Even Pog never did that.

Bertacekbros... We are being thrown OUT with the other shitters

>>149332083
if Remco is going to Ineos, around who will they construct their team going forward?

>>149332119
Steff CRAS of course

>>149332001

decathlon can turn average riders into good riders so why don't they turn a good (french) rider into a great one?

>>149332281
>good (french) rider
who you got in mind?

>>149332281
Lafay, next year. Trust the plan

>>149332281
I don't think there are any current good french riders, maybe alaphilipe. Bardet, Pinot, Demare, Alaphilipe all at decathlon 7-8 years ago, now that's a different story.

WW3 is a dead meme

What you berts smoking
Going to Visma for Kevin is great
France might actually get their WT stage race win then

>>149332119
rebuild the team to make it a classics team again. Magnier is a good start, they should hire some young promising puncheur with the money they don't have to spend on memco anymore.

>>149332119
It's time to retire the Remco to ineos rumours already

>>149332474
best signing since Big John Milan

>>149332474
Already been discussed that unless a french rider wins at a french team it does not count.

Do both Kirby and Kelly have brain damage, performance anxiety, or what's up with them? How is it so hard for them to speak even one sentence with any fluidity. It doesn't help that Kirby has a severe lack of intelligence and an annoying personality.

It's correct, it's only been crashes dropping him since then.

Day 7 of this race.
Betiol will do something any day now.

>>149334213

Almeida best rider in the peloton in terms of judging his effort. Absolutely brilliant to watch. This race he's looked a bit shit but that isn't the case, he just can't win in a disgusting manner like OTHERS can.

He is really becoming one of my favorite riders to watch race.

TOUR DE SUISSE
stage 7

top 10

>>149335399
GC

It will be a race of attrition between Pogacar and MVDP for the for the future regarding the first 3 monuments. Both have been improving every year year to year in all 3 races and I hope Pogacar keeps doing all the and then Tour-Vuelta double. For me, this year all 3 races had the best performances ever, by the winners each race, and Pogacar became Flanders BOAT and MVDP Roubaix BOAT.

The strategy will remain the same, Pogacar with the biggest fuel tank of all time will try to cook MVDP starting from Cipressa, 2nd Kwaremont and Arenberg and MVDP will try to stay at his wheel and beat him in a sprint. I'd like to see UAE use one rider to absolutely send Berta also, that could be the difference.

lmao the riders in the pool in their kit. so euro, i love it

>>149335799
All the shitter teams are gonna form a coalition and make 30+ man breakaways

>>149335799
For me this is the least tiring aspect of Pogacar. MvdP needs and adversary and so does Pog. Its great racing that they can "meet in the middle" in the shared arena, while also dominating other races separately. I'm sure many would disagree, but I would be fine with Pog preventing Mathieu from winning Flanders for years as long as Mathieu prevents Pog from winning Roubaix. This would be a rivalry worthy of the golden age that is so revered by cycling fans. As for total monuments it is somewhat disappointing that Pog will have an easier time racking up numbers unless he never rides LBL and GdL again. But Mathieu has the advantage in MSR to make up for this.

If Almeida wins GC tomorrow it'll be the second time this year that he takes the yellow jersey from a Frenchman on the last TT

>Over the past couple of weeks we’ve been hit by massive DDoS attacks. While working on sorting it we are taking FirstCycling offline temporarily.

well shit

>>149335965
Exactly, Pogacar since 2024 is clearly the best rider of all time, so it takes GOAT-level classics rider in MVDP even improving at age 30 to resist him in these races, and it's incredible to watch. The thing is that Pogacar is almost 4 years younger than him, so one would imagine the scales tipping towards his favour in future years.

Tour de Suisse has been one of the great stage races of the year so far, with GC action going down to the WIRE! And to celebrate, we have another interesting bottle to discuss on /WORLD TOUR WINE/ !!

Today's wine is from Vetroz, a little town in Valais not far from Sion. To be honest, stage 2 was the closest but it's very difficult to source Swiss wines from anywhere but Vaud and Valais in the United States. This is a Dole, which is a red blend composed of Pinot Noir, Gamay, and a funny little Swiss grape called Diolinoir. It is a cross between Pinot Noir and Rouge de Diolly, an obscure French grape. Developed in the 1970s, it is popular in Switzerland due to its early-ripening properties, adding dark color and structure to Alpine wines.

Cave les Ruinettes Serge Roh Dole de Vetroz 2021 ($30)

Now, being a blend of my two favorite red grapes (Pinot Noir and Gamay), Dole reminds me of Passe-Tout-Grains - a red blend found in Burgundy which I really enjoy for its freshness and lively fruit. If you ever see Passe-Tout-Grains on shelves, try it; it's reasonably priced even from great producers.

