    Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2025 stage 20: Verrès – Sestrière, 205 km

    Exactly. "Afraid of going into the red?" I don't buy it either. He was responding to Carapaz by riding faster than anyone else, including S.Yates

    I just finished watching Tro Bro Léon on replay. Now that was fun to watch! Great race! (no alien solos!)

    Tour de Romandie, April 29th - May 4th

    That's former pro Sven Montgomery. 👍 He speaks the same dialect as Hirschi or Cancellara, but waaay slower.;) Btw.: Hearing flandrian Dutch has the same effect on Swiss German people: you think you can decipher some words, but actually you don't understand anything at all!

    Can cycling please get rid of Hot Seats?

    Jacky Durand in 1995. Look it up. Funny Story!

    First nation to win 'all the big races' in the 21st century (in men's cycling)

    And Spain got Tour de Romandie off the list. Will Tiberi finally win a Dauphiné for Italy next year ?

    And Americans are wondering why the organizers are using the first aid symbol. They are expecting many crashes ? 🤣

    Prologue and some stages in French Guiana, transfers to Guadeloupe, Martinique, etc. And you are halfway there... Some mountain stages in the Rockie Mountains and the final sprint in Las Vegas (complete with fake Eiffel Tower). Voilà Tdf 2028 compatible with LA 2028 games

    How do you rate the 2024 la vuelta a España?

    Sad but true. My thoughts exactly. And frankly, who cares about Roglic winning another one? But it was fun to watch. Especially Marc Soler madness !

    Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2024, stage 9: Motril - Granada, 179.2k

    Carapaz GT achievements: Stage win in 3 of 3 Worn leaders jersey in 3 of 3 Won mountains classification in 2 of 3 Among active riders, only Froome managed the same. Pogi, Roglic and Nairo are close. He is that good. And fun to watch !

    Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2024, stage 8: Úbeda - Cazorla, 158.7k

    PR: Red Bull pays me €€€€€ bonus for every stage win! How much do they give you for a stage win while you wear their helmet ? WvA: F@#€%&, they don't pay me anything...!

    Vuelta a España 2024, stage 1, Lisboa - Oeiras (ITT) 12km

    That's Indurain's legacy to pro cycling. The only rider of this type to actually win a GT in recent times was Tom Dumoulin.

    Vuelta 2024 discussion

    It seems that here everybody believes that this Vuelta is not worth more than a 2.1 race. So Hirschi wins?
