    2023 Tour de France route rumors

    That is how I am going to bet it if Remco and Rog aren’t starting. Just grab a couple of the next tier at really good value as Jonas and Pogacar will each be close to even money

    Rate the 2023 Giro d'Italia

    I gave it a 5. Things I liked: The drama and storylines in the final two stages. The anticipation of Remco‘s TT splits in stage 1 The incredibly scenic parcours TBoPNo Things I didn’t like: Too backloaded Shitty weather Awful coverage of the end of the MTT. They we’re covering the last...

    Good to hear, glad it’s not going to be buried on Flo or something else along those lines. Love seeing the beginning of stages and the dynamics of the breakaway forming.

    What is the perfect Grand Tour?

    Agree, I like variety (within reason), new climbs, TT heavy one year, climbing heavy the next year, etc. Within GT’s, avoid having too many similar stage profiles. All that being said, make the weekend stages as interesting as possible. Flatten the points for the KOM so the GT leaders don’t...

    Spend the $5 a month on a VPN and watch GCN+ Tons of races, live and commercial free. I did this and never looked bac. The only downfall to GCN is that I have forgotten where Sepp Kuss is from

    Roche’s delivery isn’t the best but he has great insight and isn’t a homer. GCN has turned into the Ineos Cycling Network. I have nothing against Ineos, just dont want to hear about how great they are for 21 stages. I don’t mind Phil and Bob, but the NBC presentation and commercials are awful...
