European Championship 2025: Men’s RR, October 5

[Samu Cuenca]

Or... maybe not.

He may still show up later in the race.

Seeing the route of this race, it's quite baffling that the last winners in Valence in the Tour carry the names of Jonathan Milan, Mark Cavendish, Peter Sagan (probably the most near-full bunch sprint he won in the Tour) and André Greipel.

National jersey are so much more beautiful than team jerseys

For Milan there was a long flat run-in and of course the best GC guys weren't trying to win the stage. He'd have no chance on this course.

Yeah, but someone needs to explain the Luxembourg jersey...

 

[Stablo]

Torille

Im suprised you knew this joke 😂🥳

Because they have less publicity.

This Pogacar rainbow jersey is much prettier than the UAE one. The huge XRG advertising they included this year makes the shirt especially horrible.

Indeed, much cleaner

 

[James M]

Pogi in his natural habitat. Jonas looks good in that Danish jersey not gonna lie. I hope Vingegaard does well here so maybe he'll do more one-day races next year. He clearly states he wish to perform in them so.

 

[DenisMenchov]

The race will explode already on the first climb it seems. Belgium is finally putting some pressure on Pogačar.

Well, obviously, the same was the case for the others, but it's amazing how they deliberately have dodged the interesting terrain on those stages.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Is he going to race in the world champs jersey?

Meanwhile Remco in his classis coffee bean helmet

Pogi looking overweight following the WC gold celebrations. Il Lombardia will be a big surprise, grupetto ride incoming.

 

[Berniece]

That Slovenian rider in front is already looking like he’s having a hard time

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Proudhomme should bridge to the front group immediately, let a couple of the best climbers from the group tack along.

Yup, Slovenia is weak but Spain team don't have anyone in the front. I think they will try something.

 

[Samamba]

How hasn't Zimmermann not stopped his season yet, he drops early in every race he rides, he's obviously not fit

 

[yaco]

This group of 14 have struggled for 20+kms to bring back a lead of 25 sec held by the front three.

 

[Didinho]

Vingo finally found a matching outfit for his helmet. Curious about his form after 2 GT’s.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

If Slovenia leads for two more rounds Teddy will run out of doms and then...

 

[Didinho]

Ayuso with the biggest yoyo cycling has ever seen.

 

[RedheadDane]

Holm keeps talking about the 'Slovaks'... not sure what role he expects them to play.

 

[moljoh]

Pogitrain

 

[BubbaChuck]

Its hilarius to see slovenia pushing among teams like belgium,lol.pog is funny guy.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Well at least Challenge Mallorca is only a mere 4 months away, great stuff, really looking forward to it. Some cricket on over Christmas too.
