@NairoInGreen @cyclisme_pepite Best WC course of the post-Covid era.

@NairoInGreen De Lie is slowly morphing into Bettiol with every year that goes by.

[Nicola Scopolini @NScoop96]

@BenjiNaesen Imho, in recent years, Giro 2016 is only topped by Tour 22, and thats most due to the combination of not only GC drama but also insane breakaway stages like Mende.

[Nicola Scopolini @NScoop96]

@BenjiNaesen The Sportive/Gran Fondo aspect is critical: being in the race weekend means higher partecipation and thus more revenue for the organizer/cities, but it requires a full day. The same constraint prevents from having Strade Bianche Womens on Sunday and a full coverage for the mens.

[Nicola Scopolini @NScoop96]

@LucGrefte At least let's end the Strade Bianche, Tirreno and P-N overlap ( maybe moving Strade back to october?).
Also one of the two Swiss WT one week races has to go (Romandie?).

[Nicola Scopolini @NScoop96]

@markrprior @lucasaganronald They had Drenthe and Binda, plus Strade (wich for uci points it is actually counting like a monument)

[Nicola Scopolini @NScoop96]

@LucGrefte Compared to google maps, the first 100 meters were repaved with smooth asphalt, still dangerous (peloton coming full speed after a 2 k 6,5% descent) but at least no gravel in the corner.

[Nicola Scopolini @NScoop96]

@BenjiNaesen The final loop is still to hard for MVDP against Pogi. However, new route looks perfect for Jorgenson and Seixas to follow the alien on Monte Sante Marie (and hopefully one of the two can at least last for 1 lap) .

[Nicola Scopolini @NScoop96]

@laflammerouge16 I still think MVDP won't come untill they remove the Tolfe loop

[Nicola Scopolini @NScoop96]

@bvdecape The cut some sectors but the wrong ones inho. The issue was the Pinzuto Tolfe loop, not the total gravel km!

[Nicola Scopolini @NScoop96]

@laflammerouge16 The descent from Borgatello straight into the gravel sector can be dangerous if a lareg peloton is racing there.

[Nicola Scopolini @NScoop96]

@laflammerouge16 What a waste of the hardest cilmb in the northen Appennines. Please at least loop it, since is so easy with the radici descent from the tuscan side...

[Nicola Scopolini @NScoop96]

@laflammerouge16 Same vibes as the Ciccone Cogne stage, not suited for a GC third week showdown. Not a fan.
