can I get a mirrored image

With the arrival of another great and much anticipated stage race, we return to the exciting world of /WORLD TOUR WINE/ !!

We begin in the Rhone Valley. Today's third stage crosses the Rhone at the 166km mark, racing directly through the St. Joseph appellation of the northern Rhone wine region. We have actually visited the northern Rhone in Paris-Nice, enjoying a modest bottle of Condrieu. Today's bottle is the other grape of the northern Rhone - Syrah. Here, in a narrow, tiny strip of hillsides along the Rhone running south from Lyon, the Syrah grape reaches its greatest expression on the planet. This area grows wines of such depth, complexity, and sophistication that we may actually make up for the absolute horrors we endured drinking Aussie Shiraz in the Tour Down Under.

Today's wine is from another legend - Jean-Louis Chave. Jean-Louis is a SIXTEENTH-generation winemaker in the northern Rhone. His Hermitage rouge and blanc are widely considered the finest expressions of wine in the northern Rhone. The single glass of 2003 Chave Hermitage blanc that I enjoyed was one of the most singular wine memories of my life. If you want to learn more, watch https://youtube.com/watch?v=ISf3hSIjCQU starting at 27:00 mark.

JL Chave has a nice little negociant business where he buys grapes from other farmers and then does the vinification himself. This group of wines - JL Chave Selection - offers some of the Chave magic for very reasonable prices, surely within the reach of any Bert.

Jean-Louis Chave Selection Offerus Saint-Joseph 2022 ($35).

Initial pop and pour. Pours a deep, dark purple/ruby. The nose is sensational - violets, blackberry, herbs, blood, pepper-crusted brisket. The palate upon initial opening has a violence to its tannic attack that demands respect. I let the glass sit for 30-40 mins. As it opens, beautiful structure declares itself. Blackberry fruit and game, then lifted acidity and tannic grip, then a long, deep finish of smoked meat and olive tapenade.

>>149109109

Amazing bottle. I bought two others to cellar and this will definitely benefit from some time. By far the best quality/price ratio of the year so far. I thought about buying a bottle of full blown Chave Saint-Joseph (~$110) but wanted to highlight one of my favorite value wines for the Berts.

this is the address and phone number for a middle school in upstate NY

which holy fuck the google profile for this school just has a really creepy clown as the picture

Why must Nords suffer in Italy?

>>149103698
No? Memco won the first TT which had a similar profile to today. The second TT had a lot more climbing. Also it was the third week of a GT and Pogi had the home advantage since he lives in the area and knows the roads like the back of his hand, the part where he made the biggest time difference was actually the descent.

man saw some Aurum bikes yesterday and that shit looks really good. more of a classic style and less Chinese looking than the average frame out there
any wind data out there? might need to upgrade my old frame and this might be it if it's anything above average

>>149109109
There's absolutely no excuse for Saint-Joseph being more expensive than Crozes-Hermitage, or even a really good Côtes-du-Rhône, and yet it is. Saint-Joseph is a big-ass apellation but since a few years they're charging premium prices.

Just throwing this out there in case someone has good advice

Every year I go for a couple of weeks of cycling holiday in the Alps. I don't really do much structured training, I usually get in good enough shape just randomly doing a mix of rides. My ability to do long days in the saddle is OK, but I'm disappointed with my 1-hr FTP effort.

Most FTP improvement plans I can find on turbotrainer are about 12 weeks, what should/could I do in just 4 weeks by more structured training to maybe bump up my 1-hr climbing effort?

If it takes you longer than *checks calendar* 5 years to figure out wtf this symbol is then congrats, you're less retarded than I was.

*less than

>>149117042
Threshold intervals I guess.

>>149117042
ride more and ride harder innit. intervals if you want some structure. unless your completely untrained not going to see major improvements over 4 weeks.

>>149117042
just ride more lol

>A historic page in French cycling could be turning: after 27 years of sponsorship, AG2R is set to make way for L'Oréal in 2026, according to Le Télégramme. The cosmetics brand will join Decathlon as co-sponsor.

