But now even more questions emerge:
how involved is he?
what is the actual team structure? how did he pull sponsors out of thin air - are they actually even putting up all the money?
is he going to go right on back to sportswashing as soon as he gets the chance?
and so on and so forth

this is a pretty good list, I agree with a lot of them! and I didn’t know about pogačar and his funding, that’s really good to hear

sadly we had to reschedule because it’s such a busy time leading up to the end of the year😔 we will make sure to put you on the agenda for the first 2026 meeting though - more time for you to make a good impression

honourable mentions go to christophe laporte for "comeback of the year", maeva squiban for "performance of the year" and wout’s champs élysées win for "best win"😌

these are all v solid, I have to agree with most of them😌 and I forgot about stage 9 TDF actually, that’s a good pick

and for the women’s peloton, I’d say:
🏁flèche wallonne
⛰️vuelta españa
💃PFP in the TDF
🏆vollering at european champs
💪🏽anna van der breggen back to racing
😮 magdeleine vallières winning WC
📰 vollering appearing on the matt stephens cafe ride show

For the men’s peloton, I’d say:
🏁amstel gold race
⛰️giro d’italia
💃 thymen arensman at the TDF
🏆 olav kooij win in rome
💪🏽 wout winning 2 GT stages after his injury issues
😮simon yates giro win
📰 no more IPT in our sport

Like 1) it is suspiciously unclear whether Adams is still involved or not, and also 2) how is it that this sponsor has jumped in so easily to help out on such short notice, yet there are many other teams that are arguably ”better” than IPT that have been struggling to find sponsors for ages🤔

gonna start a petition for her to take a much deserved holiday (for at least the next 365 days😌just to make sure she gets enough rest)

very true, and he’s been proving himself for a while now tbf, I might be ready to consider his cv🤔

I was very concerned about my ability to stay composed, but thankfully I managed to focus and get it done haha😅 it also helped that he was the last rider I spoke to, so I’d had time to warm up and calm the nerves

sadly I forgot to tell him about his fan club😔I was too busy trying to remain professional
