- I think this is actually the first cyclinguptodate article I've seen with the proper accents, so it's an improvement
- 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 misleading
- Il Lombardia? with Tadej? mah... in the days prior, I'm sure he will be bitten by a shark.
- You got Rhône correct, but still struggling with Pogačar.
- 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.
- That's because Del Toro purposefully gave the Giro away. Carapaz actually wanted to win. Sadly, some people have a problem with success
- 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.
- 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.
- I want to see grand tours where Vingo and Remco are there, but without Pogi.
- The best riders really just get on with their life after retirement. Take the example of Cav
