Tuesday is when UCI updates its rankings. Chart attached shows Top-30 men's teams. 🟦 = WorldTeam, 🟥=ProTeam. Below line is 19th place and theoretical relegation at the end of 2026-2028 cycle, long way to go but you can see Picnic-PostNL's troubles. Several teams clustered around 9-10k points.

Yeah totally. He clearly takes it all very seriously and puts far too much of the burden on himself. I think he believes his own hype - in the nicest possible way, and with good reason - but doesn't yet have the experience to deal with that kind of scenario. He did everything he could.

That's a good angle. They played an absolute blinder. Fair play to them.

Oh Paul, so hard on yourself 😭 Riding the longest race of his life and suffering and doubting his worthiness as a leader 💔

Mads Pedersen should race sensibly more often. It actually works.

I'm going to need a long while to process it. Fascinating, frustrating, totally gripping.

German Eurosport (I am on my travels) just used the following phrase: "Tadej Pogačar will have been so pleased to see his teammate win, who, race after race, rips his arsehole out in the services of others."

I hope it was joy at second place 🥲

Bling touched his helmet a bit like he thought he'd won...? I really hope it was more like 'dammit, again?' because if he didn't realise McNulty was there for some reason... 🫣

The 'blow up the race early,' attack constantly, style of racing that Pogi has everyone doing now has completely blown up all of the favourites for this race, meanwhile the quiet man who sits in and bides his time is the one who looks like he's riding into rainbows.

After one of the best 100km or so of racing I've seen in a long time, I'm STILL going to end the day screaming in frustration at a chase group.

Group 2 syndrome strikes... McNulty's move looks more and more like a race-winning one.

As a Brit I would bloody love Onley to somehow pull this out of the bag but as a cycling fan who turned feral in 2020 my old wounds would be forever healed if it was Rogla. Yes, I'm just choosing to idealise here 🙃

This is why I love the French though they have such belief and are willing to throw it all away to win. It most likely won't work but they have conviction right, quelle romance! ALLEZ! 😍

Trying to write the race report for this and it's been a nightmare - the feed cut out about 8km from the finish, then PCS reported Steffen de Schuyteneer had won, then changed it to Taminiaux, and now apparently it was Bittner. No actual information forthcoming from anywhere!
