Still thinking about Bardet up on the podium with his father, so soulful. Another proper racer reaching the end. I think during that time you were either a Pinot guy or a Bardet guy, never cared for Pinot but Bardet always captured something ineffable for me.

I've been laughing at our dogshit parade lmao, none of our boys know how to march worth a shit kek

>>149192107
And thats a good thing. Soldiers being good at marching means they wasted a lot of otherwise productive time training a useless skill. Well maching soldiers is a hallmark of third world paper tiger militaries.

Is this allowed?

>>149193931
11 Norwegians is like 6 normal people so it's fair enough

>>149193931
they got two TDF invites this year so yes actually

first I'm sorry rusbert, I didn't get a shot of avocado yesterday.
second, I already posted the whole set of photos on the other /cyc/ and will just post some highlights here.
so let's start with the bovine of Wallonia

proud to be a LIDL American

the most elite team I've ever seen in my life

nice lead out for balsamo yesterday kata blanka

well well well, look who's here

balsamo celebrating a bit too early

I took the pic of a cute dog, but Berts were irritated that old people ride full on aero bikes in Switzerland.

ik ben fan van stefan

attention payers should know this dog. I took more photos of the dog and the ladies team buses later.

>>149196317
Demi's perrito?

>>149196642
the one and only. demi actually lives just a couple km away from this stage finish.

>>149189547 (OP)
Kek, ppl like cycling

I don't even remember clicking anything but apparently I have a 50€ cupon from lecol and I really need new bibs
this screams rapha all over it, bit lame
this shit is assos tier pricing tho, is it worth it? or should I buy some assos and be done with it

>>149197245
>lecol
is it Wiggins' brand?

>>149197267
wiggins has a cycling equipment brand? I had no idea.

>>149197267
>>149197314
They were just a sponsor of his cycling team iirc

Pain in front region of hip is due to too high saddle no? i can feel it running down my outer thigh too.

never mind apparently I also have 15% coupon for assos kek

>>149197785
Could be anything. I would start strechting hip flexibility

>>149197833
i think its saddle height + cleat too far forward, stroke feels better now

>>149197245
don't bother thinking that coupon is worth anything, it requires at least a 150 euro spend and it isn't applicable to any of their "sale" items, and their products are all very overpriced for what feels like a rapha clone

>>149198045
Life of a pay pig.

Just as you stood out more than fifty years ago, Pogacar now dominates. Could there be a bit more competition?

>Merckx : “I think so. Who else did we see in the spring? Van der Poel. And Evenepoel when he’s healthy. In my time you had Godefroot, Roger, Freddy Maertens, Demeyer… And in the big tours Gimondi, Motta, Ocana, Fuente. Now it’s all a bit less in the tours. Except for Vingegaard. And even him. Vingegaard races so little. And in Paris-Nice at the beginning of the year he didn’t make a good impression on me.”

>De Vlaeminck : “It's certain that Vingegaard is a good stage racer, but he doesn't ride. What do they pay him for a whole year? And I won't talk about Pogacar, but what opposition does he have? Like they let him ride 90 kilometers in the Strade Bianche. And the only one who tried something is Pidcockske . Come on, boy. They wouldn't have dropped me so quickly there. On the sand, in the stones. I would have liked to ride that race. Or Pedersen. They are making a really good one of him now because he wins a few stages in the Giro d'Italia. But he can't win a time trial and he can't win a mountain stage. Then you're not a super rider to me. What has Pedersen already won?”

>Merckx : "Watch out. Gent-Wevelgem, three times. And if he doesn't crash at a bad moment this year, I still want to see it in Paris-Roubaix. And he was strong in the Giro."

>De Vlaeminck : “Strong? I won 22 stages in the Giro d’Italia and I finished fourth in the final classification. And I’m not going to talk about Eddy. How many times has he won the Giro? Five times? Pogacar will have to hurry. Eddy is better behaved than me. More careful. A different character than me. He can’t help it. Listen, I won’t say that Pedersen is a bad rider, but he’s not a good one either. And he’s certainly not super. That’s my honest opinion, and that’s the truth.”

