@LucGrefte Yes and it seems like the classics has become strong man races now. Suits VDP and Pog perfectly. I don’t blame them but I do blame the teams that compete against them.

The essence of cycling is that the strongest rider doesn’t always win, you don’t always have to pull, and you can use the terrain that suits you to your advantage. Otherwise you might as well turn everything race into a time trial, which would also be a lot safer

@RickardonSports @tomdanielson I really don’t disagree with you on any of your points. He is the strongest and would have dropped them on the final climb. Just asking for them to at least try and use tactics instead of making it a strong man’s race each time.

@Kjaerulf @tomdanielson I hear you, but you still have to match him over the final climbs, and they just can’t. I would also argue that he and his team learned from last year, also.

The 2026 Tour of Flanders was amazing! These are the 9 takeaways I have after watching the race: 1. The best Tadej appears to be born from his toughest moments. I can't help but think the "scorch the earth" strategy we saw today from UAE was driven by the pressure Visma put him under last year (and previous years) in the TDF. While it didn't crack him, it for sure wore him down, which led to illness, injury, and a winless final TDF in 2025. I think what we saw today will be representative a little of how he is going to ride the 2026 TDF, burn it all to the ground.

@RickardonSports @tomdanielson They all knew this going into the race. Amstel last year showed the recipe to having at least the small shot at beating him.

@Kjaerulf @tomdanielson You think they all just give up? Pogacar is like a constrictor. He and his team just slowly squeeze the life out of an opponent. He’s just too strong. Especially after UAE burn it all down at the front. I promise you, no one is surrendering - they simply can’t match it.

@mastersmovie Looks like a not very well made computer game. Even the weapons are poor CGI.

Eternia is calling you home. Watch the Official Trailer for Masters of the Universe now, and experience the movie only in theaters June 5th!

@lucasaganronald @ProCyclingStats Lidl Trek makes perfect sense. Their spring is heavily dependent on Pedersen and he got injured plus Ayuso got injured in Paris Nice. They have also had a lot of illness in the squad. I’m sure they will bounce back.

Crazy to see the “superteam” LIDL-Trek so low… And Picnic? I have no words. 📷: @ProCyclingStats

@BenjiNaesen Probably thought it was Jonas. It’s like Jonas lives rent free in his head.

In yesterday's #VoltaCatalunya105, on the last Montjuic descent, Remco attacks and slightly gaps Mas, but for absolutely no reason, Remco stops and throws his hand in the air in frustration. I'm telling you, Remco wins the stage if he continued his attack there. 🙈

@lucasaganronald To add I would mention the worrying lack of strength in the Visma squad for the race. Jonas was alone on multiple occasions when the going got tough. I’m sure they are aware of this themselves, Visma that is, but their competitors have for sure noticed it.

THREAD My takeaways from Volta a Catalunya week 1. Sometimes you have to calm your feelings and ride with your head I am absolutely for the show, for showing passion, but sometimes you really have to use your head instead of your heart. We all know who we are talking about. If you are really here to win this race overall, you cannot attack in a flat finish before the decisive mountain stages. And with the risk of that possible crash that happened and ruined your whole race. Jonas is often criticized for being boring, being just on the wheels of others, and not relying on anything. But all I can is see that he is in full control of his actions. And he is effective. 📷: voltaacatalunya #VoltaCatalunya105

@faustocoppi60 Very unusual with no UAE riders in the top 10. Not a stage win for them either.

The final GC of this Volta a Catalunya. Jonas Vingegaard didn't have much competition and won it by more than 1 minute ahead of Lenny Martinez and Florian Lipowitz. Remco was better than in UAE, we'll never know much his crash on stage 3 affected him. #VoltaCatalunya105

@faustocoppi60 At least he is being honest about it... 🤦🏼‍♂️

Per Strand Hagenes on Eurosport: "For me 2nd place is a great result. Vermeersch wanted Abrahamsen to do one more pull, he doesn't want to do it, I don't want to do it...that's racing." #E3SaxoClassic

@BenjiNaesen If anyone wants to understand what group 2 syndrome is just show them that finish. Wow that was painful to watch.

That was Group 2 syndrome at its finest. #E3SaxoClassic Hilarious and painful at the same time. 😂😭

@lucasaganronald I would ask the experts: if not now then when? Next year? In 2 years? Never? Do it while you have the legs I would say. Nothing is guaranteed.

I want to see those “experts”. I fully support Jonas decision of riding the Giro and trying to complete the treble.

@mikaelmilhoj Det er lidt sjovt hvordan det her med en fri markedsøkonomi ofte kommer bag på amerikanere. Altså hvordan sådan en fungerer.

USA er selvforsynende med energi. Men derfor betaler de stadig markedspris for olien, bl.a. når man tanker. Oliesektoren virker dog afdæmpende på den negative økonomiske effekt pga. større indtjening og mere aktivitet. Det oplever Europa ikke. Det er forskellen.

@neeratanden @gtconway3d Well he thinks something like a price can drop 600 pct or more so there is really no saying what he means by any percentage.

I have just a basic question here: If we have destroyed 100% of Iran's military capability how can they send any drones, drop any mines, or deliver any close range missiles?

@Cyclingbottle Jonas is a pure GC rider and Tadej is a Phenomenon who wants to win races Jonas can’t compete in. You can’t expect Jonas to ride MSR or Robaix and you can’t ask Tadej to not do that. This is just the way it is.

Pogacar-Vingegaard ahead of the 🇫🇷 TDF : 0⃣ times It's not good for the sport that fans need to wait more than half a season to see the best 2 GC riders against each other, and it will problably be their only race together this season. #cycling #ParisNice

@LucGrefte Ego is the answer. I don’t think it’s sunk in yet. The win on the final stage of the TDF 2025 only enforced it. It’s a very human thing. Not easy to let go of an image you spent a lifetime building.

When was the last time Van Aert actually won one of those sprints? Why is Visma even taking responsibility instead of adapting to the race situation? Wout ends up closing gaps he shouldn’t simply because he doesn’t want to let his teammates down. It’s a brutal watch.

Player.log: Exception: Invalid header data!!! at SI.Marshalling.Profiling.Auto in Profiling.cs:67 at ContentCatalogData+Serializer.Deserialize in ContentCatalogData.cs:413 The game crashes during Unity Addressables content catalog deserialization on startup. Additionally, the FMCrashReporter itself throws a NullReferenceException in FMCrashReporter.cs:210, which explains why no crash dumps are generated for this issue. This occurs on a completely clean install with no user data, mods, or third-party tools. Tested on the normal branch (including latest hotfix) and private beta – identical crash. The game never reaches the main menu and does not create an FM26 folder in Documents.

A hotfix has been rolled out for FM26 on Steam, Epic and Microsoft Store. 🔧 Full details on the changes 👇 #findComment-15023753" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">community.sports-interactive.com/forums/topic/6…

@FM_Assist @FootballManager Well it didn’t fix the game not launching for me. Had a ticket open since the update came out.

@bigrobbo14 Haven’t been able to see any part of the game. The update has prevented the game from loading. It’s now properly broken.

wait hold on does everyone hate the new update😭😭😭😭😭 just been scrolling on here for a bit and everything is negative😭😭😭

@DoctorBenjy Haven’t been able to launch the game since the update. Have an open ticket with support that keeps suggesting things I told them I tried in first place already….

First time on Twitter today... how is the FM26 update? I can handle it, I think