>>149117193
Since I started riding around with a powermeter, these were my ratings usually (either achieved through 20 minute test or by actually riding it for an hour)

2025: 245W
2024: 275W
2023: 280W
2022: 327W
2021: 305W
2020: 300W

2022 was the year when I had big goals and did lots of structured training. It paid great dividends, but I found all that training so boring I'd rather be slower but still just ride around outside doing whatever I want without worrying about it too much. But this year the test results are pretty grim and I'm not sure why, if it's just my slow degradation as a human or if for some reason I trained completely wrong and maybe I can still salvage it

>>149117374
Huge day for French cyclismo

I wondered when we'd see islamic symbols featured on him and his kit. That was surprisingly quick. What a pathetic mong.

>>149117977
IIRC some ex-pro cyclist did his PhD in business about the advertiser value of different sports with exposure vs cost as the main metric, and cycling was so cheap compared to any other that it was ridiculous.

AG2Rbros' ... It's so over.

>>149117900
They haven't really announced any of that, but I don't think they'll still be in it. They'll probably do a boring course in the greater bruges area with some cobbles but nothing extreme and call it an "unofficial sprinters world championship"

My bad, it's a shitty news anyway.

It's weird to feel bad for a business sponsorship but AG2R was less shitty than others as a non profitable mutualist based insurrance association.

Now it's Mulliez and Bettencourt families, two of the most despisable french tycoon empire.

Very little comes close to how horrific this feels and you know it's not physical which is worse. They need lots of meds. Neurotypicals don't realise how good they have it.

>>149118401
No can do buddy, no can do.

>>149118413
They had the chance but angloids are feckless cowardly people who follow their masters, whoever they are. Anglos are a problem, possibly THE problem. Norman ruling class probably doomed the world into 'anglo' rule, which is actual Norman-Judeo rule under the guise of the wee little angloid becasue they're the ones who were the foot soliders. Anglos are their best asset otherwise they too would be in the gutter.

>>149117020
Hmm I feel in France there's still a lot of cheaper Saint-Joseph where they see it as a bistro wine (un petit St Jo) but it tends to be the higher quality stuff that gets exported. And this is worth the price.

Crozes Hermitage I do not even buy due to appellation inflation. That being said, in comparison to southern Rhone (where vast majority of Cotes du Rhone is grown), northern Rhone remains tiny, only like 5 percent of total Rhone wines

>>149118434
It'll be the same in France soon. They're already using porn as an excuse to implement this on twitter

People are grasping at straws for any sign the Slovenian dopeur may get some competition this season. Fishboy looked good but Tadej still won that stage. Everyone is just hoping cycling wont be dominated by one man this decade, maybe including Tadej himself.

>>149118766
Little do you know that in two or tree years the next BIG TWO gonna be SEIXAS vs. OMRZEL with the latter humbling the hapless squeaker.
DOPACAR and VINGEGAARD will be old news hoping to Top 10

>>149118766
>maybe including Tadej himself.
He did say in the interview after that stage, that he has a contract until 2023. Almost apologetically. Perhaps he is tired of winning.

>>149118812
I would be very glad to see a 3-5 year dominance spell MAX. Seemed it was generally over in the 2010's and favourites didn't last that long. Hopefully less now because they're using uranium or some other schizo dope.

>>149117386
threshold plus a weekend 4h or 5h ride with a strong group
just doing threshold shit will make you hate cycling imo, you're not getting paid, have fun

>>149118600
And you will be happy

Paul Seixas of the French L'Oréal superteam will win the Tour de France 2031

Jonas had full team coverage that all attacked pogacar he followed everything and still gapped Jonas penultimate effort

windy out there
40km/h up a 4% hill without breaking a sweat
then busting a gut to do 30km/h on the flat into the wind. skin not aero enough

He's probably thanking grug every night for providing him some challenge. Kinda dooms all the other riders for MSR, RVV and PR but whatever

I think you will find good improvements over even just 4 weeks if you maintain your volume and add one day per week 4-6 x 3-4 mins 115-120% and something like 2-3 x 15-20 @ 85-95%.

