Watching the peloton - Professional Road Racing thread 2026

NBC's Beyond the Podium series has been hit and miss for me. But this is a good one. If Roll's right, we could be in for one heck of a TdF.

Both links are not working, US only I'm guessing. But I was also thinking that today, if Jonas is looking good and Pog is... well Pog as brilliant as ever, then all the new boys will have something to prove and find it v tough. It does mean TdF could be fascinating.

The only bad news long term I've heard is that Seixas's agent is looking around for a big deal outside of Decathlon as his contract is up next year and the rumour is UAE are planning to swoop. Disappointing if true. I'd hoped as a young French starlet he might stay with a French squad built around him. Bring back the glory days. But petrodollars are all that count today.

Maybe all the Shaheds flying around will take their mind off new deals. And anyway would Seixas want to be in same team as Pog and play second fiddle?

Sure hope he doesn't end up on the same team with either Pogi or Jonas. Want to see all 3 go at it.

Del Toro is going to be El-Gono next year. No way he's the next Campanaerts. I still say that as of now, the biggest question mark for next season (this one barely started!!!) is the replacement sponsor for Visma.

Seixas to NSN. You heard it here first.
