Afetr 20 x doing the race, I like the bike course, however this was the first year, that the Bus Lane portion was oo dangerous..also some of the bumps on Lower Wacker Drive have gotten worse..

Bike course lacked signals so people knew where to ride or pass... specially because it changes along the race... Also the finisher's shirts is such a downgrade from last year's. very simple/ugly design. I though that Varlo was going to do a good job just like 2024
