experience what it's like to be a horror of the race

>>149610217
team presentation should be done like this
less breakdancing more naked cyclists

>>149610217
achievable natty?

what awaits us in these three weeks

made a last minute radical adjustments. I'm ready to crash and burn

>>149610283
Stage 12, 13, 14 will probably decide the Tour. And no GC action before that (unless you count the TT).

dial is too busy and the bike looks stupid
should have done a tdf edition of the prx

Heatwaves are not allowed near the Tour

whats the site of the french tv broadcast again

>>149610217
>the virgins doped frauds at 5% body fatt
>the Chad CLEAN watt monster at a healthy weight

>>149610550
literally france.tv

>>149610550
France dot tv

>>149610572
>>149610579
last year there was the broadcasting companys official stream. just need a french vpn and to sign up, 1080p no lag. cant remember the name

>>149610642
That's the one, it's the website to French national broadcaster that does the tour

>>149610198
What meals shall the Shimano car dine on in this TdF?

unless Kirby is on it's Páidí and Pádraic on commentary for me

hello berts

>>149610283
14, 16, 18 and 19 are gonna be fun, 10 and 15 as well.

>>149610283
etappe 18 will be awesome

Personally I'm looking forward the puncher stages. Mountain stage we know how it's going to end

>>149610217

>>149610165 (OP)
>pogiwinslol
exciting day ahead

>>149610945
We will get echelons today

Reckon Wout will sprint today? He could take yellow tomorrow and keep it for quite long after the ITT as well
>inb4 Visma doesnt want the yellow jersey

>>149611005
I think the main focus of the team will be on keeping Jonas safe. He might be able to do the punchy sprints later this week

>>149611005
Depends on the race innit he will be chained to the fishman till 3km to go

S E P P

>>149611053
Why Tom eyeing him like that

>>149611038
There are 6 other riders who can do that, this tour start is literally made for Wout

>>149611124
We both know it's not how they operate

Watching netflix season 3 while I wait

>>149611274
name?

>>149611124
This aint 2021 anymore, Woutje is not winning any mass sprints

CHECKED IN

>>149610198
I like blue frames

Wout redemption arc inbound

Hey folks!!!!
Finally, it's time. The Tour is here.
I'm looking forward to some supreme shitposting with you.

I really like you folks and i had this idea, hear me out.
How about we all get together this year and do a /cyc/ meet up at one of the stages this year?
What do you say? Cycling enthusiasts go camping together, enjoy nature and have a blast.
I have two tents and a van with which i can haul massive supplies. By supplies i mean mostly beer but i can get my hands in some weed it people want this but no pressure. The most important thing is that we are together and have fun.

What do you say Bros?
LET'S GO CAMPING!!!!!!

>>149611519
Will you be up ventoux + do you have a bat? I have an compelling offer you cannot refuse

>>149610283
>9 stages of flatslop

>>149611519
wonderful idea

>>149611519
I'm in, but it is a bit of a short notice though

flat stages are a retvrn to tradition
It's how the Tour was originally supposed to be.

>>149611650
Certainly leaves something for the non climbers to enjoy themselves on rather than just dying the entire tour

>>149611519

well, the pattern is very clear at this point

>>149611519
Impossible to know by now if this is still the actual murderer or German IP pasta

>>149611519
Weren't you in prison for eating people or something

Skjelmose or Nys?

gm, time to peacock

It's days like today you really miss having GCN, Brent Bookwalter and Tejay Van Garderen are woeful analysts

>>149611912
No

>>149611912
Yes

Which broadcast has legend of the sport Phil Liggett?

>>149611912
Nys won't do shit. Every stage which would suit him will have the big boys fighting it out

Cycling fantasy commentators

>Jose Been
>Adam Blythe
>Jez Cox
>Pippa York

Is this the worst English commentary line up possible?

AND SO IT BEGINS
hope no bs nigger stage wins this year, god bless

W24T's knee gore full screen when???

Combined Norwegian and Danish broadcast on Eurosport, this best not be the case for stage commentary

stage 10 is the first mountain stage? are you fucking kidding me?

and we live with the pre-show

Anybody watching the tour de France Hommes sans zwift today

blessed tour is back :))

c’est parti

IM READY

Anton Schiffer of Bike AIDS won

HERE WE GO

Every year I kind of tell myself in this contrarian, elitist tone that I'm not more excited for the le tour than any other race, that I'd rather watch some kermiskoers, or that the vuelta can have more exciting racing, bla bla bla. But I am excited and I do look forward to shots of guys playing chess on top of crags and I do listen to the move after each stage.

