Hottest Takes In Cycling 2025! | GCN Racing News Show

[@gcnracing]

Which prediction do you think is most likely to come true? Let us know in the comments below! 👇

[@Nescio527]

None, like every year. Something more serious, that Pog is going to win a lot seems very likely to me. That WvA is going to win a cobblestone monument, is possible, but VDP is better and Pog is coming to Flanders. See WvA only have a chance in PR for RVV, he is just not good enough. VDP has always been the better of the two in RVV. Only Pog can beat a good VDP in RVV.

[@ljhokk]

For Ayuso it will be difficult to win Giro d'Italia but he can do it.The problem he will face is Roglic who will be firs favourite to win Giro d'Italia considering that most likely Pogacar and Vingegaard will not start at the Giro d'Italia.Since begining of 2019 season Roglic won 3 out of 5 Grand Tours when there was no both Pogacar and Vingegaard.So that hot I don't think it will happen in 2025 and for me most likely hot take that can happen is Milan winning green jersy at Tour de France.

[@lg3721]

Alaphilippe will (finally) win Liege Bastogne Liege in 2025

[@T2Lam10]

1. Vingegaard and Pogacar will be separated by less than 1 minute at the end of the Tour. 2. Pogacar will not participate in La Vuelta after his epic battle with Jonas in the Tour to focus on destroying everyone in WC and Lombardy. 3. WVA will beat MVDP in a majestic sprint in Roubaix, finally catching his dream. 4. Remco Evenepoel will not win any prestigious road race (GT / monuments / WC). 5. Mads Pedersen will race smartly (boldest prediction by far) 6. MVDP will be WC in CX and MTB, beat Tadej Pogacar in a sprint in Sanremo before losing another epic battle with the slovenian in Flanders. 7. Roglic will beat Ayuso and Yates on the Giro. 8. Pogacar will attack on Monte Sante Marie again, just because he finds it funny.

[@Andy_ATB]

MvdP - MTB; Which discipline? Marathon, Short Track, or XCO??? He'll need to get back on the MTB and race it regularly; he can't just turn up like Pidcock can.

Well, on the subject of Hot Takes...in the slightly less prestigious GCN racing ranks, Dan deserves to take a victory lap for predicting the exact order of GCN Presenter drop-outs.

[@the_mystery_ray1129]

Thibau Nys will win an Ardenne classic

[@chrisjenkins3917]

Is GCN obligated to only highlight racing being available on Discovery+ and Max? In the US, Max provides coverage of RCS races, Peacock has ASO races, and FloBikes has Flanders Classics races. I know it'd be complicated to put all that detail in a video (especially country-by-country), but it would be a valuable service if GCN compiled info on how to watch any given race and left the link in the video description. THANKS as always for the wonderful content produced by the team! We're grateful to have GCN!! Happy New Year!

[@marcr7583]

my hot takes: 1. EF wins a grand tour (wishful thinking but would love to see it!) 2. Wout gets it together and is focused on one goal and wins big in Roubaix 3. Marlen Reusser wins le tour because she has nothing to lose 4. Marc Hirschi is the first on Mont Ventoux with Alaphilippe helping him on the Tour 5. no major doping scandal during the season 6. Ghirmay wins a classic 7. Ineos is being dissolved and a big pharma team replaces it

[@louisfourie800]

Roubaix is verry bold

[@sltgaming1078]

@louisfourie800 He was very strong in the cobbles last year. I imagine that trek bora and visma will attack MVDP a lot of times to get him tired. After this Milan will beat Philipsen and WVA in the Velodrome

[@rulifaller8474]

My main takeaway is that you hate Alpecin.

[@shahrynnedmunds1921]

I would watch del toro and abrahamsen this year. They may not win, but I think they will both start to rise toward the top and stand out in the next couple of years.

