Do we know already something about the TT circuit? Will it also include the climb or will it be flat?

So when will Visma and Jonas announce their schedules?

For Pellizzari and Hindley only giro is announced until now. They will surely also ride a few one-week races before. Also for the UAE tour none of Roglic, Evenepoel and Lipowitz is scheduled for now..

Yeah, but it´s not a given, that Lipowitz will ride something in between. This year for example he also only rode Mallorca, Paris-Nice and Itzulia before the Dauphine. For the same amount of race days he is for this year now scheduled: Mallorca, Catalunya and Romandie. Personally I would like to...

Nordhagen (if they let him ride a GC next year) doesn´t get more then a pure domestique role in my opinion. His results do not justify yet a free role in a GT in a team like Visma. The first guy, who would deserve this after Vingegaard, Jorgenson and S.Yates would be Tulett in my opinion..

One thing you have to have in mind, when you want to compare Roglic potential 2026 to Lipowitz potential 2026 is also, that Roglic turned now 36, while Lipowitz still has his peak ahead of him. Lipowitz has improved extremely significantly in each of the last two years. Who says, that this years...

This would be the most likely scenario, if Vingegaard goes to the giro, I agree. Although giro also offers a lot of opportunities for a rider like Brennan, with some hills at the end of some stages, which not every sprinter survives.. If Vingegaard will not go to the giro, it could be something...

So schedule time begins. What do you think will be their approach for next season? Pogacar, del Toro and Almeida are basically the ones, who can in my eyes demand leadership roles for next season. A.Yates has his best time behind him. If we assume, that Pogacar will again focus on one-Day...

So how will Visma appraoch the next season schedule wise? They have Vingegaard, S.Yates, Jorgenson, van Aert and Brennan, who will have their demands. A lot will of course depend on the fact, if they send Vingegaard to the giro. Brennan also deserves to ride a GT. I don´t think, that van Aert...

So Gall to the giro. Surely they will bring Kooij to the tour next year. I think it was the main reason for Kooij to join the team and an improving Seixas perhaps doesn´t give Kooij that much opportunities in future years. Question is, how they distribute Seixas and Riccitello. I would bring...

View: https://x.com/decathlonAG2RLM/status/1996499482523918436 Start of his season, no official communication about his GC plans yet. He says "We have built my early season around races where I can really express myself and go for a victory" He can surely only mean Algarve and Ardeche with...

If they are smart, they will let Seixas ride thw vuelta next year. Tour as first GC is just too much..

Congratulations to @Salvarani for the overall win. Your strategy of GC guys and not including Vingegaard and van Aert worked out in the end and that's without guys like Magnier and Uijtdebroeks.. Hats off!! For me second time in a row in the top10 overall in the end. Two big regrets: First one...

*Lol* Lafay is such a random rider. He basically scored in his first race of the season, than for 8 month not a point at all and than in the very last race of the season enough to go into profit and secured me 7th place overall, after I feared to drop out of the top10 overall. Legend!

Already feared until yesterday, that I would lose my top10 overall placing with the last update to @Popchu. He has Tarling, Vine, E.Hayter, J. Christen in his ranks with a 300 points lead for me. But with E.Hayter out of Holland and J.Christen also not performing in China and therefore Lafay...