>>149109109

Cyclists are addicted to chuting, they can't get enough

Jonas makes a statement today

>>149120135
How exactly does your comment address the lack of Arab memes on this board? Ive done like the last 10, im sick of being the only one to pick up the slack

This is the kind of time trial where you cannot win the tour de france, but you certainly can lose it

>>149120261
Is there unironically a sport where at the top level participants seriously injure themselves at this rate?

>>149120277
Any contact sport. Cyclists don't get injured that often

>>149120274
Kek cant help you mane, i dont even have Paint.exe. Just providing you with content maybe

>>149120274
Ask the french flags

>>149120275
yes well

>>149120288
but when they do it's broken bones. hamstring strain is not a serious injury

>>149120288
Which contact sport exactly? MMA?
Im not following that but with cycling the very top of the sport regularly misses parts or whole seasons due to injury and whole carreers are not seldom shaped by injury. Is that the same in contact sports?

>>149120319
Rugby for example

>>149120261
we slip and slide as we fall and chute
and we just can't seem to get enough of
bah bah bababababah

don't know where this retarded singing squeaker came from. posting it once and deleting it

>>149120277
fighting sports. duh

Martinez faster than Foss

>>149120277
>>149120319
American Football has an injury rate of 34.42 injuries per 1,000 exposures (plays). Pro cycling has an injury rate of 7.6 per 1,000 hours of competition. NFL players do not even play 100 hours per season.

Rugby would be another one, or maybe MotoGP? But pro cycling definitely has a higher rate of death since other organized contact sports are able to get a medical response much much faster.

>>149120319
combat sports just factor in that the athletes will get injured every fight, which is why they fight so few times a year. The sport revolves around the fact fighters get badly injured every fight

show my boy shackman

>>149120336
Could be. I dont know shit about rugby.
But if you look at cycling. But for example, if you believe the official story at least, Froomes whole carreer went from being the very best in the world to some low level shitter by an injury sustained training, which is not uncommon in cycling. That level of injury-determining-the sport is pretty unusual if you look at all major sports i think.

>>149120373
Yeah but you have to look at the type of injury i guess. How often do those injuries result in a season end or even carreer end.

Foß, éh?

It would be like Mike Tyson breaking his arms in his prime in such a way his carreer is basically over

>>149120378
Not at all. So many footballers and such have to sit out whole seasons or stop their carriers all together due to knee injuries and other joint/ligament injuries. Cycling is just a sport where you can still do something even with bad injuries.

>>149120378
it's pretty unusual in cycling too

>>149120414
it's more unusual not to have a serious injury in your career as a cyclist

>>149120423

>>149120388
Season ending? All the time. Last season there were 38 individual ACL tears in the NFL, not MCL, not achilles, just ACL. Out of about 1700 active players that is a high rate. There are about 1400 people who are active at the UCI World, Pro, and Conti teams, so that number is pretty similar between the two sports. Its hard to get data on every single season ending injury, but anecdotally, achilles and MCL tears happen at a very similar rate to ACL tears, plus all of the broken legs, back issues, etc. I'd say the NFL results in more injuries, and season-ending injuries, but cycling has many more dramatic injuries.

There are some NFL teams who finish the season with like 5 of 22 original starters still taking the field. Imagine if Visma had so many injuries that all you got was Jorgenson and Van Baarle finishing the season and everyone else was injured.

Also there is the concussion factor, where even if you play a full NFL career, one day your brain will just be red lentil soup sloshing around in your skull and your quality of life would be garbage.

Phwoar young Seixas rapid

This might actually be the next generation of french riders who will get some results. Lenny, Sexarse and all the other youth. FDJ youth looking strong, AG2R youth looking really fucking strong too.

it's wild how much better you can get the moment you leave your french team

I've heard that before.

