That is very interesting. What do you guys think his chances are on the road and what kind of rider he will be, does he have GC ambitions in a GT? 

I hoped that he would rather cement his legacy on the dirt and maybe add a couple of Epic titles to his trophy cabinet.

Going to be very interesting to see how AH does. What kind of team has he joined - top tier or not? 

 

I wonder how many XCO races he will be at...

Most of them that don’t clash with key road races on his schedule apparently. This is not a step away froM Mtb but adding road with a view to reevaluate at the end of 2026. He still Wants that Olympic XCO gold medal….

Depends on his power profile I guess. The view is too transition to more road in 2025 and then select key races that allow the best chance of selection for the 2026 TDF team . Might even get selected in 2025 but he will still be racing XCO next year too

Ya ya I guess the lustre of that golden fleeece is inescapable even for a rider accomplished as Alan. 
Where do you rate his chances on GC? Top 50? Top 20 maybe?
