It wasn’t easy this time! Here’s my #8nationstdf for 2025 (actually it’s #6nationstdf because the first 2 are fixed):Vingegaard 🇩🇰
Pogacar 🇸🇮
Van der Poel 🇳🇱
Merlier 🇧🇪
Lipowitz 🇩🇪
Vauquelin 🇫🇷
Girmay 🇪🇷
Mas 🇪🇸@[email protected] so far there are 3 fixed as you can add Girmay too (the no conflict sprinter option). Belgium has too many options.

Playing it safe for #7nationsgirowomen with only favorites. Hardest choice was 🇳🇱 between Wiebes and DemiLongo Borgini 🇮🇹
Kopecky 🇧🇪
Ludwig 🇩🇰
Labous 🇫🇷
Lippert 🇩🇪
Vollering 🇳🇱
Reusser 🇨🇭@[email protected] I don’t think Demi is riding. She’s not on the PCS listing.
@[email protected] thanks Mark! I’m shocked she isn’t. In that case I’d like to substitute Demi with Lorena Wiebes please. Thanks
@[email protected] I assumed that’s what you should say 😃
I assume she is 100% focused on TDFF. There’s no Niewiadoma either, or Realini, Le Court, Faulkner or Ferrand-Prévot.@[email protected] yes, skipping big faces to focus on other races is a new phenomenon in women’s cycling. Maybe a sign of growing maturity.
@[email protected] and yet the men ride the Dauphiné or Tour de Suisse before TDF. If they move Giro Women into June to escape the shadow of the TDF then there will be quite a gap between the Giro Women and TDFF.
@[email protected] my picks:
Mathieu van der Poel (NED)
Tadej Pogacar (SLO)
Jonas Vingegaard (DEN)
Biniam Girmay (ERI)
Jasper Philipsen (BEL)
Carlos Rodriguez (ESP)
Jonathan Milan (ITA)
João Almeida (POR)#8NationsTDF
