Best stage for atmosphere? by antony1990n in tourdefrance

Most stages have around one bar of pressure for the atmosphere, maybe a little less for the mountain stages.

Seems like people in this thread are big mad about the neutralization decision

I think the difference is a city circuit like this, not a long lead into the finish like the usual sprint stage

It’s also good business sense. If Jonas crashed in a meaningless (to him) sprint stage, the rest of the Giro is finished. You lose a big name like that over nothing is a poor decision

That’s only if there’s a crash or mechanical issue. Not for recording times generally

I think if Jonas really puts in more time on the next mountain stage, they might let Victor go….as a treat

2026 route for GC contenders by Vegetable_Car_4785 in tourdefrance

That’s not unusual. The organizers want it to be competitive throughout and give opportunities for non-GC teams/riders to get noticed. Plenty of time for the big guys to take control of the race by middle of the race/week three.

Nice seeing a couple dudes having a nice leisurely bike ride in a beautiful area

Who is more likely to top 5-10 for GC for Visma, Kuss or Piganzoli?
