And they got a buffed up version of Monmartre 2025 as well. Well, probably a lot harder than that. Are we finally seeing the end of the god awful sprint while nothing happens on stage 21? I certainly hope so!

Sure, and then what? Its the last real stage, so riders will still go from Hazallananes if you need to. The MTF is a safety blanket which assures something will happen even if the stage wont be great. Definitely no complaints. Its basically a buffed up 2024 stage

Love stage 20. My favorite climb again done at least twice, with Purche as well, and this new exciting MTF. Hardest stage of the year?

Even if he is to blame (which seems to be in many cases), he somehow makes everyone else guilty instead. He's lucky he's good at riding a bike, because I'd imagine that leadership is kinda fed up every time he opens his mouth in public.

Why keep going? You guys know what Berniece's arguments are going to be. You are not convincing him of anything at this point, its just pointless. I do believe he should be given a second (or third, maybe) chance. He's still young, he is allowed to learn. Similar to Ayuso and how he dealt with...

The likes of Berniece probably think he should add a couple of flemish races more, full Ardennes and a week long stage race more and then complain that he dominates those above races and makes them boring!

Yeah I dno, lets complain about a rider targetting all 5 monuments (most likely unless he skips Lombardia which he doesnt do), two stage races he hasnt won, Tour de France and Worlds. And thats not even taking a possible Vuelta into account People would have thought this was impossible just...

Brother its not about the race days. People still out here stuck obsessing over race days when everybody knows that training for and riding just two races like Flanders and Roubaix is just harder than racing T-A and Catalunya for a rider like Pog. The level is more even there and he needs to be...

Skjelmose already back at it. Most fragile ego in the sport. How can people possibly root for him?

At this point it would be disappointing if he doesnt race the Giro

What are you guys talking about? Cian is riding for Movistar, and therefore he should be absolved from any blame and hasn't done anything wrong at all. Wish you all the luck you need Cian, because god knows this team needs it!

At this point a races like E3 and opening weekend races just seems irrelevant to Pog. Its quite obvious what he is trying to achive right now

Smart move and the program I argued for: heavy on one week stage races and then the Vuelta, the kind of races he historically have excelled at compared to Giro/Tour. Great work from Red Bull. I assume that Hindley + Pelizzari then goes to Italy?

Well normal Alpe d' Huez is by no means a bad MTF, and its absolutely great for spectators, especially when they are doing it twice. Nothing wrong with that IMO. I hoped stage 5 and 17 would be a bit harder, but its possible that we will see some action into Pau and stage 17 might just be a...

Not too bad, but once again, ASO really fails in regards to including proper time trials. Is stage 5 to Pau a pure sprint stage? Stage 17 looks more versatile sprinter/break for me, and stage 21 obviously is more of a versatile sprint as well. So (hopefully) just 4 pure sprint stages which, if...
