- Just statistically not everyone will crash the same amount for any given distance no matter the identicality of the riding/riders. If they would all start their career at the same time you’d not be able to predict who would crash least/most. There are so many reasons for crashes that you’d have to crash 20x to start seeing a repeating reason for being crash prone, and running into a car door or hitting a hidden bump whilst drinking with one hand don’t really count in tallying, these are just unlucky additions that happen to riders randomly after many near-misses they and every other rider have experienced.Mistermaumau17-06-2025
- Itzulia Basque COUNTRY is the top of ridicule. They are ultra-regionalists/nationalists, If you read, the streets are full of insults against Spain. In the past almost in civil war because they don't want to be part of Spain neither using the Spanish BUT using the English plus Itzulia (tour) would be ok... Craziness. The name should be La Vuelta del Pais Vasco (Spanish) or Euskal Herria (or Herriko) Itzulia.

- Nobody watches cycling for the cool names or beautiful clothing, look at the calendar to see how awkward names fit right into the scheme of the sport which should resist conforming to commercialisation too much. Football already ridiculed itself with selling stadium naming rights, these days we’re more and more overrun by people who think everything should be decided monetarily and live by the motto I’ll do whatever I want since I paid for it, total disregard for society or humanity in general.Mistermaumau17-06-2025
- Doubt it, it is “owned” by ASO since the loss-making newspaper group could no longer afford to stage it. Leaving the actual name presents a whole host of (future) problems, advertising, political leaning, copyright, reputational risk (could go bankrupt). Besides, it isn’t in the least a criterium but nobody seems to have noticed the obvious all these years.Mistermaumau17-06-2025
- Yeah,let’s make it even easier for lazy people and just call it Tara. Most regions have a tour named after the region, many races are by departure and end location, I really don’t see why this one which fits perfectly into the “system” should be shortened, ARA sounds as uncommercial (in most languages) as Alula, nobody complains about the Basque race being called Itzulia Basque Country (and it’s already kind of sad they adopted the English as official) translated into Tour du Pays Basque, Vuelta Ciclista al País Vasco or Euskal Herriko Itzulia. PS don’t know your opinion on it but Gulf of Mexico sounds better than what is being dictated onto whoever succumbs to pressure to conform to whimsies.Mistermaumau17-06-2025
- If you look at how Del Toro answered questions in the following interviews, you can tell that he knows his mistakes, but doesn't want to acknowledge them. @WoutVanAert could give him a lesson or two in that [concerning Dwaars door Vlaanderen]. Del Toro never answered the questions properly - he focused on why he didn't ride in the valley. What we want to know is why he didn't work on the climb. He did actually say he was on the limit, but no-one believes that.
Llywelynglyndwr17-06-2025 - Assume the regions are punting sponsor money in, shame that they can leave the actual name in place, bit like when Het Volk became Het Nieuwsblad!slappers6617-06-2025
- It's been said before by DS'S, JV needs to prepare more, which was pointed out in the winter, not racing isnt a good sign, ok training is training but not racing for soo long...isnt good. I wonder if JV feels the pressure more than TP... like WvA doesn't perform as well with MvdP around.. when Jonas V has beat him, it's been mentally, predominantly
leedorney17-06-2025 - I think it makes sense, ie reading about the race name may make you look into it but that's too hard for this era.. tho shortening it to Tour des ARA makes sense 👍leedorney17-06-2025