>>>149597124
Why is the roadbook not publicly available

>>149610502
There's just no artistry. It is busy but at the same time lifeless, flat, ugly; like something found in a gift shop by a no name brand. You're right, yellow dial PRX would have been great. Also I absolutely disgust the date wheel tucked between 4 and 5 on any watch.

>>149611650
This I kind of like the vibe for starting the tour with sprint stages, or a prologue

>>149610490
GC action will come in the first week. Pog can't contain himself. Plus the ITT (Remco in yellow).

>>149611407
Unironic nice bike.

>>149610217
>pros in charge of not looking homoerotic challenge
>impossible

>>149612243
Incredible.

>>149612252
Can these slobs just wear a suit once.

Ron Rooni unfrauded

>>149611407
This bike looks better than any bike ridden this year at the tour. But you can't even buy it anymore origine has moved on to uglier model

>>149612267
You're on TV you dolt look the part and put on a suit

a second ceremony had hit the grand depart

Can't even park my car next to my house because of this trash

omg we're off!

Did I miss any dancing today?

>>149612807
le KOM man

>first attempt at a breakaway gets away

tour de france is so boring. when's the next Giro?

RETIRE ALREADY SEAN KELLY YOU FUCK

>>149612782
I'm back for the TdF
Risking it all by going pogi and jonasfree

Also I didn't spend all my points, but that's mostly because of the climber split being awkward. But it's only 2 remaining points so meh.

wow what a shit break

>>149612848
i think hes kinda cute rambling

Jonas already wheelsucking Pogi so hard he sneaked in on the NCs/WC

>>149612848
well..........nooooooo..........errrmmmmm

>>149612857
Forgot my image because I had to wait 2 minutes to post

ugly-ass bike

At least Total got a rider in the break.

I went boring cowardly team

I need a sean + lemond le tour duo. simple as

>>149612954
uhm have you looked at the parcours

>>149611519
no acid this time, rape bert? kek

>>149612933
Sprinters were pretty cheap this year compared to GC riders. For example, I'm more confident in Merlier bringing in the points than in Mas.

>>149612985
yeah there's only four sprints you fucking retard

>blackfacemurican at the front
When will this ever stop? we need more free palestine and Gretas glued to the road protests

>>149612933
2 sprinters has always been the winning meta for GT teams

westoid companies are donezo
china is producing the best wheels and frames now

>>149612973

Wasting such a nice puncher on an useless task

>>149613099
hahahaa scrub
I've not been on a bike for a year I don't even put the front wheel on my road bike lmfao

>299

>Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe can score their 300th professional victory in its history.

>>149613033
what groupset did you put on your er one and what was the total price of that bike?

I considered all 5 riders in the break but didn't pick any of them

is a windwave worse than a heatwave? tired of this shit

>>149613155
you spelled retards wrong bro

>>149613214
they will come back in fashion eventually. like every wears baggy clothes now. looks retarded to me

blue shoes on Vercher

>>149613230
I'm a big fan of Shimano blue myself

>>149613156
What cardio you do instead?

For me it's running

watching for the first time, not really sure what to look for but it's comfy

>>149613247
probably nothing will happen in this stage until the sprint at the end
but it's comfy just having it on in the background

>>149613262
indeed, I missed tdf a lot

>>149613078
WTF this isn't aero!

>>149613278
>>149613283
Yeah, didn't read the whole post.

But damn, only indoor biking, that's disgusting.

>>149613245

good pacing from Thomas as the idiots burned matches

Who won between 1999-2006?

>>149613467
What is this rider pick sum about?

>>149613467
huh, my team is kinda boring after all

Benjamin Thomas with the cosnefroy award

>>149613482
the higher the score, the less original is the team

POG SWEEP

French nationalism cancelled by shimano car

DNF POGACAR

>>149613482
the higher, the more often your riders were picked by others

wouldn't it make more sense for that simmons guy to take a break, alpecin seem in a panic they will take over gladly

>>149613416
Yeah anglo casting is the worst

skelly moose dropped

roglic chute when?