>>149196241
Not even close
In complete control

>>149196259

eating some stale gingerbreadmen that I bought at xmas and forgot about. only 3 months out of date. breakfast of champions

>>149198128
Roger always seems to be "forgetting" that in his time there were like 80 runners from 5 countries in the peloton, and most of those were drunken hobos who slept under a bridge

>>149198128
>In my time you had Godefroot, Roger, Freddy Maertens, Demeyer… And in the big tours Gimondi, Motta, Ocana, Fuente.
If I were to check results lemme guess I would see Eddy destroying these lads worse than Pog destroys everyone.

>>149198128
>Eddy is better behaved than me. More careful. A different character than me. He can’t help it. Listen, I won’t say that Pedersen is a bad rider, but he’s not a good one either. And he’s certainly not super. That’s my honest opinion, and that’s the truth.

>>149196259
The dog is staring right at you.

>>149196685
Meaning Demi actually lives not far away from Bert? Based.

Is today's climb a vingegaard climb or a pogacar climb?

>>149199222
It's all Pogi, mate.

>>149199222
A bardet climb

why is he so happy

He likes cycling. He is our guy

I mean, wouldn't you be happy?

Demi and Big Marlen are joined at the hip in this race. always together

UCI legal position?

>>149199373
Not anymore. Demi looking dood.

That's her away

No runner has among his Palmares both a victory at the Ronde van Vlaanderen and a Itzulia Basque Country GC.
This is the only combination of two races among: Monuments, GTs, WC, Major Tours.

>>149199424
*which no one has won.

Marlen is on a roll recently

>>149198045
they are all overpriced because they know everyone is using the coupons. they give them away like candy on nothing strava challenges.

that being said all my bibs are from le col so they got me i guess

>>149198128
>Vingegaard races so little. And in Paris-Nice at the beginning of the year he didn’t make a good impression on me.
>And if he [Pedersen] doesn't crash at a bad moment this year
Kek, Eddy is very polite but somehow his subtle jabs really hit hard

Demi is NOT happy

>>149197245
>le col
Mediocre quality for high prices. Their business model is to have items perpetually on sale or always have promo codes available to appeal to consumers versus their anchor price.

I stay riding with assos, maap, and giordana for bibs

Is it a breakaway day? Really unsure. Part of me thinks yes but how UAE rode yesterday they're greeding. 1/1 odds on pooshit winning the stage. Might bet on it honestly. Seems decent chance they'll go again.

>>149199497
let's hope she can keep it up

>>149199745
There's no such thing as a break day when UAE and/or Visma are on a dick-measuring contest.

Even last year in the Tour, it took a very good Cararat performance, a very long leash and week 3 fatigue for the break to to beat the peloton in a mountain stage.

>>149199222
I don't think there is a binary destinction of "pogi-climbs" vs. "Jonas-climbs". Pogi climbs at extremely high speed compared to Jonas. We saw yesterday, that Pogi may not be able to keep up that speed for long periods. Perhaps, if Jonas can keep his pace over a longer period, he gas a chance, but he has to attack on one of the earlier climbs, or at the very bottom of the final climb with 17 km to go (which may not be enough). It all depends. Pogi may just be able to sit on Jonas' wheel at the lower pace that Jonas rides at. If that's the case the amount of "Jonas-climbs" in the world is very low. What's evident is that 1) Jonas has to be the attacker, and 2) Jonas needs to attack at a distance, where Pogi cannot pace away from him before breaking. Pogi said himself, that he slowed down yesterday because he didn't have to keep up his pace. It may be the truth or it may be a lie. If it's the truth, Jonas-climbs do not exist.

>>149199851
1/1 odds are good for pogacar here. I think I'll take it. I just thought maybe with visma knowing they have no chance they'll just pack it in and sit on, leaving only UAE to ride if they want the stage getting zero help from anyone. Sivakov didn't hold back whatsoever and they closed Bardet in the valley yesterday for another stage, that showed a lot of intent. Should be a pretty safe bet but I'd like to be able to watch the race from the start, Dauphine is no small race. The breaks matter too.

>>149199920
>It may be the truth or it may be a lie
Very clearly truth, it was a very similar stage to what we saw at the tour last year. Dude taking the piss out of his rivals showing how easy it is for him. Like when jonas was about to blow last year and he was eating and riding hands free, then seconds later just attacks after Jonas dies.

