Moments of regret seep through
A life left behind

Well...Here We Are
As you all know, this is Mongo's sixty fifth year as a highfalutin, award adjacent, cycling connoisseur. I've played this game since the days of down-tube shifters, misogyny, and amphetamines.
Where have you gone, Miguel Indurain?...The Keyser Soze of cycling.
My final prediction of Pogacar as World Champion sealed a solid season for Mongo and I should have just walked away then and enjoyed more time with my lady on the trails...if you know what I mean. Instead, I'm closing out 2024 with an unnecessary post.
Also, I tripled my posts from last year and I honestly am feeling like the 2025 season will be a big opportunity for me to show the world that 2024 was no fluke. Whispers behind the scenes are hinting at a push for twenty.
Let's all move forward into 2025 with champagne wishes and caviar dreams and see what we can find.

The Finishing: Prediction Sure To Go Wrong
First of all, let me say that I've always believed that an athlete should never lose their position due to injury. Therefore, Wout Van Asphalt will remain as Mongo's "Guy" going into the 2025 season.
You may be saying to yourself that with three wins in the Vuelta a Espana shouldn't his position be unquestioned? Well...no!
Let's keep it "a hunned"...There is better competition in an unsanctioned, Cat 4 alley cat scramble. The Vuelta is the Florida of Grand Tours. Has beens, wannabees, dopers, old guys, young guys, domestiques looking for their chance at glory...it has it all. If any Tour de France level winner shows up, no one else has a shot. Otherwise, it's like a Saturday night at Club Juana in Orlando...anything is possible.
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS: PREDICTION
"TADEJ POGACAR"

W.W.R.G.D ?..."I'm A Worm Y'all"
A lifetime of lifetimes but a child once again
Beginning a journey with no destination
Wisdom from our youth is the foundation of forever
Walk with me and let me grow old in your eyes

The Oracle Of Delphi...Car Stereos
So... Mongo has been on Summer hiatus.
I know Van der Poel won E3 Saxo, Flanders, and Paris -Roubaix along with the Cyclocross World Championship. (The Road WC is still to come)
I know Tadej Pogacar won the Giro and Tour de France in dominating fashion.
All of these results were predicted by Mongodamus long before any of the injuries and races happened...February 1st, 2024... "Here
Also...
After much speculation amongst the masses about his status, considering the mediocre results of the year thus far, Mongo has decided to put Wout Van Aert on double secret probation and re-evaluate after the Vuelta on his "My Guy" position moving forward.

I've Still Got It...The Juice Is Flowing
It is well known among cycling scholars that if one is anointed by Mongo as his "Guy", good things immediately start to happen. Nothing has changed in 2024.
Most people would be content with being Belgian, handsome, and having some of the best hair in the game, I know I would, but WVA also likes winning bike races.
After a third place podium finish at Fruitloop Net Hasselblad, the one man boy band comes back strong the next day and wins Karen-Brassieres-Karen.
As significant as these results are, the legit Spring Classics are right around the corner and it's about to get real.
Mongo is ready...I'm talking to you, Van der Poel!