[@peterarmstrong7873]

Great content as always. No idea if any predictions will turn out to be correct though. I just hope that we don’t suffer as many big names being hurt like in 2024….🤞

[@Jo13speed]

I think Jonas would win tdf as the course, as seen, is built around all the climbs where he dropped Pogi. Another prediction for me is that MDVP will take Paris-Roubaix but Wout would take the rest when the course is more hilly.

[@Nescio527]

Rather the other way around. VDP is better and more explosive on the short climbs. LBL is too heavy for Van Aert, and he has no chance against Pog and Remco. RVV is between Pog and VDP this year. In PR Van Aert is equal to VDP.

[@tonyg3091]

which are the others?

[@Jo13speed]

@@Nescio527 Yeah. Make sense

[@J-cz7yv]

The only wins we’ll see from Jonas will be in 1 week stage races. He will not race the Giro, if he does it’s because he knows he cannot win the Tour.

[@clarencecorbeil1061]

My predictions (mostly hopes) -Wout wins again (whatever it is, but he does win). -Jonas winning again -Pog doing Pog things (winning Milan-San Remo, and races he hasn't won yet) -Roglič winning Tour de Suisse (because that's the only one-week WT race he hasn't won yet) -We have a real EPIC quartet battle on TdF (Roglič, Pogačar, Vingegaard and Evenepoel battling it out for the ages) -Vollering winning with a team entirely behind her -Derek Gee having more wins (and more attacks) -Remco doing Remco things (with no crashes) -And for us viewers: having a blast watching all these races during 2025!

[@monsiogabar525]

Glad to have been featured on the video after getting 3 out of 4 predictions right. Thanks! Well, since Pogi got me featured on the video, I will take it up a notch. Pogacar makes history again in 2025, winning four Monuments in a single season (MSR, RVV, LBL, and Lombardia) and the not-yet-achieved version (for males at least) of the Triple Crown (Tour, Vuelta, and the WCRR). He'll also reach 30 wins next season. Thanks for the vids this year! Happy New Year!

[@Blog4Justice]

You don't have to be Mystic Meg to foresee that! 🙂

[@monsiogabar525]

@@Blog4Justice Not as easy to predict. - MSR is always a lottery and is still the hardest Monument to predict. - Who knows how Pogi vs MVDP will go at RVV 2 years after their battle in 2023? (I still see Pog as the favorite) - Who knows how much better Jonas can go this time at the TDF if he has an uninterrupted preparation? Also, that TDF battle can affect how much fatigued Pog will be ahead of the Vuelta (which is also unconfirmed at this time)

[@rulifaller8474]

@@monsiogabar525At the very least it is not a very sophisticated prediction: Pogi will win everything, after winning everything except MSR last year. It would be more interesting if you could predict which races he will nothing.

[@Blog4Justice]

​@@monsiogabar525 Of course, it's a big ask, but he has never been better placed to achieve it. - After Strade Bianche, he has thirteen days in which to prepare for MSR, and the team will be laser-focused on that objective. Pogacar has placed 5th, 4th and 3rd respectively in the last three editions, so he's an established contender. It's a tough nut to crack, but this is an itch he has to scratch and he'll be bringing his A++ game. - I'd like to see MVDP break the record for wins at the Ronde, but that will have to wait until 2026 (when Pog will probably be otherwise occupied). - Jonas will be in better shape for the Tour, no doubt, but I still think Pogacar will win convincingly (taking at least four stages) - Before the course was announced, I wasn't sure whether Pog would attempt the Vuelta, but the hilly/mountainous parcours across northern Spain offers an abundance of opportunities and is climatically favourable; it should be just be a matter of by what margin he wins, and how many stages he chooses to take in the process (six or more, quite possibly), bearing in mind that he will need to keep enough in the tank for the WC in Kigali on 28.09. The team has hinted that he will ride the Vuelta, but confirmation should come mid-January. With the inclusion of the Vuelta, Pogacar's 2025 schedule so far adds up to 67 days of racing (nine more than in 2024), making thirty wins a distinct possibility: 17.02 UAE Tour (7 stages) -23.02 08.03 Strade Bianche 22.03 Milano-Sanremo 28.03 E3 Saxo Classic 30.03 Gent-Wevelgem 06.04 Ronde van Vlaanderen 20.04 Amstel Gold Race 23.04 La Flèche Wallonne 27.04 Liège-Bastogne-Liège 08.06 Critérium du Dauphiné (8 stages) -15.06 05.07 Tour de France -27.07 23.08 Vuelta a España **TBC** -14.09 28.09 UCI Road World Championship [04.10 Giro dell'Emilia] ?? [07.10 Tre Valli Varesine] ?? 11.10 Il Lombardia Pogacari finished 2024 in 17th place in the ProCyclingStats all-time rankings; by the end of 2025, if all goes according to expectations, he should have bumped Jacques Anquetil off 7th spot. Happy New Year! P.S. World Championships in Montreal in 2026 and Haute-Savoie in 2027 suggest an opportunity for four consecutive titles...

