Who are you looking forward to seeing BACK in 2025, who wasn't able to perform at their best last season for whatever reason?

It's Neilson Powless and Liane Lippert for me.

I'm looking forward to what Alaphilippe can do with a new team. And I look forward to what Chloe Dygert has in store.

joshs.nyc•62 days ago

Wout, jacobson, girmay, longo borghini, uttrup Ludwig, van empel (road).

phdcycles.bsky.social•62 days ago

Marta Cavalli and Wout van Aert
I’m sure there are more but this are the two that immediately came to mind as really deserving a break this season!

“I can still feel my knee every day, and even my back and ribs from that crash in March.” He also tells that he feels the knee which he injured in a crash at the Vuelta a España, where a deep wound had him in the hospital for several days.”

And that was just one of three crashes last year.

theflandrien.bsky.social•62 days ago

No Flanders, no Roubaix, no Giro, diminished TDF…then no historic points/KOM combo at Vuelta because of another crash. It was….a lot.

mrkruzan.bsky.social•62 days ago

Uttrup Ludwig and Vingegaard.

topganna.bsky.social•62 days ago

So many who were out with injuries and illness last season, but I'll go with Lennard Kämna and Marlen Reusser.

filiberre.ke•62 days ago

Oh, how could I forget Reusser!

nonslagter.bsky.social•62 days ago

Andreas Kron, really looking forward to see what he can do for Uno-X

Seconded 🤞🏻

writebikerepeat.bsky.social•62 days ago

Oh yes thirded!

emceefee.bsky.social•62 days ago

Neilson Powless for me too. My personal favorite!

simiscyclist.bsky.social•62 days ago

Sergio Higuita and Marta Cavalli, if both manage to revive their 2022 form then we're in for a treat 😃

writebikerepeat.bsky.social•62 days ago

I really need to see Marta back to her best, if she can get there it will be amazing to see how she stacks up now.

mikewilsonruns.bsky.social•62 days ago

Fred Wright
Sepp Kuss

I deliberately didn’t say David because he seemed to be getting some mojo back at the end of the season and I didn’t want to jinx anything. But he was in my heart like a secret wish, so fate couldn’t hear.

(Yes I know I’m ridiculous 🫣)

thiotrix.bsky.social•62 days ago

I'm still amazed by Bernal.Can he get stronger still? I think it would be great to see a stage win from him. Also Carapaz had a crash and illness, and I think he can do better.

aracer.bsky.social•62 days ago

Chris Froome 😈

iridiumscythe.bsky.social•62 days ago

Wout van Aert staying crash-free on the road in 2025!!

delphinusrt.bsky.social•62 days ago

Neilson & Tao.

pouic.bsky.social•62 days ago

Guys, i have listed all your names.
Now please line up in an orderly manner and present your rear end so that i can scold you with stingy nettles for not saying Marta Cavalli before anyone else.

You freakin monsters !

pouic.bsky.social•62 days ago

Come on, chop chop If you act fast enough I might spare those who quoted Marlen Reusser, and queen Pauline of house Cycling, first of her name.

claudiabuch.bsky.social•61 days ago

Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig. Andreas Kron. And Anna van der Breggen 😉

Kind of cheating cause she was great early but Cadzow

mariepluscats.bsky.social•62 days ago

I'm curious to see how Sepp Kuss does, was 2023 some kind of ridiculous high water mark for him or was 2024 the outlier?

writebikerepeat.bsky.social•62 days ago

Good question. The covid seemed to affect him really badly so it's tough to know for sure.

mariepluscats.bsky.social•62 days ago

probably the most likely answer to my question is both: 2023 was a ridiculous high water mark and the covid really tanked him for all of 2024, but it will be interesting to see it shake out!

izzlekicks.bsky.social•62 days ago

Does Ineos as a team count? 😅

writebikerepeat.bsky.social•62 days ago

Sure why not 😅

philipta.bsky.social•62 days ago

Cecilie Uttrup, obviously.

Egan Bernal, at least to some of his former GT level.

Wout van Aert, wasn’t completely gone last year, but hopefully more to his previous level.

Quite interested to see what Anna van der Breggen can do.

And of course it’ll be good to see Theodor Storm racing again.

dafyddllywelyn.bsky.social•62 days ago

Sam Bennett, Caleb Ewan, Bettiol, Van Barle and last (and probably least) Cecile Uttrip Ludwig

Vince Gerits !

sophie.lesbian.cat•62 days ago

im still hoping for the return to forms for bernal, geoghegan hart, and marlen reusser. its been some time now but them being good in their respective races would add a lot for viewing

writebikerepeat.bsky.social•62 days ago

Oh yes absolutely agree on all counts! Intrigued to see Marlen at a new team too!

sophie.lesbian.cat•62 days ago

for sure! im cheering for all of the former sdworx riders, should be great for the sport to have the talent dispersed around the peloton a bit more evenly

burgi14.bsky.social•62 days ago

Lenni Kaemna and Marta Cavalli for me! ;-)

likearollingstone1.bsky.social•62 days ago

Gaia Realini and Pippo Ganna

tonke.bsky.social•62 days ago

Taco. His pictures of his cycling trip in New Zealand make me insanely jealous though. And Fabio, I really need good things for him 🧡

wetdarkandwild.bsky.social•62 days ago

I would love Fabio to have a good year. It's been a year of watching him suffer. So hard to see. And I really want Wout to have an injury-free year. But I really feel for sprinters who have a long run of not getting a win, or of not even finishing.

tonke.bsky.social•62 days ago

A lovely interview with Fabio came out this morning 🫶🏻https://bsky.app/profile/tonke.bsky.social/post/3lf55q27sac22

wetdarkandwild.bsky.social•61 days ago

Thanks! I really hope he'll be able to survive those mountains better. I hate to watch him struggle so much.

tonke.bsky.social•62 days ago

Fabio is a really kind person, a joy to listen to. Hoe he survived and made his comeback is so inspiring. I am incapable of not cheering for him. I really hope they’ve figured out how he can climb better to survive stages and be able tot sprint, because seeing him suffer hurt a lot last year.

wetdarkandwild.bsky.social•61 days ago

I think Fabio is someone a lot of us really care about. His recovery was so inspiring and his sprinting so brave. This sounds positive. He needs to get up those mountains.

chrisjson.bsky.social•62 days ago

Hanna Nilsson!

guachi.bsky.social•62 days ago

Simpatico on the answers. There's not much racing in the US but I was excited to see Powless at US Nationals help his teammate win as they tag-teamed poor McNulty.
