Giro d'Italia 2025 spoilers

[mjr]

To be honest, for all the riding I've done, I don't think I've ever experienced any benefit from drafting - at least not that I could notice and feel. I don't ride fast enough, I nearly always ride alone, and if not alone I don't ride close enough.

You don't need to be that close, as the slipstream pocket extends about 11m back, but the effect reduces sharply after 7m. Head winds increase the benefit too. Even at my slow speed, I've been helped home a few times, including over hills with a mechanical fault denying me high gears.

I like the atmosphere around the race they convey . I always listen . Their actual race analysis is not great tbh . I get the feeling they don't watch the race that much

Who does? 😉

I'm glad that season's over. The script-writers indulged in far too much silly fan-service wish-fulfilment in the penultimate episode this year. I hope the French show's writers don't feel obliged to compete with that aspect!

Credit to Friebe for being the first reporter I heard predict the outcome. That must annoy some people!

I keep seeing social media clips of a red bull race car doing burnouts in front of the coliseum with a bike on its roof.
I know the whole shebang of everything flying to Rome to finish is a environmental travesty in itself, but this really looks rubbish in so many ways.

He predicted they would all win then just played back the piece that fitted

If I went back through this thread to where I introduced the stealthy Simon narrative . Yeah that was me ... I could construct some serious bragging clout with how I repeated he was under the radar super early in the race

Not bitter at all

Let's go back to the bike radar forum and find my prediction that Yates would win a grand tour this year on the Visma programme.
