Even the BrenGOAT isn't completely immune to a badly timed mechanical or someone doing a Maciejuk

Not unless Brennan wins MSR, PR and RVV

Just look in the comments of the post that Goldblue quoted.

Still wish they would learn of this nifty thing called picture-in-picture, though.

Got to give it to this director. Finally one makes the sensible choice and keeps the camera the majority if the team on the group that actually is still competitive #ParisNice

Thank god, a race without Pog. This time we won't have to watch one guy riding on his own in front of a group of non-aliens...

Your confidence in Wout was a lot higher than mine ๐Ÿ˜‚

It's not against the greatest field, but it's been a while since we saw Jonas do such a long range attack. He has confidence in his legs at least, which is a good sign #ParisNice

I think his top speed is mostly still there, although it's not prime anymore (or at least it was still there in 2025, no clue what it's like now) but his acceleration seems completely shot, which is much worse in these lower speed/small group sprints.

Ehh, for a Tour podium you still need to keep sprinting. Maybe one of the Sprinter Big 3 stops, but the others don't. And out of the big 3, Milan and Philipsen will also want Green Jersey points. He actually looked pretty fast in that stage he took 2nd as well.

It's going to be really funny if he somehow gets another mass sprint podium in the Tour after sprinting backwards the entire spring.

Can't wait for Giulio and Rog to roll attacks on Del Toro, while Christen is chilling in 15th wheel.

Practice his lead out for Brennan.
By lack of a Brennan, he lead out MvdP instead.

1k, close

Would put MvdP and Ganna above him. Prime Wout as well, but no clue how close to that he is.

Christen doing absolutely zero work for Del Toro. Classic. #TirenoAdriatico

Think the biggest issue is that he's 33. He's good still, but for how long?

It's not the performance part I'm worried about.

Mmh, maybe not do everything Paolini did...

What I'm hearing is stop that hanging on for dear life to come 9th in GC, gain 10kg of muscle and lets fookin go!

Fair, for some reason Healy feels bigger. I do think his style would translate well though.

I also just looked at the RVV results of last year. How did Aurelien Paret-Peintre get a 16th? He's not as nearly translucent as his brother, but he's still a very skinny boy.

10.03.2026 22:57 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

(And with how good he is on gravel, and his general bikehandling I've seen, I'd be surprised if he was bad on cobbles. Gravel skill doesn't always translate to cobbles, but at least points towards a good skill.)

10.03.2026 22:45 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I do wonder why we've never seen Healy do any cobbled races, especially Flanders, since his breakthrough. Maybe he doesn't like cobbles, or is just atrocious on them, but if not, RVV should quite suite him.

Or, to be fair, his legs spectaculary exploding after that ๐Ÿ˜…

10.03.2026 17:58 ๐Ÿ‘ 4 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yeah, Jorgenson also generally is an excellent bike handler. He rarely crashes and even when he's lighter than your average cobles specialist, never has any issues on them.

Honestly, even with him losing Tarling's wheel, that is still a really strong performance from Onley #ParisNice
