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!
I've always heard it was was 500. But Eddy said it was 525. I'm pretty sure that included amatuer. I'm not at all sure which book I read it in.
This source says 525.

5 but only for the exploits of Healy and MVDP and the final stage. I Loved the new route for the final stage and Pogi being too tired to win it, He showed he was human in the final week but Vingo was just as tired.
He didn't try to become a GC rider he BECAME one. 17 wins in the most prestigious 1 week races, 5 GT wins and a second at the Tour. That's a damn Good GC rider in my book.
Me and my brother. He works so has to watch the replay and then he calls me and we discuss the stage. LOL when the Tour is over I won't hear from him until the Vuelta.
I lost stream just as Jonas as coming home :(. Tried to get back in and got Peacock not found. By the time I had the stream again it was the stage results. Oh well I was able to back up and watch the end. Pogi is getting boring......
