    Strade Bianche 2025, March 8, one-day classic (men's)

    I could see it make sense the week after Worlds and one week before Lombardia. Then you can go 250 and make it a monument and have a great block in the Autumn

    Strade Bianche 2025, March 8, one-day classic (men's)

    Influencers and experts dont like hard and long races. They push an agenda, and Im so *** over it. They can *** off, thats what they can do. Add 30 km more please.

    80th (Men's) Omloop Het Nieuwsblad - Saturday, March 1, 2025

    Worst opening weekend I have watched. Quite terrible tbh. Cant wait for the real cobbled classics

    Volta ao Algarve em Bicicleta 2025 ( February 19 - February 23)

    Underwhelming route, liked the classic one better tbh. You basically just add a sprinters stage more when combining Malhao and the ITT

    How do you watch cycling?

    Man, everyone apart from you seem to have those conditions though since those two factors are the by far most important conditions.. I feel ike thats very normal. Fans of the Premier League are not usually tuning in for the Segunda Division either. Some races we KNOW we are going to watch...

    How do you watch cycling?

    I watched my first race of the season today in Jaén. Just really haven't felt like watching any so far, but now the real races start to get closer and there's some decent stage racing coming up in Algarve, Andalucia and to a lesser extent UAE.. Does that make me a lesser fan? Or am I even a...

    Wasn't all that bad. If he's not progressed or looks sluggish again in Omloop, you can being to be concerned

    How do you watch cycling?

    What the hell is this discussion? Just came back and reading through this man, its tough... I watch on Max and TV2 when the broadcast the races. Most cycling I watch is usually live, Im quite bad at watching a rerun of a race that I would really like to watch as that means trying actively not...

    Lesser known races 2025 edition

    Ugh WVA not looking too good unfortunately Great race though, hope it will achieve WT status like Strade Bianche tbh I think Bernal is the strongest rider in the race, but will he be allowed to win?

    Tour de France 2025 route rumours and announcements

    While the mountain stages are not super exciting, its still not that bad, but Im not surprised of the feedback to far. Wout 2023 sweeps this first week. It looks better and better honestly the more I look at it. Great use of Northern France, superb.

    Tour de France 2025 route rumours and announcements

    Thanks again. Oh well, not like that matters anyways really unless you loop around Ventoux before the final ascent.

    Tour de France 2025 route rumours and announcements

    Also, very weird not releasing the profiles of Ventoux and Peyragudes. Whats the deal here? Doesnt make any sense to me.

    Tour de France 2025 route rumours and announcements

    Great first week given everything. 4 stages suited to the puncheurs (with potential of some small raids by Pog) and a TT. Really looking forward to that one and its a nice change of pace. I always really love these kinda stages early in the Tour. Loze is a proper queen stage, and Madeleine is...

    Teams & Riders Everybody needs a little bit of Roglstomp in their lives

    It don't really matter, it was a very, very, VERY bad race to me. The worst amount of GC action I can ever remember in a GT and that MTT doesn't really offset that.