>>149120506
pro-level in-competition? effectively zero in modern times. Include college level? ~1-2 across all divisions, but this is such a large amount of players that it's a moot point. Counting CTE induced murder-suicides? at least 3 extra a year

Thats the CTE Bert.

big jorg showing these frauds how it's done

>>149120506
Very rare for an NFL player to die during a game, the last time it happened was 1971. A player named Hamlin nearly died a couple of seasons ago, but survived and is still in the league. Both of those instances were due to individual health complications (heart attack, arrhythmia, etc) and not due to a specific injury in a play. American Football just doesn't have the speed required to really kill someone outright. Most NFL player deaths are from their own personal nonsense off the field.

I think stuff like Furrer's death last year is way more scary than stuff in the NFL. Lost off the side of the road, begging for someone to find you and coming to grips with your death like that is horrifying.

>>149120550
He did. But he was always destined to be a 2nd-3rd tier favourite even at his best.

With cycling post career retards are mostly wife beaters and dope-fried-brain retards like Laceoid, still lucid though

>>149120541
Being second and third from the TDF is weak?

Because its a sponsor helmet from a danish hardware store.

Maybe Evenepoel can realistically win this

>>149120927
He was riding in the small chain on the flat on the last 2km

Vingegaard being at this leevel at the Dauphine means he will completely floor Pogacar and Evenepoel at the Tour. You know this perfectly well, so you may as well start coping know.

False. Vingegaard has always been on a very good level in Dauphiné. June Pogacar has never been good

>>149121410
Amstel I can understand. But UAE/Strade/RvV? He won all of them in dominant fashion, what sign of weakness was there?

It was always clear that Vingegaard was going to be stronger at the tour but I was unsure about the Dauphine. He is riding a lot better than I expected and I think it'll be a 4-5 minute win at the tour.

>>149121663
Absolutely. I would always tell a learner to speak English like he does.

>>149121665
>when can we get some actual decent bikes

>>149123284
This may actually be true. I was thinking about the Liege performance. Evenpoel basically dragged him back alone. Skjelly did a bit of work, sure whatever. But he dragged him back and looked strong as fuck.

Does that translate to 3 weeks worth of mountains and hills? No. But I think he's far closer this year than last and those early hilly stages in this years tour will just be fucking INSANE because there is so much to gain. Pogacar shown his pure dominance on those longer climbs last year (though it wasn't a ripened Vingegaar), so I think they're going to try and exploit him on the hills, particularly Jumbo. Gaining considerable time with Jorgensen will force UAE to work. I think they'll be raced very hard by Jumbo. UAE looks weak, Pogacar can gain it all back in the mountains but that's a high risk strategy so they will have to work.

This will be the best tour de france of the 21st century.

Pogacar has not improved his TT, he is not aero, the head wind has exposed him.

He will lose the Tour if on the ITTs there is headwind

>>149123573
I do yeah what are you after from a camera?

>>149123573
I have this for the front, very good quality camera and sound is good too

>dji osmo action 4

Cost about 200 quid something like that, my dad got it for me for my birthday after a ride where a cunt driver tried to hit us then chased us down the road threatening to run us over lol. This is a good cam, on 1080p it does about 2.5hr. Get a nice big SD card, you only need to delete every few weeks. The mount is actually brilliant, I'll ask my dad which he bought. It uses clips + magnets which sounds sketchy but it's super secure. We chose this because gopro is overpriced and a few technical specs indicated this was superior. The app is great, really fast to upload and you can edit and export through the app for quick uploads. No issues with it, charges fast too and the battery is consistent.

>AKASO Brave 7

This is my rear. Cheaper, batteries are about 2hr but they are easy to change out. Waterproof too iirc and you can get cages to mount it for cheap. It's a reliable and cheap camera with wide view. Looks great, not as sharp but it is cheaper than dji and I found it a good solid rear camera.

>>149123849
Something for the front and back that can be used to catch drivers who drive dangerously. (There's basically no policing.) It'd ideally not be too bulky or hideous. I've a K-Edge mount out front that has a GoPro mount underneath, but I'm open to options

>>149123996
>>149123573
The big thing with camera IMO is that they're visable. So either get a head camera or an action camera but for the rear especially, get a big case for it so it's even bigger and just above/below a flashing daytime light. This brings attention to it. I can say with 100% certainty that drivers are more cautious now I ride with a camera on the rear, they give me more space and are less aggressive. There is a personal risk to overtaking for them. It is the same concept with how speed cameras are bright in the UK to stop you in the first place.

