Le Tran Blue, best TTT ever!!
I think the last time we saw TTT in a grand tour was at the Vuelta Espana on the year that Alberto Contador did his last season and that Vuelta was his last 3 week race, it was that stage that the last teams to go to the road finished already at nighttime and there were some riders who protested!
And 3 UAE guys top 6! Stage 21 (ITT) (Final)»Monaco›Nice(33.7km)

Why does Lance keep pronouncing Pogacar name incorrectly? Is it on purpose like Trump with Kamala?
I love the new format of the TTT the last time. The time is stopped when the first rider cross the finish line instead of 4. It gives chances to team that doesn't have everyone good in TT. For example: FDJ managed to help Gaudu not loosing minutes. So we can have all the GC contenders don't loose too much time if their team aren't all good TTs.
What is that greenscreen behind Lance…what is that?
I believe Cav is coming to Taiwan to race at Sun Moon Lake in November.
If Jonas did his best numbers ever in 2024 with three weeks of preparation after injury rehab, what will be his numbers in 2025 if he comes to the tour unscathed and fully prepared? Looking forward to another big contest.
This is like when golf said they were going to Tiger proof a course. Newsflash, it's harder for everyone not just Tiger. Worked out real well.
Yes, Lance you did crash and no George it was not at the bottom of the climb. Yes, I know Lance it was a bag from a spectator and George it was somewhere up the climb. I still remember it because I rode up that climb two days before with the late Jos van der Vleuten (GIY). I will never forget that. He was like a dad I perhaps wished I had to me.
The Col de la Loze is in fact a maintenance road/farmers road that is a ski piste in the winter. As there are so many in the Alps. Most of those are not fully paved or just paved with concrete slaps on either side. I can point to at least two or three such climbs in Graubunden, Switzerland at least. Also +25km. Quit frankly I do not see why pro cycling needs to be turned into a circus act, like in last year's Vuelta and Giro. Why do we need to have riders ride up ski pistes at 25%? Nobody will be able to attack, tactics are completely lost on those gradients. It makes no sense to me. I rode the Redoute once, concluded it was like a rollercoaster in a theme park, and decided it was the last time I rode it. I remember turning the corner at the Keutenberg the first time and thinking, you really want me to ride up there?!
This Tour is so hard and yes the transfers are insane. We will see that the GC riders will try to pace themselves until the last week. Otherwise, they are going to 'kill' themselves figuratively.
About the crashes. Elementary my dear Watson. Bikes have become +16% faster in the years since your days' gentlemen (meaning that they are more than 16% faster with the same amount of watts produced by the rider), and routes have become more dangerous with all the road furniture. So it is only logical that we have bigger crashes. Riders say that it is their own fault and that they determine how dangerous it gets, but then I see an Italian champion bounce through a meadow like a doll 2 days after a colleague died on the descent of the Albula in the Tour de Suisse. Even when he already did the same descent in that race final before. Riders say they are in control, but they are the ones that do not brake. They are paid not to brake. So all this discussion blaming others that the sport is too dangerous is a bit silly. Of course, you need to do all you can but physics just says something has to give and in the end, it is always the body that breaks.
Tadej 100% has doped, to think otherwise is to believe that the Tooth Fairy is real, Jonas would have to match his doping levels to compete
I fully agree Lance, The Ventoux is by far the hardest climb I have ever ridden. I was lucky that it was not windy, but the black cloud of flies chasing me in the woods telling me I was going to slow was indeed one big mind fuck. 🙂 The first part I thought my brakes must be slipping against the wheels. You have no sense of the gradient on such a wide road with no real corners.
Team time trial would just mean toddy wins by 10 minutes
Narvias was a great signing for UAE, him and Politt will be great for the 1st 11 days to help Pogachar stay up near the front time wise, then the climbers will start,
Plus would of been nice to incorporate a cobbled stage in there, especially being up north of france
Ciccone will be a dark horse in 2025 in my opinion,(not winning a GT, but will hit the podium in 1 of them), JMO
Unfortunately the next BIG Superstar to hit cycling is already Pogachars team mate, 😉
Call Cav to help with the track bike. He knows a thing or two about it…