They shouldn't go all in for GC, get as many stages as possible. Jonas can just wheel suck pogacar and get an easy 2nd. They need to attack for stages instead or they'll just settle for a shitty 2nd place on GC.

This break lmao

PCS says Jonas is up the road LMAO

what is going on is jonas attacking from 130km out

PCS Bert might be making shit up again.

>>149200172
>>149200215
They removed him now. Probably just PCS fuckery once again.

>>149200230
Of course, and on purpose

Really hope this break doesn't make it or my bets are completely fucked

VDP really wants that green jersey.

>>149199851
This is my least favorite thing about the current era, so rare to get a good breakaway win with this worm blood teams.

>>149200255
A true W > W/KG enjoyer

Gay

>>149200407
agreed, wearing the jersey "on behalf" is the most homo shit, second only to going on an estrogen protocol

>>149200407
It's not gay as long as the wheels don't touch.

>>149200407
Little bit cringe ngl

Allez Romain, one last time

>>149200407
can’t they just make pogi stand in both position and photoshop it together

>>149200480
Don't worry, I'm sure some corporate ghoul is working on that. I've been watching the U.S. Open so am seeing some more commercials lately, it is absolutely disgusting to see a full AI animated commercial or a live action one "enhanced" with AI. Its just not right.

>>149199992
I'm not so sure. A lot of cyclists, and Pogi especially, use interviews to attack their opponents confidence. Remco does it as well, but he has mellowed put a bit. Jonas is the only rider who actively seems to lower his own confidence during interviews. I think that's cultural, and not a strategy - a lot of danish riders downplay their ability in interviews, Jonas is just an extreme case

>>149200407
They both look mildly annoyed

>>149200614
Kek they do

>>149200613
Not Mads but then again he isn't a lowly Jyde

Will Jonas attack all in?

>Another comical situation for skeptics that echoes the normally very wise advice "protect yourself from the wind in your wheels and the slipstream as much as possible to save yourself for the final.!" 22 km from the finish, the group of favorites is sticking their tongues out in single file, What does he do to troll the Slovenian? He lets himself be dropped, goes down to his car to get a bottle, whistling back up the line 10 km/h faster than everyone else, his mouth in the wind, and gives the bottle to his teammate. Ten km later, probably warmed up, he's going to attack and blow it all up. This borders on disdain, contempt for all the rules. Is no one going to see him and tell him? Is the peloton a mass of submissive people who like to be humiliated? Madiot (Marco), we can't hear you! Go see Gianetti, your ex-rider.
kek, no one squeaks like the frogs

>>149200779
Ridiculous

>>149200779
Humiliation ritual

I've been impressed with Foss this season, I have to say.

>>149200779
front wheel motor. so obvious. flaunting it in our face

>>149200852
Who??

>>149200988
So he is going from shit to shit? Very inspiring

why are there basically no asian pro cyclist that compete at the grand tour level?

>>149201034
because they are shit at cycling. just look at their local races. the top 10 is always filled with failed euro jobbers who are still good enough to beat the best asians

>I'm feeling good actually, it's just not coming out yet.
Does he say the same to Oumi?

Finnbert spoted

CAMON GRUG

Magnier wins

Philipsen has become so shit

News from Giro Next Gen?

pog should bridge up to grug

Grug has been very strange this race. His level of effort is something we have not seen in some time, reminiscent of Tirreno 2021

>>149201576
The Laredo Kid fires another shot.

>>149201712
he's literally doing intervals

What's the lowest Grug can finish to win the green if Pogi wins?

man the coming of ww3 will not be good for my cycling plans

>>149201712
well it's about time he did something in tdf so good that he is training for. I'd say he is going for yellow in week 1

>>149201831
5th if my math isn't wrong

Grug insanely strong today

what the hell is going on in switzerland. huge break full of GC guys with a big gap

>>149201965
I think there was a group of runners who rode away from the rest of the runners

>>149201076
still pulling

>>149201935
Training for his XC summer

This is where Pinot DNFed the Tour 2019

>>149201965
Vauquelin is gonna break the curse

Tough first day but he'll be back

>>149201935
hope he gets the rock today

>>149202129
This, but Grégoire

I think Grug's only hope is Pogacar letting Sivaque or someone else go for the stage.