That is why I didn't want an integrated my dad recommended, because I thought if it was obvious they'd respond and I was right.

It will make riding way safer. You'll still have subhuman chav cunts or forruns who are completely unaware but it definitely makes a difference in my opinion. God speed lad I hope you remain safe. It's a fucking warzone out there right now.

Part of the point of camera is a) to prosecute and change drivers mentality and the driving culture in the UK. b) in the case of dangerous driving or an incident, to prosecute and show you're not at fault for various reasons. c) in the case of severe injury or death, accountability to give a sense of closure to you or your loved ones which is fucked up but that's a reason. d) overlooked imo but it is to stop it in the first place, hence why I recommend a boxy action camera.

>>149122796
I own multiple, very good for the warm seasons

>>149123997
>It'd ideally not be too bulky or hideous
Assuming you read my other posts I do not recommend this, safety is more important. I've spoken to other cyclists and convinced them. We need to collectively change culture and if they can see a camera they WILL act differently.

>I've a K-Edge mount out front that has a GoPro mount underneath

These are cool. I have a k-edge mount specifically for the camera. It will be the same mounting mechanism for the DJI so all I can say is have a compare between DJI Osmo and the gopro to see which you prefer. Either or, it's minimal.

Another thing to consider is getting something you can use outside of cycling. So a good action camera can be used everywhere obviously and that is what I considered. My DJI I've taken on holiday and had a blast with on it's own whilst it also helped me feel safer on the roads. This is why I didn't want a specifically integrated cycling one as well as the fact it's more obvious. Get something you'll use elsewhere because the fact nasty horrible subhuman CUNTS are forcing you into buying a lot of gear is terrible. But you'd be surprised how much you'll use a decent camera, so that's why I'd recommend a decent one like the DJI or GoPro.

Saddle mounts like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/HOUSON-aluminum-bicycle-computer-cameras/dp/B0F7X697GS?crid=3QUL3Q7QYN850&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Ksf-k1PviySEgTER8VOvSFF0Ez2VUSS32jbhn_YDWm4xHAjeFTezuqiQaDH8AxwXyZYJZHhuRrJmRsqNNfVv4wjDxe_LfnLzPKrZeiuHWFfm_LHl9t5j05fmIcfiJdrC9EHjPUNfYuPrLkIyin5P9SJ882w9-wSM8EE8kO5XaEozx5Eu-X9t_b60GevW4GSjNTZ3TYTKXHoKeKLASDH4do6H0mvK7bXv3Vwlul_uezs.OztUHqBE6USVXZ-yhu_iQy2HVqnbaGiYSnhll4uwDIk&dib_tag=se&keywords=camera+mount+for+saddle&qid=1749668629&sprefix=camera+mount+for+saddle%2Caps%2C137&sr=8-5 are great. That is what I have.

>>149123996
>>149124013
Thanks—the DJI in particular looks great. & bulkiness on the rear side in particular is a good idea

Also if you're a bert and do not have cameras on your bike whilst living in an area prone to dangerous driving toward cyclists, get a camera.

>>149124093
Have some day time flashing lights front and rear, don't wear black, turn around to look at drivers if you're able to. These things made a difference for me as well as cameras. If you look at people before they pass all of a sudden you're a human, not just a cyclist.

My area is a big issue but I made some changes and it was really effective. God speed, fuck cagies.

Also japan mentioned https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cE7-jDEKtE4

watched the highlights on the telly there. Remco gives the best interviews. speaks well and answers the questions. no dodging or giving fake answers.

They're great cameras, with the waterproof cage the akaso it's big and obvious. The DJI is such a treat. On some of the holidays I went on I'd walk the hill/mountain with it. Lovely smooth footage that's 4k in the wilderness. I love the camera. Felt guilty when my dad bought it but we used it a lot.

