Did someone say suits?Oh, so we compensate the lack of awkward looking cyclists in suits by wearing suits and looking awkward ourselves? I could get behind this idea! I looked forward to the suits ever since TdF event.

Seems they are trying for a 1960s French “New Wave” look??

well, I would also throw Bondone in there.
Seems highly unlikely given the rest of the route, I'd think.well, I would also throw Bondone in there.
I was just saying it as a best case scenario, not a likely one.Seems highly unlikely given the rest of the route, I'd think.
What's wrong with it? I approveI'm glad they took down the "sexiest cyclists" threads, otherwise I would have had to edit my post and erase Bardet from my list just for that suit...
Best case of what's probable. I don't even know what best case of what's possible would be. 300 km long mountain stage?I was just saying it as a best case scenario, not a likely one.
Exactly 110km.Best case of what's probable. I don't even know what best case of what's possible would be. 300 km long mountain stage?

Somebody exorcise Prudhomme please
Vegni redemption arc incoming?Stage 20 Belluno - Passo Fedaia
Wait until it snows a week before the stage.Vegni redemption arc incoming?
The real plottwist is that it's from CanizeiWait until it snows a week before the stage.
And not after Pordoi or Sella, but riding all the way through Val di Fassa.The real plottwist is that it's from Canizei
Only a villain would think about a Fedaia Mtf...Vegni redemption arc incoming?
I mean, if you put Passo San Pellegrino in halfway through that stage you have an option for a crazy long range attack.And not after Pordoi or Sella, but riding all the way through Val di Fassa.
Just waiting on Prudhomme to call like...Exactly 110km.

To be honest, as stage 20 I would unironically prefer a mtf on Fedaia from Canizei. Fedaia from the east as a mtf is completely unsuited for the finale of a gt. It's hard enough to scare any potential long range attackers, the final 5 km are the steepest meaning everyone will play the waiting game till then and even if you wanted long range attacks there aren't that many hard climbs to put in front of it. The best option is the Giau but from that side the Giau isn't really that hard either. I suppose you could use a large number of climbs to make things harder but then I'm not a fan of the concept of making your final mountain stage the hardest one. Fedaia as the finish of stage 20 would simply be mediocre at best.The real plottwist is that it's from Canizei
