Oh, that is very cool, I didn't know that! I like it...Christmas kind of needs an official second day. (If New Years' gets one, why not Xmas?)

Decathlon is good, NSN is pretty good, RBBH and Lidl are eh, and I'm not sure EF will be its usual *chef's kiss.*

Not expecting a lot out of Visma, UAE, or Alpecin, unfortunately.

Maybe we will be pleasantly surprised!

*starts twitching and frothing at the mouth at the very thought of GLP-1s…*

Nah, here it’s back to work immediately on the 26th. 🙁

(Unless you’re like me, pull seniority, and take the 26th and 27th off every year.)

Though wait, is this a 12 Days Of Christmas reference? I know that doesn’t start until the 25th, yeah?

Man, here you all are giving reasonable explanations and everything.

Here I am thinking a post-Christmas lie-in is the perfect gift to oneself! 😆

I literally giggled at the * optional on Gavere.

Just in case Christmas was TOO much fun? 😆

As a dedicated Tadej Pogacar fan...I AGREE! 👏👏

I don't like how GTs are just focusing on being harder and harder and harder, it does not make for fun or competitive racing. Not to mention it scares off everyone who ISN'T a climber/climber dom.

Didn't say there's a dang thing wrong with it. 😂

I actually liked the denim more than most fans (and apparently the team themselves) did!
December 10, 2025 at 6:42 PM
Look, if it's clean, it works. 🤣

It's not like there are people just waiting to take your picture and put it on the internet, right? Wait...👀
December 10, 2025 at 4:56 PM
Hey, you use what you've got around the house, right? 😆

Agreed, his last two seasons were so borked from rushing back from injury, so I am so eager to see how this spring goes. I don't doubt that there is a secondary list of races to add if things go well.
December 10, 2025 at 2:06 PM
There is a LOT of wiggle room in that schedule, probably by design. If things go well, maybe more races will be added. I think It's a smart move & well paced.

I've heard unconfirmed rumors that RBBH has "committed" to a 2 year "Remco Plan" where he gets 1st pick on everything. So we will see!

Behold the "Canadian Tuxedo"!
December 10, 2025 at 1:55 PM
Yeah. Funny, this cut makes him look 40 years old, but when it's flat on his forehead, he looks about 14 years old. Contains multitudes, does our Pogi. 🤣
December 10, 2025 at 1:54 PM
Canada's half sponsoring the team now and denim is kind of their thing, so I'm not hopeful about that. 😆
December 10, 2025 at 1:43 PM
Yeah, there's too much head, not enough hair. 😆 His hair is also still wet, which doesn't help.

I like it when he's short on the sides and tufty up top, but this is a little too short. Give it a couple of weeks and it should look better.
December 10, 2025 at 1:00 PM
Wooo, that is SHORT! But his hair grows very quickly, so we’ll be back to full tuftage by Xmas. 😆

Thanks for the pics!
December 10, 2025 at 12:15 PM
Yeah, 'fun' does not equal being stuck in a room with the same people I spend 8-10hrs a day with anyway until well past my bedtime when I have to be back in the office tomorrow. No thanks.

Kitty time and baking shows for meeeee!
