Real prologues are awesome. Note enough races use them.
The one in the Basque Country race a week ago was perfect. Short, had a bit of everything. Worst prologues are when it's just a flat road with and bend in the end and then you turn back.
The route of the Giro U23 will feature a MTF to Fauniera. It will also use the Passo Guspessa (another road to the Mortirolo) for the first time

He'll probably smash 1 or 2 stages and gift the others to his teammates, just like last year.Slovenia route looking good. Stage 2 might be a bit ambitious, but Pog can sweep the rest easily

Stage 5 could be fun with a big climb at the start and a hilly circuit at the end, but sadly it comes right before the big Fauniera MTF.it's a shame that the rest of the stages do not look particularly selective

The final stage ends with three laps of the little cobbled wall in Pinerolo used in 2016 and 2019 by the real Giro, finishing at its summit. But yes, the amount of selective stages is a bit disappointing.it's a shame that the rest of the stages do not look particularly selective

The Guardian ObituaryThe founder and main host of The Cycling Podcast, Richard Moore, passed away two days ago. It is not public knowledge how it happened.
What a sad and shocking piece of news, he seemed like such a nice and very knowledgeable guy.

I officially ask Vegni to not do thatMassimo Sertori (regional secretary in Lombardy) officially asks Vegni for the final arrival of the Giro 2025 at the Stelvio to celebrate the 200 years of the road. (Gazzetta).
Which would be like in 1975, when the race also ended on Stelvio.
Plottwist. It's the only ITT, and it's from BormioStelvio MTT?

I kinda read "Borneo", and that would have been a very long stage!
I haven't looked at the startlist, but I think Pog can win all but stage 2 literally at will.If I am not mistaken stage 3 is the same as last year where Pogačar decided the race with a long range attack. Since UAE should be by fsr the strongest team its likely that he gifts one stage like he did last year to Ulissi and wins stage 4 and probably either stage 1 or 3 as well.

I think the race is the GP Jules Verne and it lasts 80 days.Does any of those stages end on Stelvio?
We're gonna have an ITT halfway around the World! Getting to the mainland might be an issue...