[@chiefsittingstill6061]

It's hard to separate hopes from predictions. My hope is that the racing in 2025 is more like 2020-2023 than 2024. The first few years of this decade were the most engaging I've ever seen (having followed pro racing with varying levels of attention since 1990). But last year it was much more predictable and far less exciting (thanks to you-know-who dominating).

[@garyg9311]

Honestly you are looking healthy Dan. Quite literally keep up your fitness!

At 3:23 Dan says MVDP has won 7 monuments. Isn’t it actually 6? San Remo, Flanders x3, Roubaix x2.

[@Chiller11]

I do hope Wout wins a couple races in 2025. He and Visma were snakebit in 2024. I think Jonas wins one grand tour, perhaps the Giro. I believe Tadej will defend his Tour de France victory and will once again finish in yellow.

Furthermore, Roglic wins the Giro just ahead of Ayuso & Yates, Pogi wins the Tour after a fierce, close battle with Vingegaard and doubles up with a Vuelta win, after which he will demolish everyone once more in the WC RR.

I wish Tadej wins Milan - San Remo only to see him gain few pounds and try winning Paris-Roubaix. He said that the only way he will race Paris Roubaix if he had won Milan San Remo.

The latter usually cultivated by a made up notion of limited ability of "true Brits" to acquire fluency in foreign languages, which is more like self fulfilling prophecy than reality. You only need to hear Bradley Wiggins effortlessly switch between less than posh English accent and fluent French.

TdF isn't on Max though :(

FDJ SUEZ clean sweep in WWT. SDW will be winless in one day races and GC for stage races

[@jonoharper4729]

Doubt it...Kopecky is getting stronger in GC and the femme classics, and Anna van der Breggen is coming back to replace vollering. Early testing shows van der Breggen has her old form back. SDW will still be winning, bank on that.

[@AlexWatson-t1f]

@ No Reusser. No Vollering. AvdB is past her prime and will probably be put out to pasture after one season. So I doubt SDW will be able to compete as it has.

[@Andy_ATB]

Are we going to see GMBN do similar for MTB racing, or have they given that up?

[@DunDun-e43]

Is it ever possible to win all 3 tours?

[@AlexWatson-t1f]

Yes. If you dope. Probably requires expert ‘advice’

[@peterfireflylund]

They have been won continuously before but never in a single year (it was across two calendar years).

[@tonyg3091]

@@DunDun-e43 Pog will do it in 2 years time at the peak of his physical abilities. Mark my words.

[@JanneRasanen2]

My hot takes for 2025? Not everyone manages to keep the rubber side down 😢

[@johnslow7841]

Roglic wins the TDF

[@muratguc5245]

Hot take: UAE won't win any of the grand tours in 2025. It is not a hope, just a prediction

[@Vertrock41]

Pogacar will win at least 3 monuments but no GT!
