CyclingThursday, 06 February 2025 at 00:38
From the 5th of February to the 9th, the peloton is in France and will race the Etoile de Bessèges. It is the opening stage-race of the French calendar in 2025. We preview stage 2.
Stage 2 is the day perhaps best suit to the fast men. Although it's not completely flat, the finale in Marguerittes will be well suited to the sprinters as long as they have decent form and climbing legs to make it there.
Stage 2: Domessargues - Marguerittes, 166.3 kilometers
Prediction Etoile de Bessèges 2025 stage 2:
*** Paul Magnier, Jordi Meeus, Mads Pedersen
** Arnaud De Lie, Simon Dehairs, Marijn van den Berg
* Arnaud Démare, Madis Mijkels, Paul Penhoët, Filippo Ganna, Sam Bennett, Magnus Cort Nielsen, Soren Waerenskjold, Sasha Weemaes
** Arnaud De Lie, Simon Dehairs, Marijn van den Berg
* Arnaud Démare, Madis Mijkels, Paul Penhoët, Filippo Ganna, Sam Bennett, Magnus Cort Nielsen, Soren Waerenskjold, Sasha Weemaes
Pick: Paul Magnier

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
