As a Canadian, I’m even more excited by Gee’s ascendancy.

But wow what a mess of a team. I hope they figure out their TdF strategy and everyone falls in line. Realistically it should be for stage wins for Gee, possibly Woods though 2024 has not been kind to the latter.

Side note: what’s the crazy talk of IPT sponsors demanding a role for Froome? What sponsors?!? The team is the personal political project of a billionaire. You can’t tell me that cycling-savvy sponsors like Premier-Tech and Factor are so disconnected from cycling that they believe Froome can bring glory.

Weird stuff going down with IPT

As an American, I'm hoping they don't mess up Matthew Riccitello. I'm sure just having Froome (particularly at the TdF) is as commercially valuable than anything IPT is actually going to accomplish on the road, but I stopped trying to understand what they're thinking when they adopted their sign-guys-who-were-good-five-years-ago policy

As a scientist, I like your “enormous spreadsheet” approach.