This pours a dark red/purple. The depth of color I attribute to the Diolinoir, as Alpine Pinot Noir tend to be quite light in general. The nose has soft earth and forest, iron, not much fruit. There is no detectable oak. The palate is all earth, with light strawberry, and mouth-watering acidity. The finish is short and muted. Really no fruit character, but it also doesn't have the herbal/floral notes I enjoy in Alpine Pinot Noir which tends to be lean.

Really disappointing. It's not unpleasant, but just an uninspired example of Pinot and Gamay. Once again (this is the running theme in Switzerland), this should be a $10-12 bottle, not a $30 bottle. I'll see if this opens up at all with some air.

Are you chilling your red wine?

>>149316967
It's actually cooler this year where I live, and yes this is "cooler" than normal. Last year it was almost 110+ heat index every day.

I still ride early in the morning to avoid the afternoon heat.

>>149335987
ofc I'm rooting for /elite/ but I have to say vauquelin is a fucking warrior, nothing is lost or won
very decent racing imo in this tos

>>149337092
Vauquelin is a good rider. It would be a shame if he goes to visma but such is life

>>149336678
My wine fridge is 10 or 13 degrees depending on zone. This came out of 10 degree zone. I pour it and let it open/warm up in the glass. I don't really drink it until the temperature is correct.

Aside from /WTW/, I basically only drink Pinot Noir, Gamay, and Chardonnay which are all best with some chill on them. As a general rule of thumb, people drink red wine too warm and white wine too cold.

>One hundred and twelfth at 26'52” from the winner of the day, Pavel Novak . The entire team stops to wait for him, to motivate him, to escort him, after the fall that suddenly, 32 kilometers from the finish line in Prato Nevoso, eliminated him from the fight for the general classification. At the finish line, Jarno Widar can't stop crying . Around him, the staff of the Lotto development team don't know how to behave, what to say, where to look. Fifty-year-old Belgians, with graying beards and the faces of those who have lived a lot, are stunned. There is a disturbing silence . At a certain point, Widar gets up and almost like a sleepwalker walks away towards a field of weeds. He drags himself for twenty or thirty meters, staggers due to the injuries he has sustained, then lets himself fall to the ground and begins to cry again.

>>149337368
Sounds like a situation in which the presence of a mature w*man would have been useful.

Almeida put a minute into Kev on the Onley stage. He stuck another minute into him in like 4km on that mountain stage he won. He has this TT in the bag unless big Kev puts on a real show. This should be an open and closed case.

People talking about a new documentary called “Doping Top Secret: In The Slipstream”
Any berts seen it? Supposed to be good and show how EPO doping is still very much used in cycling

>>149337497
I do enjoy the occasional green wine or Bordeaux or grenache or chenin blanc or whatever, but I just really like Oregon and Burgundy and there's more than enough variety and depth in those two areas for me to enjoy.

There are no secret picks for the tour.

Wine from Andalusia is dirt cheap but amazing

is it over?

>>149341254
almost certainly

Minimum handlebar width is actually 44cm when you take into account the way the hoods are designed to rotate in slightly even when you align them perfectly inline with non flared drops because Shimano, Sram and Campy hoods have a curve inward of 4cm.
They are banning anything wider than 28mm and anything larger than 52T and anything smaller than 11T.

UCI is literally retrogrouching.

Remco would finish on pure seethe alone. Widar didn't even break anything, just scratches and bruised pride

>>149356355
This has Mas written all over it

>>149356342
I really don't understand why he rode this again after winning it last year, it was always a lose-lose situation. Win it and people will say you stagnated or barely improved over the past year. Lose it and you're humiliated.

He set himself up for failure from the start.

>>149356638
there's no reason he shouldn't be on Lotto's senior team and riding WT races. the only possible explanations are that he's a coward or one of the people advising him is a coward and/or retard.

>>149356638
true. Remco would never

>>149356638
>>149356679
He wants to be MU WC and this year you can't participate to the RR if you're in a WT team. He could still avoid doing mickey mouse races

>>149356768
>He wants to be MU WC
why? U23 category at WC is a literal nonsense for jobbers to feel good about themselves.

Muh Grande Boucle fever at an all time low.
Its over.

Joao has to win today so the french narrative can continue. Might bet everything on him.

>3.75 return on 1 for vauquelin to win overall
10km TT, there is a chance. Might snap that up. Then again joao puts over a minute into him on shorter distances during this race already. So still leans in Joao's favour.

Should be a clear Joao victory.

another big win, kijker-bros
