Summary

Spencer Martin and Johan Bruyneel break down the recent racing action, including Paul Seixas's impressive stage win at the Volta ao Algarve over Juan Ayuso and João Almeida, and the UAE Tour, where Isaac del Toro has flashed impressive form while Remco Evenepoel continues to struggle with stage-race consistency. They discuss what could be going on with Evenepoel, who has been dropped by the same group of riders he torched just last weekend, and what it means for Red Bull's GC plans later in the season. They also examine the recent revelation that Visma–Lease a Bike is on the hunt for a new title sponsor, and what it says about the financial instability of the sport and the ever-increasing salaries of its star riders.