Thinking about booking a hotel for the MARYLAND CYCLING CLASSIC

>>149196156
Definitely most shredded team you posted, especially in the legs. Look at Joao god damn.

>>149202171
For me, Gregoire stock is dropping, while Vauqelin continuously impresses.

Surely Vingegaard tries at least?

There's an "Extreme thunderstorm warning" in suisse but they just keep going

Grug finished his training

>>149202519
how? he's dead

>>149202546
With Jonas the race would have been stopped LONG ago

Now THATS my kind of pace

wout would have lasted longer

>>149202601
Moral victory etc etc

watch our resident Finnbert riding the Finnish Nationals today: https://www.is.fi/urheilu/art-2000011275491.html

Yeah, Pogacar wants to win another stage....99

Good number and in the Tour 100

Tadej almost fall asleep on this pace

>>149202632
if he wins the stage today the gc will be the 100th
that's why he'll probably let somebody else take the stage, uae wants the pr of winning 100 at the tour

opened a bottle of red

slurp
time for me ride

this is too easy

>>149202632
100 is GC here if he wins the stage as well.

van gils kwabbed himself there

Sepp Kuss lachee

Why not the 100th at the Tour where more media will cover it?

>>149202691
in these situations i ask myself, what would Merckx do?

lol

KWABASS

Noooo chute Seixas, his bike looks fucked

Need Seixas to rebound

mas really don't want to be alone even if it means not winning the stage
kys dawg

ATTAQUE DU EVENEPOEL

Pog barely breathing

Finally some microhappening

They are not bothered in the slightest kek

the inexperienced mas swindled by the wily old lenny

pog should just win, this bs about minmaxxing where his 100th win will be is just losers talk. Bigger number better. Simple as.

Pog in Z0.5

>>149202862
but what about the karma? when does karma apply or not?

Wtf Pogi is pacing for Jonas

Attaque du dopeur

Remco on the limit.

>>149202863
Not even 40 TSS for the day.

Kussen spotted

another masterplan by visma lab executed to perfection

Lenny Martinez looks like Jay Baruchel

Kuss has really fallen off a Horner-esque precipice after his Vuelta win. Yes they gifted it to him, but he used to at least be a great climber and domestique. Now he's barely even top 5 at Visma.

Jonas in Z2 and Tadej in Z1, this is just a training ride.

Pray for Lenny

>Lenny is putting time into Jonas and Pog
potential new member of the big 3

if pog can't win this the le tour might as well be over, weakmind

>>149202964
Pray that they catch him, that attack was ridiculous

if pogacar finishes in the top 3 today he'll take back the green jersey from van der poel

Allez Lenny

Jonas getting some intervals in or? He can't think he'll drop Pog

>>149202949
>Second in the Dauphine is a victory for us. This is exactly where we want to be going into the tour.

Mountains are fucking kino

Pogi look so fresh KEK

>>149202980
never mind, he's losing time quickly

Downed another træstamme

Incredible scenery.

Lenny vs the mutants. Man vs beast.

>>149203032
Not even a single bead of sweat

Flipowitz good recovery

Thought Lenny Martinez was a sudaca rider lol

BIG mistake if pog gifts this win to lennergy, the consequences will never be the same

he doesn't give a fuck

Jonas sisters we gained time on Pogacar today
This is a moral victory

With this victory Pogacar becomes the only runner who has in his career won the following combinations:
Dauphiné,Tirreno-Adriatico, Il Lombardia
Dauphiné, Tirreno-Adriatico, Ronde van Vlaanderen
Dauphiné,Tirreno-Adriatico, World Championship

He has now won a Monument and a Major Tour in a season, 5 times. Merckx, Hinault, Kelly each managed this feat 4 times, De Vlamenick 6.
He has now won 2 Monuments and a Major Tour in a season, 4 times. De Vlaeminck, Kelly, Merckx each managed to accomplish this twice.

Seasons where a runner won a Ronde van Vlaanderen and a Major Tour:
1933 Schepers Paris-Nice

VICTOIRE DES FRANCAIS

It's pogover

every second counts jonasbrothers

>>149203087
He might as well be

Seixas good all things considered

>sprinting for 2nd
very foretelling of fishboy

>>149203087
In his heart he is

Fishboy level is not enough at all.

