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!
Yep I'm super pumped for the Vuelta...
And i cant agree more in regards to the top 20.. who's on form, who is fatigued... argh, so many variables!
But still, cant wait!
Looking forward to the updates...
my goal from the start of the year was to finish mid pack... now my goal is to be mentioned just once in an update and make it into double digits in the rankings!
Man my team sucks... doesn't help when you pick retired riders.......
Re:
I am also in agreement here with this... Unless its solely based on stage wins and podiums then im kinda cool with it...
If provisional results are included then there does not allow for someone to come back from the dead... Like me in this years TdF - i was facing elimination and then...
Ah stoked with the division win, but at the start i was certain that i was going to be eliminated. It certainly helps getting a few bang on - especially Barguil at 14... who would of thought...
Anyway congrats to all that have made it through to the next round and commiserations for those who...
Re:
Ah so did I... Kept Bardet and Contador though. Also, nut sure where Barguil ended but hoping Pauwels was with him though so he keeps 14...
WHAT A RACE THOUGH.
Likewise I also have four correct and pretty nervous about them all changing... So many things can happen on this stage...
Either way, I just want an exciting race starting right now...
Desperately hoping for a hard man sprint with Kristoff beating Sagan and Degenkolb... That scenario sounds great for me being the only one in Coppi without the gorilla or Cav...
So far my stage picks have been two fourth places, two podiums and two injured Orica's... Definitely could be...
I'm well into holiday mode... Switched winter in Australia for summer in France and Italy... Three weeks in and two to go...
Wanted to immerse myself fully in the European way before heading to the next round...
I was bitterly disappointed however that the way this holiday transpired was that...
Yep, thanks AC for a great game...
Pretty happy top be fighting for the podium and ended up two points shy!
Can't believe it came down to Modolo losing second place in the points jersey on the last stage!
Ah and what would of been if I didn't have Pozzovivo...
Anyway I'm stoked with 4th!
Not really loving where i am so far but im pretty happy with my picks to come...
Except tonight as i have Pozzovivo... but after that i have three Contador picks and two Modolo picks (and a break for Weening to win - really had no idea at all about that stage).
So, as Contador is clearly the...
Re:
Well i just checked and while i was surprised i was in the top 10 in our league with Pozzovivo in my team i was in awe of the panther top overall!
Not bad at all...
Re:
And I am second! Whoa!
Thought I had chosen aru and not contador so after pozzo went down I neglected to check the daily updates... Pleasent surprise today to see where I am so far!
While I'm glad pozzo is up and about I'm pretty gutted he crashed ruining my chance at a top result!
But...
