Which rider is going to announce their 2025 schedule first?

[Peyroteo94]

Pogacar. Other riders will try to avoid him.

 

[Berniece]

Pogacar. Other riders will try to avoid him.

They didn't avoid him this year, doubt they'll avoid him next.

 

[Anderis]

Pogacar. Other riders will try to avoid him.

Would be funny if he announced to ride all major races and the others would just ride 1.1 and 2.1 races all year.

 

[houtdffan]

Remco has balls. He wont avoid pog

 

[wirral]

Remco has balls. He wont avoid pog

Agreed.

He does not need to prove anything to anyone.

 

[Rockestar_33]

Pog usually announces first. I suspect Roglic will follow not long after, we know he's targeting the Suisse and Tour, and also probably Vuelta. Paris-Nice and Itzulia to start the season maybe?

 

[AmRacer]

I think Remco will be the last one announcing

 

[wirral]

I think Remco will be the last one announcing

Does a non-announcement of non-attendance actually count as an announcement??

 

[Earns1985]

Tomorrow it will start with Pogacar´s schedule..

 

[Peyroteo94]

Tomorrow it will start with Pogacar´s schedule..

So predictable. There is really not a single GC rider who plans his schedule without looking to TP. Maybe only Vingegaard.

 

[houtdffan]

Remco and pat basically announced theirs already. giro/tour with a delayed start

Smart by Remco. He can't win the Tour next season for mine, focus on winning the Giro without Jonas, Tadej or Primoz there and aim for the Tour podium. Probably does Strade, Tirreno and the Ardennes classics, Giro, break, Tour and finish with the spring Italian classics?

He won’t ride Strade, too much a risk after his crash

 

[Rockestar_33]

Any race could be seen as risky after his crash.

 

[Berniece]

Any race could be seen as risky after his crash.

In 2022 only 86 riders finished, in 2023 129, and in 2024 105. Obviously of all races Evenepoel could ride to start racing again, Strade Bianche isn't the one to go to. Have you seen him on the gravel stage in the Tour this year? He has improved, but his cornering, and general ability to ride a bike is still much worse than the likes of Pogacar. Don't see why he would take the risk and ride Strade.

Yeah, thought he was fine. I think Strade should be a goal for him at some point but obviously you disagree.

No need to be so aggressive about it mate

 

[Froome]

My predicted schedule for Jonas

December training camp
Family time
Altitude camp
O gran Camino

Family time
Altitude camp.
Tour de france

Family time - end of season

" O Gran Vingoyard".

 

[Froome]

Roglic -Giro and Tour
Remco- Giro and Tour
Pogacar-Tour and Vuelta
Vingegaard-Tour and Vuelta

 

[Berniece]

Aggressive? Not what I intended, but I get that the wording seems a bit like it. It's quite direct. My apologies.

I would like to see him race Strade sometime, but not now if I can chose. Do it after training a bit more on your bike handling, and not coming out of injury.

 

[Berniece]

Pogacar's schedule is quite packed. Can't see him ride the Giro, unless they just want to go all out this season and just win everything, as well as 3 GT's.

17/02-23/02	UAE Tour
08/03	Strade Bianche
22/03	Milaan-Sanremo
28/03	E3 Saxo Classic
30/03	Gent-Wevelgem
06/04	Ronde van Vlaanderen
20/04	Amstel Gold Race
23/04	Waalse Pijl
27/04	Luik-Bastenaken-Luik
09/05-01/06	Ronde van Italië (maybe)
08/06-15/06	Dauphiné (won't ride in case of Giro)
05/07-27/07	Ronde van Frankrijk
23/08-14/09	Ronde van Spanje (maybe)

Now that the king of the jungle has realesed his schedule expect all others to plan there after. Law of the jungle.

He is not even the king of his house or the king of his country, how can he be the king of the jungle?

I dont know dude, its just the law of the jungle and how it goes. Now all the fish and wolves etc will plan thereafter and avoid him like the plage where its possible. Such is the law of the jungle, write that down.

Looking forward to see WVA and MVDP not ride De Ronde

 

[Berniece]

You know thats not what I meant - hence ''where its possible''. Its only natural after last years slaughter.

Law of the jungle wether or not you like, everyone bend to the apex predator

You said riders will avoid him like the plague, please tell me which races of Pogacar's schedule won't have one of the big 6. As far as I can tell only UAE Tour, which is more of a obligated sponsor tour for Pogacar.
