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!
This time instead of just angrily deleting my account I would like to say goodbye to everyone I had nice discussions with and who shared watching cycling with me. It was often very nice and fun. Especially during the Corona times it was lovely to have people like you "at my side".

Uran also pretty good after not being good yesterday. I suppose in addition to some people having spent more yesterday there's a big difference in how these guys handle steep and irregular gradients vs. steady climbs.
