We hope all of you have a great holiday season and wonderful Christmas. Thanks so much for being part of the Cycling News community in 2025 and beyond!
Schleck looks strong! Was just sitting at the back of a strung out peleton on the climb, looks at the camera and then BANG! Big acceleration straight to the front of the pack! Exciting stuff :D
Is there no chance of Froome changing teams next year? Or does his current contract hinder that? .. Would be good to see Wiggins and Froome on separate teams at next years tour!
Why does everyone already assume that Froome will out climb Wiggo? Yes he took 2 seconds out of him on stage 7, but that was on a short punchy climb with 23% gradient (Which does not suit Wiggins at all) .. I think we should wait and see the big mountains before making any assumptions..
This could never work in this years tour, last year no one had any real team mates left to make a real chase. This time however Wiggins will have 3 strong sky boys with him.
I think the race is gonna really heat up in the mountains; Nibali and Evans will probably take turns attacking Wiggins forcing Froome to chase and waste himself (especially if headwind) While VDB will probably keep the tempo high when things come back together, and at the same time I think Frank...
