I just looked at the route for the first time and counting everything there are 13 uphill finishes, 11 of which are basically MTFs. Has any GT ever had that many uphill finishes?

A delightful gift to any Vingegard owners that Pogacar is not riding the Vuelta this year.

Bit risky though if everything were to fall apart last minute.

BTW are we sure this type of merger will be settled using the 23-25 promotion ranking? I'm thinking it might depend on when the merger actually formally happens. If by the time the promotions for 2026 are processed by the UCI, the merger hasn't happened yet then the decision from the UCI would...

This type of merger will be a mess for a lot of riders. It's not just 2 teams merging, they both have development squads as well with riders wanting a move to the WT. I guess it might mean a lot of you talents will be looking for teams. Perhaps there is an opening for Uno-X to get Felix...

He's too good to have stayed at U-23. He should have moved up to WT this year.

That's exactly my point. Uno-X was working so that the break would not get to 10+ minutes which it could easily do if no one in the peloton works. And going into the mountains with 10 minutes it means that a good climber could have stayed away even with 3-4 minutes and that would have meant that...

I'm guessing their main concern was not giving a lot of riders a free ticket back into the top 10-race. In the end that was perhaps not a big worry given how poorly all those riders in the break ended up climbing.

Yes, it's been their strategy the whole first week. Make the race hard to Pogi cracks in the third week.

Ya, 3km in the first big mountain was enough work for him for Storer it seems.

All the talk about Tudors having a guaranteed WC because of Alaphilippe and Hirschi. Those two are not really paying ASO back for the invite so far at least.

Another signing for Uno-X. Storm Ingebrigtsen from Team Coop-Repsol will ride as a stagiaire for the team this fall and then join the team fully starting next season. Edit: Also danish rider Tobias Svarre from Team Coloquick has signed a deal until 2028.

Seems no one has posted here yet that Stian Fredheim has signed a new contract with Uno-X keeping him with the team until 2028.

I was not claiming there were no other offers, I was asking a question. That obviously means I didn't see your post.
