Should do a single grand tour in September. 7 stages in Italy, 7 in Spain, 7 in France. 2 rest days. All the big hitters there. Do the Zoncolan, Angliru, and Huez in the same tour. Would be a spectacle for the world.

I believe Matteo had floated that idea. I would be in for that

The spring classics are often the best races of the year. I am partial to the Hell of the North.

Some questions about the NBC Gold package:

It says $9.99 but that it "Was $54.99" (will it auto-renew yearly at $54.99)?

Also, does it DVR the stages in case you miss one?

TIA

they are currently discussing if it is feasible to do witouth the mass starts in towns with crowds, etc... we'll see..


They should just have all the riders buy Pelotons and go at it simultaneously in their respective living rooms.

I did one this morning. They are brutal. Make you sure you start ramping up the power 15-20 secs before the start or you will lose the front group immediately.

don't forget to grossly underreport your weight and to sandbag by joining races two categories below your actual FTP and power to weight ratio.