The gap has become bigger and not closer compared to last year.

253rd World Tour stage race in a row without a French victory

.

There's the Allah I know

>>149203182

Why do I psyop myself every single time.

what a great day for french cycling

world tour wins by martinez (21) and gregoire (22)
2nd win in 2 days for magnier (21)
seixas (18) 8th in dauphine gc

>>149203634
Impossible to suffer as a French cycling fan

>>149203182
Well done Jonas !
Pog broken !

Legit more worried about Almeida catching a cold with this rain than the time he lost today. That man's immune system sucks.

>>149203626
?
he finished with elite

time to wait for de lie and his lotto friends to cross the finish line

>>149203182
pog mind is broken, the le tour is already over

I have a feel he actually watches the races in secret.

So the best possible team for Dauphine was Lipo-Grug-Vinge-Johannessen-Pogi-Wright-Barré-Tronchon-Ourselin (100 cost, 5234 points)?

fishbrain confirmed

how much karma did pogi lose today? I'm thinking 2 years worth.

>Tadej, one word about Paul Seixas, the young French guy, he's only 18?

>Pogacar: Oh yeah, he's an amazing kid, I think also really respectful in the group, I think drives nice the bike and I think he's a big machine and if there's not too much pressure from French media on him, then he'll be really great success

so what even happened in Switzerland? how was this allowed in a basically short sprint stage?

>>149210420
9% rampas and a suicide wish

>>149210502
but the peloton full of main GC favourites didn't even bother to close the gap a bit. strangest result I've seen in a while

>>149210530
Heavy rain and sketchy descents.
They were taking it safe.

>>149210707
ah I thought it might have been bad weather alright. still they should have at least closed the gap down to 2 min or so

>>149210530
desu they never showed the peleton, no idea what went on there. only when GREGOIRE won, the commentators mentioned /elite/ and then I remembered, they are all fucked

>>149211357
posting kingsqueaker is cheating. if they did 5 watts per kilo for twenty he would still be squeaking.

>>149211718
if you compare the 90s to today it literally is maximal gains. this boomer needs to admit they trained like amateurs back then and no amount of doping could make up for that. I'm sure there are Berts who train smarter and eat better than Lance ever did.

>>149211891
Thor Hushovd once told a story about his first meeting with the french "pros" when he started out there and why he was actually placing decently despite being from a country with, at the time, basically no cycling culture at all.
If the weather wasn't just right, that is there was a little rain or it was a bit cold, they just wouldn't train. They'd do a 30 minute ride to a cafe, relax, then do 30 min back home, while Thor would do his full 4-5 hour session.

>>149211891
>Berts who train smarter and eat better than Lance ever did
Speaking of: how did Finnbäärt do today

>>149212217

It's crazy indeed. I sometimes feel like my English is better than the average native English speaker. then/than, your/you're and many more of such cases, that somehow they struggle with more than me.

>>149214404
I've noticed lately that every types like shit (both in Angloid and Fr*nch), I suspect the full effect of spell-checkers (but not grammar checkers) are finally showing up, with people not able to follow basic grammar or conjugate not like complete retards.

Ironically, the LLM-bots filling the internet probably have a better spelling.

>>149216160
>I've noticed lately that every types like shit

>suspect the full effect of spell-checkers (but not grammar checkers) are finally showing up

effect IS showing

>with people not able to follow basic grammar or conjugate not like complete retards

unable instead of not able

>>149216160
This is such a funny post.

Also, for the record every English mistake I make is no mistake at all, I simply post in /cyc/-pidgin and am mixing a few German, Danish, Dutch, French, Italian and Spanish words and grammatical rules into my speech.

>>149216160
You can't always conflate laziness for incompetence, I'll often ignore a mistake simply because I do not care to correct myself. It's only in this current era where a basic spelling mistake will get you labeled as an esl/jeet/brownoid does it matter whether I accurately use there, their, or they're, or effect/affect

Quick rundown on cleaning bike in the shower? I am living in an apartment for the first time in my life and my poor bike is overdue for a clean. I used to do a full scrub once a week or every other week, and I really miss the squeaky clean ride.

I am switching to wax (Silca paypig) this week in part because it seems easier to keep clean. I am also considering replacing my shower head with a detachable wand model to get a better rinse angle.

