Pogacar loves Flanders, it's probably his favorite race and with his current schedule (going for PR and focussing on the classics in general) I don't think he is going to do Itzulia soon. Having said this, once he gets the Vuelta and now that Suisse has become a joke and he'll already grab it...

Wait what, why is Suisse suddenly a 5 day race??? 7 I would've understood but from 9 down to 5?

Does anyone have a more detailed overview of the stages with profiles of the climbs? Not talking about the big ones like Blockhaus which everyone more or less knows but a lot of these smaller ones like at the end of stage 8.

It's one-way. To make it a pass (in cycling terms not in geographical sense) you could only go up to 2200m and that takes away the main reason you would add it as a climb.

Have a hard time imagining him doing well in a Giro/Tour double. He has never done 2 GTs in a year in his life, closest was half 10 days Giro and then Vuelta in 2023 where he dropped out GC halfway through. Now obviously there are multiple reasons to why that hasn't happen so far (injuries...

Vingegaard would tear Remco apart in a 2012 route, even with losing 3 minutes in the TTs. People remember the 2012 Tour rightfully because of the terrible Skytrain strangelhold the race was in. With Vingegaards (and Pogacar obviously although in this context he's out of the equation) racing...

First 6 stages look good. Then it's a long stretch of meh until the end of second week where I think the Vosgue stage and Solaison combination is good but not great. Third week is... weird. Not a fan of a short TT nor the double Alpe d'Huez gimmick but at least if they need to force it they've...

Haha same thought, same time.

Just tuned in, is CyclistAbi in the Bora car today? What the hell is going on???

Veliko Tarnovo finish would be sick. The city is perfect for a hilly classic finish, you could have cobbles, you could do a punchy finish, plenty of options. Stage 2 might end up a bit the typical one big climb in the middle Pedersen sprint finish style stage but Plovdiv also could have the...

Imagine being an ITT specialist and you get overtaken 15 minutes into one of your main season target races.

Okay, Remco is winning this easily. Insane level nowadays in flat ITTs.

Discoveryplus have changed their design for me. Wasn't sure if I clicked on the right race, so just tuned in, first thing I see is Remco gesturing. Yeah, definitely at the right place.

I think both things can be true: - WC ITT definitely isn't a big specific target for him in the context of the season. He also knew that his preparation was subpar and that the RR is more important. - At the same time, this was probably his best chance ever parcours wise to win the rainbow...

His collection of GT stage wins (+ discredited wins) is absolutely hilarious and kind of incredible in terms of statistical probability. Tour 2019 Stage 19: Would've won but stage was cancelled due to a landslide. Giro 2021 Stage 9: Won the stage but didn't know so until after the finish line...
