High level remarks:
High mountain stage on Stage 4 already
Remco’s first Tour de France
Stages 1-3 longer than 200 kms
Bora will likely have Jai and Roglič as co leaders
Visiting the Alps twice - that’s remarkable
23 km or something gravel segment somewhere to shake up the nerves of the mechanics
Starting in the Tuscany hills - exciting!
Ending with a time trial in Nice - juicy drama - Olympics owning Paris for summer 2024
2024 route revealed, starting in Florence, ending in Nice.
GC favourites - Pog, Rog and the Dane, I guess. Where is the French champion? And who can succeed Nibali in the Italian space.
Gee signs for another 2 years with Ineos. 16th or something years as a professional. Who will represent the UK-based outfit?

Many thanks, Tim
Looks like Jonah will be making an appearance this coming March!
Whoohooooo!
I want to tandem the Argus with my son. He turns 11 in December. What are the rules and regulations with kids and age limits?

Durbie Dash 2023, haven't lined up for this event for many seasons.
Those Dutch ouens behind me look hyper focused, hey.
Beautiful to see how Durbanville became an endurance playground for the day - so many bicycles and cyclists of all shapes, sizes and ages.
Three minute turns over 30 kms ***LOADING***
Being in a hurry most of the time reduces your quality of life.

That was a stunning course, hey. Really enjoyed the vineyard scenery and steep gradients.
What a ride by both Mohoric and Vermeersch, and the surprise performance from Connor Swift.
Oom Valverde showed his class too, finishing ahead of American star, Swenson.
The world of gravel is on the uptick. And the WorldTour roadies migrates quite successfully thus far.

Fausto Coppi was the last ride to three-peat Lombardia.
8 Monument starts for Pogačar; 5 wins!
All 5 monuments won by breakaway artists - two for MvdP, 2 for Pogačar and one for Remco.
Pogačar simply remarkable this year. Even 2nd at Tour de France after a setback.
Angry wind gods
Now that is a rainbow jersey result that is so worthy. Awesomeness!

I've been so looking forward to this Monument.
It's been somewhat of an afterthought and forgotten race. Now with Pog, Ron, Remco, a resurgent Carapaz and co' it is now really picked up in status. Tadej is on a hat trick..
Spare a thought for Classics specialist, Greg van Avermaet, who is retiring, alongside Peter Sagan, of course. And the Frenchie and previous winner, Thibault Pinot.
This course suits Ben Healy a bit. Hope he's in the mix.
The Steppers stepping for the Belgian Champ. What’s happening with the double World Champ in Alaphillippe - dipping career arc after that terrible high speed crash.
Tour de France 2024:
Cav signs another year with Astana with a much better contract
Roglič to sign with a certain German team and return next year to pursue the Golden Fleece?
Remco - where art thou going?
Cervelô to make way for Specialized with the most successful team in 2023?
