  Geraint, maybe your memory of France faded during your focus on performance but there are plenty of similar parts with « heavy » roads, narrow lanes and short steep climbs, also in Belgium, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and more. Vosges, Jura, Massif Central, they all have large parts like Rhigos and Caerphilly

  Brexitwashing continues ;-) Hope everyone gets their paperwork and import duties done in time. Best hurry before Trump bans bicycles, too woke and don’t encourage gas guzzling. Pity they didn’t integrate the service tunnel under the Channel, might even have made a spectacular TT. Where next, Faroe Islands (Greenland being too precarious for the moment)?

  A difference between cycling and other sports that no-one considers, Top salaries in cycling are huge compared to budgets and revenues. Too salaries in other sports are far less significant.

  The roads in the UK are very narrow, the roads that're loved by UK cyclists will be experienced by Pros who're used to Majorca or Gran Canaria.. ok it'd be nice for good weather but if it's normal like it was when the Worlds was in Yorkshire, then it'll be extra good imo, but Sun is always sought in the 1st instance 😎

  Probably interesting enough to read in detail (which I’ll do when time frees up). But, knowing what some amateurs and other sport athletes do, I’m surprised that in today’s hyper professional and competitive environment, the amount has not really increased that much, maybe from 30-40k/y in the past 3, 4, 5 (cycling) generations to 40-50k in the most recent 2-3?

  It’s « funny » all this moaning in cyclocross, quite different from road racing where riders seem to have more respect for the winners. It’s as if some are not considered welcome but no-one dares to say it. Imagine TP would get the idea to try his hand at it, would they freak out? Jonas has NEVER complained about losing to TP and he’d be far more entitled to being sour. Without TP, Jonas would have been considered the potential greatest ever tour rider with already 5 TDFs in a row and almost never having been dropped from ANY tour podium. Ok, the pay is better but that’s also the case when comparing cyclocross to even poorer cycling disciplines or other sports.

  Eddy won because Plapp had a brain fart. I think he should look at some of Sagan's WCRR races to understand how he won

  "Do you think there is a gap to UAE Team Emirates in the classics and the Grand Tours? " I would say that there is no gap to UAE team, the gap exists with Only Pogi. Its only one rider that is winning everything GT/Monument related. Pogi alone is ~10th in the world tour team rankings
