    All due respect Chris, but can't agree Roglic is at the same level as Pog. Even baby Pog was giving Roglic a hell of a run for his money and beating him here and there when he was much stronger 3-4 years back. Now Pog seems to be at a level that is simply unreachable for the others, even Jonas.

      Pogacar has improved so much this year, and now the high mountains are not only to Vingegaard's advantage, but just as much to Pogacar's. The first part of the race with many puncheur stages suits Pogacar reasonably well, and if he rides like this year, it almost doesn't matter how good Jonas is. Pogacar is so versatile, and many of the stages suit him better than Jonas. The 2025 course is a nice route and there are opportunities for sprinters, puncheurs and breakaways. But, this will be a firework show you don't want to miss.

    As of today I don't think Primoz is head-to-head with Pogacar. The only one that has demonstrated that can hold his wheel, can catch him and can beat him is Jonas. On different matters, remember that Visma besides having Van Aert now also have Victor Campenaerts, and I'm pretty sure that they are taking him to the TdF because they are going with everything to take back the jersey from UAE. Van Aert and Campenaerts will completely suffocate UAE.

    Roglic never has been at the level Pogacar was this year and I don't see him improve enough to challenge Pogacar. He needs Pogacar and Jonas either not in top shape or absent to really make a change at the victory imo. I rate Remco currently at similar level as Roglic and he has more room left for improvement, so I wouldn't be surprised if Roglic isn't even in the talk of top 3 anymore next TdF, but that is just something we'll have to wait and see.

    What I really really hope for is that we all see the emergence of the next top tier in 2025 - we saw hints of this in the second half of the 2024 season.what is also needed is paradoxically both more money and less money in the sport.
    More money in the sense that the huge difference between the teams with the sponsorship that has very deep pockets and those with low rent sponsorship must be lessened, which will enable high end riders in all teams, and at the same time the sport as a whole needs less money in the sense that riders, DS’s and team managers making decisions that are not solely based on financial reasons.
    What do I mean?
    In his review of this year’s UCI World Championship race for gravel, Chris pointed out that the huge posse of 5 Belgian riders at the front for the last third of the race did not behave as they should have, that is they did not behave as a Team Belgium, but they were in reality all riding for their pro-team employers and that that meant three of those five Belgians revealed that they were on team Alpecin and were at the front not for a team Belgium win but helping their real team leader MVDP to win no matter that officially he was riding for the Netherlands.
    As Chris noted they did this because big money has now taken over gravel racing as it has road biking and it’s all about pleasing sponsors rather than what is supposed to be a national team race.

      Gravel championship were never as a national team, they always rode it as trade teams in all but appearance (the national agency isn't even really involved). This has nothing to do with the increase of money in gravel. By that notion the road cycling championships should be even more trade team based, since more money is involved, and yet this isn't the case.

      @@epincion Yes and no. It appears they ride as a national team, but they really don't, just wear the kit. Both the riders themselves and the national coaches said that.
      The riders basically had to take care of everything themselves: kit, signing in, support staff, travel, ... The national coach said that they had basically nothing to do with it.
      This is caused due to the gravel championship not having "professionalised" enough yet. Countries also didn't have a limitation on amount of riders that could start.
      All of this causes it to still be very much trade team based, even if they wear a national kit. Eventually this might change to a true national team event like is the case in most other sports, but that isn't the case yet now.

      @ I repeat: the race is a national race NOT a team race, if this was for example the Olympic Games then they would (you hope) be riding as a national team. Every UCI world championship race in any cycling discipline is a national race, but as Chris Horner discussed at length in an upload it was clear that big money now has taken over and top flight WT and pro Conti level riders ride for their professional teams despite it not being such a race. If they do so then the UCI might as well stop holding these and the Olympic Games drop all cycling outside of indoor track cycling. There is no point in these races.

      The gravel championships are still very different from the other UCI cycling championships, it will first need more reform.
      You don't need to take my word for it, the Belgian riders and national federation literally said it isn't yet a national event, just looking like one.
      The olympic games and championships in road cycling etc still are very much ridden as national teams, completely different from the gravel championships, which is the odd one because it still needs to proffesionalise.
      34 of the top 100 in the last gravel worldchampionship were Belgian, imagine them riding as 1 team 🙄😬
      The gravel championships aren't regulated to function as a normal national event at this moment, they are regulated as a free for all, which then turns into trade teams because if riders get the freedom, obviously they'll prefer working with/for other riders they ride with the entire year. There isn't the sense of national pride/responsiblities/organisation/... yet in gravel.
      So don't use gravel to talk about UCI cycling championships as a whole, because it is currently is unique in how it works and likely will see more streamlining in the next few years to become more like the other UCI championships.

      What does that have to do with forgetting the wins/accolades of Roglic?
      Are you making an argument that Visma should have kept Roglic over Jonas secondary to the other wins or simply making a random comment?
      As a cycling fan, I'm fairly certain you are aware of the TDF is the biggest event in the sport. If you are going to let one go, then yes, you allow Roglic to move on to pursue his dream. I'd (and presumably most others would) rather have the 27 y.o. who has won the race twice vs. the 35 y.o. who hasn't won it, despite 1 heck of an opportunity in 2020 leading into the time trial. Not to mention, Roglic often crashes out of grand tours. Don't get me wrong, I love Roglic, but if the ultimate goal is to win the Tour and I'm forced to choose between the two, I'd take Jonas. My point is that Visma did not "get rid of him" (i.e., force him out the door). Instead, they thanked him by allowing him to move on to a different team to continue the pursuit of his dream. To me, that's a classy move AND one that helps to ensure better team chemistry.
