  1. Erik Zabel used to do 105-110 raceday seasons. Mallorca Challenge, a couple of one-weeks, MSR, and the other spring classics, more one-weeks, Tour, Vuelta, Worlds, Paris-Tours.

  2. re: 1:00:00 , the Giro and the Vuelta really should switch slots on the schedule, or, and this would be very controversial, have them held in alternating years in the same calendar slot.

  3. Dunno why exactly, but stage 11 gives me „UAE F*ck up type of operation” vibe, like I bet already that they are gonna for some reason overpace early on and run out of men on Viveros or sth, not like it’s gonna have implications on GC, Pog gonna walk it, but yeah

  4. Thanks for the preview. Organizers got a lot of stick for the heat of 2024 in southern Spain, so explains why they avoided it in 2025. Reports suggest Turin is paying 5million $ for the rights to start the Vuelta so that helps.
