Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin break down the early-season stage racing over the past few days, including the implications of Tadej Pogačar's dominance at the UAE Tour while his teammates João Almedia and Jan Christen dropped Jonas Vingegaard and Primož Roglič at the Volta ao Algarve and the all-out racing at the Ruta del Sol, before getting into why we are seeing so many race incidents and dangerous courses and how it could give a Saudi Arabia-backed One Cycling an opening to take control of the sport.
