I think there is a route already, but not properly mapped out. It's extremely hard. The hardest WC ever apparently, so a big chance for Pogacar to win it.
I'm looking forward to see the route. I hope for a very hard and successful WC, Africa needs to bring more riders to cycling.

He did this multiple time already, doubt he feels much impact
Yes 2022 was such a big success

I mean, its Pogi we are talking about, so he´s probably going to win it all anyway, but it can´t be optimal to mess up your circadian rhythm twice during the most important training phase before a big race.

There is no route as you say as i understand but they list the climbs being used and as you say it will be one of the toughest WCs certainly in recent memory

5500? Wow! There is a 5 km climb at 10% expecting us. Pure carnage!

This is a guess of what the 2025 route would look like, although I don‘t think there‘s anything official yet

This is what a proper analysis is and not "eh we win or we lose eh"

"Primoz Roglic (Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe) and I have lost count. We are in a golden age of Slovenian cycling. There is a very good spirit, and I am happy to be part of it. Let's hope we can add the World Championships to our list!
As Slovenia we have never really shone at the World Championships. That is certainly no secret. I really hope that we can finally change that and win the gold.
The course? It's tough, but not too tough. Still, it's the riders who make the race. Last year, people were thinking about a sprint at the World Championships, but we were far from that. This year, it's a bit more for climbers than in 2023, but above all, it's a punchy circuit for explosive riders. It also has some technical parts. All in all, perfect for a World Championship.
If Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) is in super good shape, he will be able to fight for it, surprise and win. I am sure that Wout van Aert (Team Visma | Lease a Bike) could have flown on a course like this, but unfortunately he is not there. And Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step) is, just like me, a very versatile rider who can win on any terrain," said Tadej Pogačar

Can Roglic agree to be a super dom for Pogacar?

I really have to see to believe.
