RedheadDane's Cycling Christmas Calendar - 4th Edition

[RedheadDane]

I am a content creator!

Yup, this is back. However, it's going to be quite different from previous years. Gone is the "corresponding dates" thing, insteadt I selected 25 races - men and women - and will post a photo + link to highlights every day until Christmas day.
And please note that I won't even know the exact order in which they'll appear.

Beautiful win this year. MVDP sacrificing his own chances for his teammate, who luckily finishes it off.

Maybe Pog will never win MSR, but he was pretty close.

He'll definitely win it at least once, he just needs a bit of luck. If UAE keeps going at it like this on the Cipressa and Poggio, there will be a time he is able to ride away. There won't always be someone in his wheel like MVDP.

Holidays are nearing.

I would update the OP but at the same time make a new post. Otherwise it’s hard to reflect back onto a specific day, and discuss it

There's no really any "requirement" for people to discuss a specific race on the day it was posted. That's also why I stopped including the posting-dates.
As you might have figured out by now, the plan is that by the 25th we'll have a nice little summary of the year.

Could it be a sticky.

Could it be a sticky.

I'm not the decision maker of that.
@Armchair Cyclist, pwetty pweeeze.

Not like there's much else happening at the moment...

 

[TiffanyCarter]

You are right.

 

[RedheadDane]

Wrong person celebrating.

 

[Anderis]

He'll definitely win it at least once, he just needs a bit of luck.

What if that bit of luck never comes?

Even Sagan has never won MSR. It's the most open of the major races on the calendar. Nobody has won more than once since Freire. Nothing can be certain in this race.

Fun fact:
If you're looking through the pictures thinking "Huh? That's odd; Pogacar sure seems to show up a lot."
You'd be correct.

I doubt people thinks it's that odd. It's not like you have edited the photos so he appears in every single one.

Well, I'm definitely glad the "only one entrace per rider" was the first 'rule' I did away with, because if I'd still had to follow that, I'd have pulled my hair out of frustration. And then I'd have been BaldheadDane.
I don't wanna be BaldheadDane!

No matter on how much ones bends the rules i am sure that Rogla will end up on this years edition of Christmas calendar too.

Has he won a 1-day race this year?

 

[Izzyeviel]

Kinda ironic Vos lost a PR podium by throwing her bike too early.

 

[CyclistAbi]

First of all happy holidays and thanks for the effort.

As for the created contend i must say, due to omission of cycling superstars and GTs in general, GTs that are in general valued the most, Santa will likely get a lot of returns this year. Kids saying things like this is not what i asked for, thank you.

Yeah, sorry. I think lots of people will disagree. One-day races - especially Monuments - are bigger than GT stages.

Now, you can probably all guess what tomorrow's gonna be.

 

[Froome]

Happy holidays everyone.