Not a good day today, with Pogacar clearly sandbagging. In the interview after the first stage joked about retirement. Maybe he lost that spark, that will required to win against thus generation's Armstrong and golden hatted gnome.

>>149125288
If Jonas had won the last two then I would dread another win. But now I don't care who wins I just want a good race and not a Pogiwinslol
ideally Remco wins but yes well er.. unlikely

>>149124683
no
he is giga retarded
he literally called French police and whined to them about Froome on Ventoux
Froome did 5.8 w/kg on Ventoux
But when asked about Pogicar, he said he is amazing and totally clean, even though he rides at 7 w/kg

Lemond also said he still has a 94 l/kg VO2
and he also said he did some gran fondo after not haven ridden in 20 years and he weighs like 230 lbs and said he had a 7 w/kg FTP STILL

he said its impossible to ride at over 90 rpm cadence, and that if you do, you are using a motor

he is beyond retarded
he also gets drunk at various cycling functions a lot and people say he acts weird at them

>>149125324

>>149121410

>>149125616
>If he kwabs in the Tour im starting to suspect a fixed match.
I really agree with this, begrudgingly so. It is totally correct.
Only counterpoint is Jonas was ultra mega doped coming into this in literally perfect form. I hate to think it but I do. >this year, that's an understatement. Last year was a diabolical show, utterly shameless. Actually disgusting.

Vingegaard hasnt shown shit since the Tour last year until this Dauphine (2 stages so far). I really hope he is in excellent form and the signs are there but even if he is he'll need all the Vismoid tactics he can get.

>>149125682
he seems like he has borderline personality disorder and would lie about not doping because he became washed and then actually sort of believe his own lies

>>149125830
>>149125788
That is very much the Jumbo way, similar to Sky in some sense, but not entirely. They seem even more hyperfocused on the tour and rightfully so. I cannot wait for it. I think it will be close, or a 5 minute Jonas victory. Eitehr way, it'll be a fucking blast.

>Mâcon has been the destination city for a major cycling race four times earlier this millennium. It was most recently in this race in 2017, when a young Phil Bauhaus made his breakthrough by winning a mass sprint ahead of Arnaud Demare and Bryan Coquard. The race was also over in 2011, when John Degenkolb won a mass sprint ahead of Edvald Boasson Hagen and Juan José Haedo. The Tour came to an end in 2006, when Matteo Tosatto took a breakaway victory ahead of Cristian Moreni and Ronny Scholz, and in 2002 the city hosted the Tour's final time trial, which turned into a show of power from Lance Armstrong, who triumphed supremely ahead of Raimondas Rumsas, who is now noted for the victory, and Laszlo Bodrogi.

We're so fucking back

I remember when Ineos was good, and they were actually called "Team Sky"

>>149136249
It's a lot easier to be a good team when you have the british government throwing money at you to bolster chances of gold in the home olympics so you have a distinct technological and scientific advantage over everyone else.
It's much harder when your new main sponsor is run by a guy who is a billionaire, but somehow thinks good financial sense is taking away handicapped parking.

What is you guys HRV?
Mine is at best 62 in the morning, and often after a bad night 50.

vaxx status?

I fucked my back up yesterday in the gym. I literally cannot walk the stairs without being in excruciating pain. It is horrific. I think it's just muscular pain because I can twist and bend with no plain if I support myself with my arms. But this is the most violent pain I've felt ever. Screaming in pain. If I lie still there is generally no pain at all so I don't think it's disc. Got really luck here.

ACKerman lol

>>149136439
>excruciating pain
>It is horrific
>most violent pain I've felt ever
>Screaming in pain
>Got really luck here
aye hit the fucking jackpot

>>149136416
Unvaxxed. Did take the official government test nasal swap though and develloped Bechterew afterwards even though nobody in my family has that so maybe thats how they fucked me. Im still quite atlethic though.

>>149136461
He's in the UK so must already be a masochist to survive.

