    Not his best day but if remeber correct he also made a big tactical mistake in that race.

    It looks like MVDP and WVA will not ride Gent Wevelgem. Easy win for Pogacar. I really like that pogacar will probably ride many races where he is not the clear favourite (MSR, E3, GW, PR) and dont just ride the races he wins easy. If he wins these races he really is the greates on all terrains.

    Are they stupid? The routechange from 2017 was the best decision for this race. Since then its my favorite ardennen classic. Before that change this race was superboring and now it will be again. I cant belive it.

    Who are his biggest rivals at the giro? Who are the leaders from uae? If he doesnt crash, grand tour win number 6 is coming. 4 vuelta and 2 giro wins doesnt sound bad. After that just have fun at the tour de france without pressure.

    Tour de France 2025 route rumours and announcements

    Better mointainstages than 2009, 2012, 2017 and 2021 in my opinion. But not by much. Overall one of the 5 worst routes of the the last 15 editions i think.

    Yes, maybe you are right. But imagine the hype before the cobles classics and especially paris roubaix. I would love it.

    I think he will race Paris Roubaix in 2025 already but will not do a special preparation for it. Just to see how good he is and he if he can compete already with the best. I think he wants to ride all monuments next year. These one week stage races that he hasnt won yet, he can ride with over...

    start with omlop het nieuwsblad omloop strade MSR e3 GW RVV PR Dauphine Tour Vuelta Worlds Lombardia Ardennes are too much and no challenge for him. And it would be more realistic with the break after PR GW isnt realistic but it would be funny if he wins it.

    Thats probably right. And i dont think vingegard will do the giro and the tour. Because of that i think we get the most entertaining racing if he goes for the classics and the vuelta.

    I dont want him to do the giro and tour in one season again. It was nice but now its done. The giro would probably be really boring again. There is no competition for him. The classics are much more exciting with him. This year was too easy for van der poel. i want to see a battle between van...

    If he could have focus only on evenepoel it If he could have focused only on evenepoel, the race would have been totally different. I dont think evenepoel was that much stronger. He even was dropped for a few kilometers after van der poel attacked.

    I think he will focus on the cobble classics in the first part of the season and then will do the tour vuelta double. Maybe something like this. Omloop Strade bianchi Mailand san remo E3 Gent wevelgem Ronde Roubaix Dauphine Tour Vuelta Worlds Lombardia Without the ardennes classics he has...

    The giro would be boring without pogacar too. The course is boring. The riders are weak. For me the giro is just the third best grand since many years.
