Germany's Sport1 reports that Roglic has agreed to join BORA-hansgrohe with Red Bull paying for the majority of the 3mil€ fee to get him out of his contract. He's also supposed to make 5.5mil€/year there.

FWIW, I never had any idea what hansgrohe even is until I showered at my brother's house a couple weeks ago.

2024 Tour route released. 7 mountain stages and 2 individual tts, including Monaco to Nice on Day 21 which (from my memory of 30 years ago) involves a long winding hilly ascent and descent

Everyone already expected they wouldn't finish in Paris this year but it's still weird to see it on paper now.

Never mind, was thinking of a different site.

Pretty cool to see Matteo Jorgenson take Paris-Nice.

If not for GC Kuss, this would be the biggest thing in American cycling in ages.

Besting Remco, roglic and a bunch of second tier GC guys. Amazing.

What are the odds for Vingegaard, Roglic and Remco all breaking their collarbone in the same crash?

Good for Pogacar to skip the Tour de Basque..

They never tend to all ride the same lead up races anyway to the grand tours - so this was the one that Pogacar did not do. Roglic looks like he escaped but I don't think it will have that much of an effect on Vingegaard's performance in the Tour.
