No big race/stage being gifted to a teammate.

Primož Roglič.

Primož Roglič.

No... you can't have Primoz Roglic, that's... weird.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

No... you can't have Primoz Roglic, that's... weird.

Yeah, hopefully we won't suddenly have another kidnapper among us.

I would like different excuses for Remco losing races. Stuff like wrong weight, not enough ITT kms, bad winter prep, his team are pants, if Pog or Vingo weren't riding are getting a bit boring. Here's to a new season, in a new team, with new excuses.

Maybe not for Christmas but during the season it's not weird at all.

Yeah... wanting to have a person is weird year-round...

We humans indeed do operate in mysterious ways.

 

[BigCoward]

TNT to go into liquidation so Eurosport comes back and I can watch for free.

 

[CPT. Z]

Natnael Tesfatsion is due to have a breakout year and be dubbed "Mini Bini".

 

[CXXC]

Stuff to go out of fashion-
Extra long socks/shorts
Turned in brake levers
Very narrow handlebars
Moustaches
Outsize TT helmets
White shoes/shorts
Sticky bottles

 

[ice&fire]

3 new GT winners, 5 new monument winners and a new WC. One can dream.

67

Don't...just don't.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Jay Vine to shave his moustache
Ben Healy to win Liège
Wout to get better than 3rd in a Monument
PF-P to win the Vuelta and Tour
Puck to win Liège
Tadej to lose at least one race he enters to someone other than MVDP
For Bob Roll to STFU

A dream, now make it plausible. Who you got for each race?

 

[RedheadDane]

Stuff to go out of fashion-

Very narrow handlebars

UCI is forcing that; banning handlebars narrower than 40 cm, even for Gaia Realini-sized riders.

 

[Netserk]

no more satanic rituals

Giro - Almeida
Tour - Del Toro
Vuelta - Onley
MSR - Bling
RVV - Powless
PR - Pedersen
LBL - Healey
Lombardia - Ciccone
Worlds - Pidcock

 

[RedheadDane]

no more satanic rituals

Has that been a major concern?

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Oh, and I am wishing the usage of the word "GOAT" dies a quick and sudden death. It's a term I would expect to hear from 12 year old boys, discussing basketball.

 

[Netserk]

Has that been a major concern?

yeah, something obscene happened in Alula today

And you knew that Tuesday?
What are you... a time traveller?

agreed to a point.

stay healthy and crash-free, and let the chips fall where they may.

just want to see him with a clean shot (not that he will win anything against pog or Vingo) but just top shape throughout, building from form at end of 2025.
