Tour De Rotorburn 2025 - Starts Sat 5th July

Last year, 2024 was the first year in a long time that they raced stage 21 without neutralising the GC riders as it finished in Nice, instead of the Champagne Champs Elysees cruise and people were excited about it. I believe this is whey they are doing the hill climbs at the end, to make it as exciting as the Nice finish in 2024.

Watching them sip chardonnay and patting each others bums is shithouse. Race till the end.

no real incentive for Pog..
no need for Vine or Pog to respond.
if WVA can keep up front on the last climbs.... 6km downhill to finish..

I chickened out, I have Pog as triple pointer. Never (maybe, not looked it up) has the TDF winner, won in Paris, will he try ?

I do have WVA, Quinn etc in the team.

 

[ozzybmx]

too late to change now...

Yep, watching the neutral zone.

He's won a lot, will his ego want to win again rather than be safe ? Will he risk a crash when hes already won the tour for glory on the Champs Elysees.

 

[ozzybmx]

let's hope so

Anyone who has Healey, he's just been nominated the most combative of the tour = 90pts

1st pos @rangersac has Milan as capt.
3rd pos Le Garcon has Merlier as capt.

Coupla sprinters in the mix.

2nd pos, I have Poggy

Well done to all!
Will we see @ozzybmx spilling the beans on Oprah in the coming years?

WVA finally pays off after carrying him for half the Tour!

It's like we got to see the Wout of a few years ago, when - as Tom Pidcock so succinctly put it,

“He’s playing with our balls isn’t he?” Pidcock said of Wout van Aert’s breakaway exploits.
“I don’t know what to say to be honest. He’s taking the piss isn’t he?”

Tom Pidcock's message to Wout van Aert: Stop playing with our balls

The Brit succinctly sums up a day of dominance from the Belgian.

Well done all ! It really did come down to the final stage and a whole lot of luck.

WVA drafted in on stage 20, gets the final stage 21 win which landed 283 points.

As I have forseen it. Once again, the mighty Ozzy crushes all comers like bugs under the heel of his Crack Brothers shoes...

was it a decent last stage, or a yawnfest?

I went to bed just after 1:30am, it started at 23:30, they were doing 15kph taking pictures and chatting. I was cooked after a few decent 12hr days.

3 weeks of the tour catches up on the watchers too

Yeah, I've filled in a team. Not sure my heart's in it this year.
I messaged Oz a couple of weeks ago. Looked Like he had a fair bit on that was taking his attention.

Jeebus, stage 5 already. Flat one for the sprinters, hopefully. They will all be toeier than a Roman sandal in tonight's stage to Pau!