The whole 'package' drama that basically destroyed British cycling was grim. Our mp's calling for inquests and such. Very overblown. The true British mentality of tearing their own down. It was never about doping for them, or anyone. It was to destroy a successful legacy. Gloids are disgusting people.

Hello yes Mr Cort, you can go into the break any day now

>>149136461
If it was a disc I'd be in permanent pain apparently and obviously that'd have really fucked me up long term. I think this will be a few weeks of pain and slow rehab. Currently in the bath where I think I'll be for the next week to soothe pain and release pressure.

Rusbert has been missing for DAYS again leaving his WEBMs obligation unfulfilled
Is he visiting his relatives in petropavlovskkamchatsky again?

>>149136523
Yeah they suck, whenever I get back into cycling the first couple of weeks I fatigue my intercostal and diaphragm. So I have a lot of trouble breathing properly and take shallow breaths. The core and lower back muscles are hellish I find. They weaken very fast and exercising them is extremely boring.

>>149136702
he is too old for military service anyways, no? ...no?

vismoid soigneur dropped all 4 bidons kek

>yellow jersey looks the same as Visma jersey
what a joke

According to sporza Louis Vervaeke has a broken collarbone, with Landa and Vervaeke both out for the tour that doesn't seem good for the current dauphine leader

>>149136994
ethan hayter is an incredibly good medium mountain domestique. in my pcm 2022 save

If I was billionaire rich I'd have a cycling team with 4 top contenders and one team mate each to race the tour. Tinkoff should have done this. Imagine remco, pogacar, vingegaard and roglic all battling it out with a team mate each. Race would be chaotic.

>>149137028
Played 25? Optimised like shite. Truly the worst I've played to date. New engine looks absolutely shit.

Big Marlen wins

>>149136827
29!

>>149137060
no. i have 24 but i prefer 22.

Why is unoshit helping Lidl

Benjamin Thomas always makes close breakaways

I've seen Thomas win these

Fuck Ineos
Fuck Uno-Xshit
Fuck anyone who helps Lidl here

Activate the motopacing!

Chute remco noooo

Jonafraud Mifraud

milan weak and slow

Slava Israel!

Milan weak

kwab

>Milan

Milan's sprint becomes bad if the stage is a bit too hard

That bicycle is illegol

>>149137350
It's why I think he isn't a serious candidate for the green in Tour. He'll win a stage or two, but he'll also get exposed in more than a few stages.

>win in Dauphiné
>strike Iran soon
Israel bros we can't stop winning

All I'll say is in a top 3 of Jake Stewart, Axel Laurence and Soren Waerenskjold tells me that De Lie would have won today if he was in this race

MW(ould've)W btw

>>149137380
i think so too, milan will get kwabbed in tdf

>>149137396
would have been second behind Mads

Every social ride kwab will want that Factor now

>>149137396
A moral win, one might say.

was the dauphine always this lame? need a GC day before the mountains. fuck the sprinters

>>149137428
don't think I've ever seen a Factor out in the wild. Even Froomedawg couldn't sell them.

>>149137380
We've seen better from him before though:
https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/vuelta-a-la-comunidad-valenciana/2025/stage-4
Maybe he's not in peak shape yet or maybe he struggles with the heat. Doesn't seem impossible for him to be stronger at the Tour.

forgot to check final km lol fuck this shit

>>149137440
Yes. It being boring and predictable is what makes it perfect as prep for the Tour.

I really don't remember it not being lame. Don't you remember Jonas slurping for Primoz 3 years ago. At least this year there is real competition for the GC.

The reality is that one-week racing peaks with PN and is always downhill from that.

If UAE don't pace tomorrow then Pogacar doesn't feel good

>>149137466

Back has randomly made a 50% recovery after. Nap. From excruciating pain, worse than getting my tooth drilled with no pain meds, to quite sore.

Maybe the jersey cow milk and eggs bagel I ate fixed it.

I find that true for Parisians. In Lyon and surrounds, people seemed friendlier. I do speak a bit of bad French and I always tried to speak French and everyone was very friendly in general.

Probably two, if you include my mom

>>149138964
