finish today. Everyone deserves praise

Yeah and Sepp hasn’t won without Jonas 👀

sad that the “Visma haven’t won a grand tour without Sepp Kuss on the team” stat is no longer valid

His name is midcock for a reason, expected

would like him in the tour squad with Pog

I really really hope UAE get confidence in Almeida from this performance and give him proper leadership at the Giro. I know that both didn't have optimal prep and both were sick but I really didn’t expect Almeida to look quite so competitive
