We don't... need to plan some of the longer stages, but so far, it's been fine.

Your friends at Scottish and British Cycling never told you. They have known for a long time. Shame...again!

There are many factors that come into play...carbon bikes, disc brakes, road surfaces, speed, narrow bars, radio...

La Vuelta does seem like the logical choice...winning all 3 GT'S...he is the World Champ already. It's all about making history...

Don't get me wrong...MSR is not easy but like you say...Roubaix hides other elements...

MSR is easier than Roubaix... I think he will do all 5 monuments one day, but not until he gets 5 Tour wins...

If he was really confident on the Tour, he would risk Roubaix...

Good luck with that...
Just allow riders to receive Race Radio. All information and safety issues. No pressure from the DS's.

Believe me...not stupid. There is more risk in the peloton. And that comes from riders in that peloton.
You are right on UCI and Organisers blaming the riders.

I think it's a good thing but does need to be monitored way better than it is now. The trouble is that many events don't have line to line coverage, and a comm can't see from a following car. Obviously, this will not detract from taking risks on descents.

A skeleton elite program for 2025.
Well done to all organisers for their commitments to put on their event. Without you, BC would have nothing.
I would not be motivated by a calendar like this and would plan some racing in Europe. That does come at a higher expense. I do feel for all elite riders
