My Take
Romain Bardet is a cyclist I genuinely admire, the kind of climber who makes Grand Tours worth watching. At 184 cm he's tall for a mountain specialist, yet his climbing and descending made him a fixture among general classification contenders for years. What I find compelling is the second act: after retiring from the road following the 2025 Criterium du Dauphine, he pivoted to professional gravel racing rather than fading away. That hunger to keep competing on new terrain says a lot. The data wrongly tags him American, but he's French to the core, even decorated with the Order of Academic Palms in 2019.
