## Resource

Spencer Martin and co-host Andrew Vontz, just back from their annual team-building retreat at Pace Ranch in Tucson, Arizona, discuss the 2026 season’s kickoff races, what has stood out to them, and if Remco Evenepoel’s strong start at Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe means the Belgian is on track to meet the lofty goals set by the team. They also go through the news that Picnic-PostNL is in deep financial trouble, and attempt to decipher EF’s public call for further funding. 2026 BTP NET Ratings: Projecting How Each Team Will Stack up by the End of the Season ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Andrew’s Choose the Hard Way Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow Spencer & Andrew on Strava This is a public episode.
