I kinda feel like this was one of those cases where "fresher rider wins descent" was just very likely

no idea if it's going to be the queen stage, but it was just announced today that Austria plans to host two stages of the Giro in 2025 - one finishing in Lienz, the other (after climbing the Großglockner) in Salzburg
Der Giro nimmt Kurs auf Salzburg
Die Italien-Rundfahrt soll 2025 durchs Land rollen und in Salzburg Halt machen. Die Etappe über den Glockner peilt als Ziel die Mozartstadt an.

The Glockner stage is supposed to finish in Salzburg? Did they invite Pescheux to help organise this bid?no idea if it's going to be the queen stage, but it was just announced today that Austria plans to host two stages of the Giro in 2025 - one finishing in Lienz, the other in Salzburg

Kill it with fire!
Serious, somewhere in the Bundesland Salzburg would be fine, but over the Glockner and in Salzburg proper, wtf?

Yeah, hard to somewhat safe this one. Maybe a Gaisbergspitze MTF above Salzburg.
Just start in Lienz, go westwards, then do the whole Höhenstraße on the way back to Lienz, Iselsbergpass + Glockner and stage finish in Zell am See (with a Zettersfeld MTF the day before) and you have something great.

Seriously, do some of you guys who seem to know about the local areas (or just areas/geography/climbs) in general ever considered contacting these organizers? Because really, it should be in their best interest to make some good stages. Or so you would think!

I have already contacted the Kaunertal about making a potential Giro MTF on the Kaunertaler Gletscherstraße (up to over 2,700m of altitude) since they keep that road open all year round anyway because it goes up to the Glacier ski station. They were polite and thanked me, but nothing else...

That was a performances for the ages. Second ascent time on Col de la Loze despite being in the break, dropping Yates, Bilbao, Gaudu...
Also how long is his peak lasting? He was supposed to be already good in TotA. Now he wins the Tour queen stage almost three months later.
He's podium material at the Giro, I'm pretty sure of that.
Another rider who wasted years at DSM (and apparently wanted to quit cycling)

I made a comment at the time joking about Roglic and Evenepoel breathing a sigh of relief because Gall wasn't starting. But with this Tour in mind that doesn't sound so much like a joke anymore.

I mean, Gall would have probably lost about 4 minutes in the first week of the Giro in the TTs, so…

should hopefully be a good battle for it. Ciccone looks strong on the early climbs, but Gall should have the upper hand on the big ones close to the finish.
What's the best way to approach it, though? In his current GC position, he'll probably won't get too much room to join the break.
He has to though to have a chance. Vingegaard is only 1 point behind him and he won't outclimb Vingegaard on the final mountain.

Riding for a French team, in the Tour de France, Felix Gall has finaly met expectations.
I'll try to update the OP in a few days, as i'm on my phone until saturday. But i think this guy deserves his own thread, after winning the queen stage in the Tour and after his Tour de Suisse.
He has surprised me in his consistency so far, but especially his TT, which was actually good.
Fanboy #1 @Mayomaniac feel free to add to the topic, i can always expand the OP.

Given how often you reply to my posts, I thought you no longer had me on ignore.
I opened a thread for him earlier in the Tour.
