***Official 2025 Pro Cycling Thread*** - This year a Grand Prize!!! (1 Viewer)

First edition entered. I should write this one down and see how it fares vs my 358th version.

Last race my first edition had Rondel 242, Martinez 659, Vine 776 = 1677 for Remo 633, Plapp 5, and one of Leonard/Sobero/Arcas 5/5/0 = 638. Difference between winning and 5th in our league. I'd also be 2nd overall in the stage race championship overall instead of 66th.

I'll hit up my company's marketing manager (me) for some prizes.

I got in in time. Wow

Whoever put together today's woman's Spain stage should be shot. I don't know why race organizers put together such dangerous finishes. Even without the rain, a 90 degree turn that close to the finish is basically ensures whoever's through that corner first is going to finish first.

Can Simon Yates FINALLY Win the Giro d'Italia in 2025?

the comments are gold:

• maybe he can win a bonus sprint from a breakaway
• Oh please. No
• no
• Can Simon Yates win the Giro?
• Nope

 

[BobbyLayne]

he does have 6 stage wins but none since 2022

Brits and their athletes....

Get your Velogames Giro team in. Sand is giving out prizes this year for something related to the Grand Tours.

Nah, I'm in a bunch of rookie drafts and don't want to figure out fantasy cycling. Nice to have a place to complain about sprint finishes, though.

Women's Vuelta stage was a terrible setting for a final sprint. Predictably half the peloton got wiped out in a big crash (the back half, thankfully).
