Me too.

well, Mou says he goes at around 50km

220 km solo? That would be capturing the spirit of Big Eddy.

I've been praying to the weather gods and sacrificing animals all week. Let's wait and see what'll happen.

There is a chance of rain, tomorrow we will have a very cold and rainy day.

Tomorrow will be terrible but Sunday much better: cool and mostly sunny.

Good job he is not a prime minister. (Probably UK relevant only).

Yeah I don't know if UAE funded Savile Row suits would go down well

Did you see the route for Rwanda 2025 Worlds?

268 km
5,475m of vertical

I loved it.

Pogacar must be licking his chops.

Elevation gain is boosted by the extension circuit climb, which occurs only once and 100 km from the line. Local circuit is pretty classical but those climbs being close to the line are good for Pogi (plus total elevation gain OFC as well).

It looks pretty classical with the exception that most WC circuits have 15km laps with 1 or 2 hills and this one has 3 pretty hard ones.

It's essentially the hardest section of Amstel repeated over and over and over again

It has 2 hills, not 3. Unless you count the one between laps as 2.

Are you telling me I cannot count to 2?

You're probabyl right.

Pure climbing route. This is Pogacar terrain.

Want to FaceTime with my son and count together?

No to the first, yes to the latter.

It's really hard but pure climbers that don't have pedigree in attritional one day races are gonna suck. I would take a good Alaphilippe over Roglic and Vingegaard here any day

There is still a climb of 6 km within 100 km to the finish line. A true pace there and a good Alaphilippe would be dropped like a stone.

Ala was 5th at the Tour in his heyday. He's a good climber when in top form.

It's 7% average. Like I'm not interested what the 7W/kg guys are on I'm more interested in what you are on if you think Alaphilippe drops because of a peloton doing tempo on a 16 minute climb at 100km to go
