Profile. Between the Australian World Tour competitions we've got the Surf Coast Classic on the menu. Formerly known as the Race Torquay, the race suits classics specialists but may very well also end in a bunch sprint.
The race begins right away with a long climb, of 9.3 kilometers at 4.3%. This will provide an opportunity for strong riders to go up the road and put the peloton under pressure. The finale, slightly hilly, may put some into difficulties and so plenty riders have chances. Most of the race is rather flat, but in the final 8 kilometers there are two small hilltops and a descent which could instigate dangerous moves.
Lorne - Torquay, 155.6 kilometers

- I think this is actually the first cyclinguptodate article I've seen with the proper accents, so it's an improvement
Llywelynglyndwr17-06-2025 - I really don't see the reason for it being named after the newspaper anymore, so the name change is good. However, I think the new name is a bit of a mouthful, but abbreviations are out of the question. If you wanted to keep it as close as possible to the original it'd be Critérium du Auvegne-Rhône-Alpes (I'm not sure if that's correct)... which is even more of a mouthful. But the race is definitely not a Critérium, which is very misleadingLlywelynglyndwr17-06-2025
- Il Lombardia? with Tadej? mah... in the days prior, I'm sure he will be bitten by a shark.

- Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe need to take Lipowitz to the tour as a co-leader. Taking into account Lipowitz's performances and Roglič's tendency to crash out, it's not an option to sacrifice Lipowitz should Roglič be in trouble. Lipowitz beat Evenepoel by a significant margin in the Critérium du Dauphiné - I think he can fight for the podium. João Almeida would have to sacrifice himself for Pogačar, while I don't think Skjelmose will be putting much of a showing.Llywelynglyndwr17-06-2025
- That's because Del Toro purposefully gave the Giro away. Carapaz actually wanted to win. Sadly, some people have a problem with successLlywelynglyndwr17-06-2025
- If you take the GC of the Giro d'italia 2025 only including Stages 16-21, you'll find that: Simon Yates was the fastest, Richard Carapaz was 2:56 slower, Giulio Pellizzari was 3:17 down, Isaac Del Toro was 5:16 behind, Derek Gee was at 5:49, Damiano Caruso was at 6:17, Einer Rubio was at 7:59, Brandon McNulty was at 8:32, while Michael Storer was at 8:42 and Egan Bernal rounded off the top ten, being 9:24 down and the last rider within 10 minutes. After that the gaps start to baloon, with Rafał Majka at 11:08, Max Poole at 13:34, Adam Yates at 18:16, Davide Piganzoli at 24:42, Nicholas Prodhomme at 28:31, then an almighty jump to Thomas Pidcock who was 42:23 down, then Antonio Tiberi at 46:02, James Knox at 46:25, with Romain Bardet at 49:15 and Diego Ulissi rounding off the top 20, at 57:39 down, being the last rider within 1hr.Llywelynglyndwr17-06-2025
- Florian Lipowitz should seriously be a co-leader for Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe. I really don't want to see him have sacrifice his GC chances like Giulio Pellizzari had to do in Il Giro.Llywelynglyndwr17-06-2025
- I want to see grand tours where Vingo and Remco are there, but without Pogi.Llywelynglyndwr17-06-2025
