What Dwars door Vlaanderen showed us, is that however much we think a result is predictable, in cycling anything can (and will) happen. Pogacar isn’t guaranteed a win in every race he starts, although it seems like it, Vinegaard won’t fall off one year, etc.

My thoughts on the 2027 Tour de France stage in Scotland.

So UCI World Tour teams have 28 riders, but can be allowed 30 if 2 are neo-pro.
So only options for taking another rider in WT are Arkea, Groupama, Intermarche, RedBull or DSM.