Looking at Kevin and Romain's history, I'm afraid I don't believe in anything

Whateber became of young Roy Knickman? Its been said that his cycling talent is seen as exceptional

So when is /elite/ going to attack?

Can a rider like Dirk DEMOL, a Belgian whos neber won a major race in his life, influence the outcome?

>>149228256
He has no choice but to attack on Splügenpass on Wednesday if he wants to take back the 3 minutes on Vauquelin

Another Quick win

Gonna be amazing weather too

>>149228432
sprint finales aren't very exciting to watch at the finish line as they pass you with 60km/h. only advantage is that there's big screens installed to watch the race and you can walk around the finishers, team buses and watch the winners ceremony.

you need to attack quinnie

>>149228327
I dont like it either, but I can live with it. The last straw for me and the reason mommy-posting was on hiatus is because she got a neck tat that isnt in her latest photos. she either had it removed, or it was temporary, or shes posting old photos to bait me (bad mommy). But pre-op Yung Long Mommy was pure sexoooo, phwoaaarr

delusional boomers wouldn't even last in the peloton

It's not really just a name change, the race is not the same since ASO took it. It was barely going in the Dauphiné anymore

It's more of a devolution in that case

Bring back the Midi Libre

>>149228735
Please don't insult me, 30+ is still young

>>149229222
It's literally an administrative region of France...
The third richest one at that.

>>149229578
it doesn’t fit geographically and culturally it’s a forced merger it insists upon itself bring back the old departments naow

>>149229578
Can't wait for Paris-Roubaix to be renamed Hauts-de-France Tour presented by Van Rysel

>>149229624
A larger cause for concern is that Roubaix is now the fattest city in France, despite having a cycling monument. Bad look.

>>149229606
Departments are plastic too. The Dauphiné is a real province

>>149229632
P-R is the fatmen monument so it fits.

Pogacar is the final winner of both Amgen Tour of California and Critérium du Dauphiné.

Big Joe Almeida is still favourite to win it. 3 minutes behind. Pretty disrespectful to the other lads who are not casual jobbers.

>>149233351
gregoire and vauquelin have not proven they are long climbers. lemon isnt the one and o'connor is a shitter. seems reasonable

>>149233938

that just proves that tour de suisse is a grand tour

>>149233938

it's Almeida not the Slovenian. at least it should make the race more interesting

lol
lmao even

also that new colnago is absolutely horrible

>>149235409
>Pogacar is maybe an arrogant fuck
Suprised that there is still people who think that the humble guy act is real

Cort has 7 Norwegian bottle bitches this year

So how are we feeling about these profiles, lads?

>>149242837
needs even less sprint stages. overall very good profile. hopefully it will stay close in the first two weeks

>>149242837
I like the number of classics-style profiles. Hopefully almost all teams give up on GC and race aggressively for stages (instead of slurping for a prestigious 9th place)

>>149242837
5 mountain stages, all the in second part, all mountain finish, they will all end with the big names waiting for the final 5 km (unless Pogi decides he wants to humilate the competition)
It's always the same climbs, the same roads, the stages are a copy-paste from other editions, there's basically nothing new
Even if I'm not a fan of TTs having only 30 km of standard TT is not enough
Lack of long stages
I like the hilly stages in the first part

5/10, very low effort

>>149244430
At least last year we had a bit of Mercantour which is rare. I don't know why they always do the same climbs, I think it's mostly municipality paying to get the tour. Also never understood why we don't get more cevennes/Ardèche stages, they could be fun

>>149197245
Gobik is the best brand going by quality/price ratio. And they have some good designs also.

>>149244430
It's good that there is a lot of mountaintop finishes. Mountain stages with downhill finishes should not exist. Otherwise yes, it's pretty boring and most of the big climbs are there just because Pogi cracked there in previous years lol.

Can someone fill me in on the Jan Christen situation? Haven't been able to catch the stages yet

>>149244890
chuted at the start of stage 1. burned all matches yesterday by trying to sprint for 2 km.

>>149242837
It won't live up to the Giro. Then again it never does

>>149244985
First ten days will be very good, then pogiwinslol

>>149242837
Why even bother watching the first week
Also stage one of grand tours should be a TTT

>>149244915
Doesn't sound that bad. I knew Mikkel Bjerg was just being a little bitch like always.

