You missed the Malaysian guy who was second on a Langkawi stage. Happiest 2nd place this year!

Langellotti Poland stage 6 comes to mind. Other than that? Only Wout in Paris and Skjelmose's Amstel will be remembered for 2025. (Ok maybe Ventoux, too) Edit: Powless at Dwars MUST be remembered! 😆

Youngest monument top 10 since ... ?

Bora too strong

All of them. No bronze medalist. 😆

Just move it to an authoritarian state. No protesters. "Everybody" happy

Just like they did with Paris - Dakar. Call it "La Vuelta" and have it held in Kasachstan or wherever the money is.

Who were the last riders of an invited team to achieve a podium in a GT? Horner? Cobo?

I don't know if this already been discussed/ announced here: Will the GP Montreal be held in 2026? WCRR a week later at the same place?

This prologue was quite nice actually. Can the real race start now, please?

Plot twist: It will be a foot race. No bikes allowed! (But still a TT!) This way, we actually might get some time gaps!

Sadly, I think the organizers are actually glad they didn't plan more and longer TTs. For the protesters, it's much easier to disrupt a TT and easier to target the riders of team You Know Who. The only way I see Riccitello&co finish the stage is to have them escorted by a swat convoy. Drafting...

Unfortunately for Ganna, there are just no more real TTs on the calendar. As always: don't compare eras

Desperate team with too much money? Cofidis Tudor Q36.5

Cofidis? Home of Spanish champs! That would be fun.
