Today is probably the decisive day. EJ is the outright favorite today in Tour de Vendee. He could lose it all.

Instead he masterfully got not just another top-10, but another podium.

 

[11-34]

I guess the competition is over, as I don't think any of the top protagonists are racing again this year. And the winner is (or will be)...

I kinda clocked off mentally after the Vuelta. I'll have to update the spreadsheet so I can post the final standings.

[Dazed and Confused]

Congrats to EJ. With 62 race days in 2025 (according to PCS), the consistency is pretty good. Hopefully he can convert this consistency into a couple more wins in 2026.

 

[11-34]

EJ starts the seasons with a strong third place. Consistency is pretty good indeed.