>>149242837
With this race design I could see 11 days in yellow for wout van aert if things break his way. It's almost like they did it on purpose, or that wout paid Mr gouvenou

>>149245107
The plan was probably to go for Morgado and Christen just went on his own.
Just UAE things.

>>149245145
>Jan is a cyc poster
Not so surprising after all

>>149235409
the absolute bm by not sprinting for the finish v jonas in the final stage of the dauphine

>>149242837
The mountain stages are garbage

>>149245145
all evidence points to Grug going for yellow. hopefully he gets it and Wout is one second behind him

>>149235409
is this because he's winning too much? cycling must be the only sport where that's a thing

>>149246032
but it's not a thing. only a minority crying about it

he's back naming half the peloton again. couldn't even last a week the degenerate

Unbelievably ill recently got this green shite leaking out my arse. Bile apparently. Nothing in the body but I shit every 45 minutes, more like pissing out the arse. And I want to vomit constantly.

Might die lads pray for me

>>149246246
This is an sfw board you faggot.
Also go see a doctor, its usually preferred over dying in a miserable way

>>149246312

>>149244841
Wrong, a GT should have every type o stage

>>149246246
wtf green? thought bile was yellow like stomach acid
I got food poisoning recently from some fancy olives (I think) over the weekend, shit sucks dog. It's over

>>149246317
Posting your shit is not SFW, and it is disguting. On top of not being cycling related.

>>149246484
How many type of stages are there?

>>149246596
One, you start somewhere and ride somewhere else

>>149246515
I sent a picture to my mum because she's a nurse and she said it's bile, because my body is clearing out everything. Yesterday was a yellow liquid so that's really interesting as that might then be stomach acid as I've not eaten in 3 days.

Seems to have slowed so I assume I'm empty. The unused by products have been sent away and I probably have zero acid or bile. If I are a lot I'd probably vomit even if I was well. That's what happened when I too too much lansoprazole (PPI)

>>149244841
Retarded take

When will they realise this doesn't work anymore

>>149246888
When pogi wins by 10 minutes this year

>>149246888
what's the alternative? admit defeat and prep the Vuelta?
The only thing he can do is to get ready, glue to Poggis wheel and hope for the best in a tt and that your teammates don't fuck up too much

>>149246918
Attacks from far where he doesn't expect it. If Visma ride the stages like Beille last year then the result will be the same

WAAR OMRZEL

>>149246932
I feel like we used to have lot of U23 race watchers in /cyc/, I wonder what happened to them all I see no posts from the BabyGiro this year

>>149246927
ah yes good plan, UAE has a dog shit team to counter that
just face it, if Almeida is in form (big if) UAE has almost no weakness

>>149246932
he's in the group dummy

>>149246959
True sry, tiz stream glitches every 2 seconds

>>149246999
And now

The "golden kilometer" where within 1km you have 3 bonification sprints should be a fixture of any race because it's funny and kino

Jarno is really a gremlin

We live in a world where an Arkea rider might win a wt stage race.

Imagine sex ass in there

Just woke up, for how long has Quinn been in the breakaway and can he go all the way?

>>149247002
The moustache kinda suits him

Poor G ...

Oh shit Jarno won? Right on

>>149246888
I really doubt that he would be dumb enough to reveal Visma's actual tour strategy in an interview, so I don't think this should be taken too seriously

Quinn needs to attack immediately after this descent.

Horner shitting on remco lol

Anyone has that quote how anquetil almost passed out following poulidor? Like it was quite poetic about it, basically saying it was an unconscious/transcendental effort

>>149248416
Do you really want him to race Tour of Austria?

>>149248345
If I recall he was really fucked up by gino's death and that he said affected how he raced and his motivation to train. Which is a very sad story. I thought he'd be a huge name and I was thinking this morning that it's a shame he's not reached his heights.

But the looks of it, it's going to change. I remember his insane tour when he was in the break almost daily. That was magnificent.

skiing is very popular however there's not really a serious pro scene, many such cases. jorgenson and sheffield were also primarily/exclusively skiiers as juniors. obviously many such cases but with how uniquely dead US junior racing our best endurance athletes all do something other than junior road racing.