>>149613548
Tomorrow

>>149613410
>they fell for the allahflip meme

Do riders still hate visma in the peloton or do they mostly have sympathy now

>>149613548

GANNA DOWN

CHUTE

and we got first chute

NOOOO GANNA

Italian stallion about to beat up someone

>>149613548
Just as you start to think it won't happen again this time

Chute Ganna

looks bad

>>149613616
Oh no... not Sean FLYNN

>>149613424
Closing the stream and starting it again removes the ad, so probably a bug

>>149613531
Misspelled "doped"

>>149613531
He is using the Ciccone strategy of losing 20 minutes then gaining them back in a break and get 9th overall>>149613529

so whats the wind situation

Nice mountains

>>149613616
completely obscured by trees

>>149613548

Vingegaard? More like Vingegored, or Vingegone.

pretty exciting for a first etape

I fucking hate Peacock

The motorbike jury stalking Ganna after he crashed while letting Nys drafting as much as he wants after a bike change, blatant italophobia right here

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BULLSHIT
also getting rid of the adds is so easy just refresh the feed lol

Just tuned in why are they riding like feral dogs

>>149613804
imagine not having state sponsored ad free tour tv top tier guest country stuff

>>149613814
echelons coming up probably everyone wants to be in front

>>149613822
State sponsored tv is only for grooming and subversion, not entertainment

wind and shiiiieet

>>149613822
They are spending money on fucking Wimbledon instead...

I'm off to the Piscine extérieure.

>>149613842
grim we don’t have tennis people anymore luckily

>>149613814
a lot of open roads coming up. wind maybe more of a factor in a moment, also gets a little more narrow, they will be leaving this main road after this town

The lack of french anons ITT is deafening btw

>>149613814
gotta test that new ketone regime

>>149613804
just wrote support and had the sub cancelled and refunded within five minutes.

Lipo out today, Roglic before first rest day.

nobody helping lipowitz, RBH is retarded

As always im reminded how velogames is more about avoiding certain riders than picking the best peformers

>>149614034
They’re too stretched for an extra guy for Lipo can’t leave Rogla can’t leave a shot for yellow with Meeus

>>149614034
Were in the age beyond teams

>>149614034
always has been, Red Bull choose the wrong team to throw money at. They have achieved nothing without Roglic who is to crash prone

Long time since I posted anything about my condition but I am still making progress. Legs still dont work and it'll likely stay like that.

We recently ended the fundraiser that my club did for me and I've gotten a list of donations. I can find two donations from /cyc/ for pretty nice amounts. Thanks Berts, it means a lot to me

How accurate are bike computers when it comes to calories burned? Like a total retard I hopped on the bike today (its been years) and it was way fucking hotter than I thought, felt like dying. My heartrate shot up to 189bpm after a small climb.
According to my garmin ive burned 800 cal and lost a liter of water in an hours ride, which seems ridiculous

Didi spotted

>>149616078
not that accurate at all

>>149616078
if your weight is right and your using a accurate powermeter it should be okay enough. if it's estimating power then probably shit

>>149616078
>>149616102
>>149616103
Pretty accurate if you are using a power meter. People don't differ all that much in their efficiency to to produce mechanical power. Even plenty of training does not change it all that much.

Guys you have to like that fb ef post so we can get a rider calender.

My dad works for lockheed martin and he pinched an inter continental ballistic missile from work for me because he knows how much I hate poogacar. We're going to take him out in the coming days berts, we're so back. Cycling is saved but I still need someone on ventoux with a bat just in case.

>>149616300
commercials on max is devilish

Nooo my pick :(

>>149616307
No difference in efficiency Bert. Pros have many magnitudes of matches more than normal people.

how did that happen?

>>149616307
They have bigger engine, not a more efficient one. The are able to convert more fuel into mechanical work for a given time.

>>149616307

I'm not getting commercials on Max. Wrf are you guys paying for?

I once tore off rear derailleur on me road bike. I had really tightly fitted fenders and there was muddy patch on a route. some significant amount of mud got stuck between fender and tire and I didn't really notice it. sure, if was a bit harder to pedal, but I thought it was the wind. then there was a little hill and I pushed some more watts and snap, my derailleur hanger broke. had to do makeshift singlespeed conversion to ride home.

Camera work has been awful

Roglic and Remco in G2

>>149616600
yeah but it's more complicated than it was a few years ago, you wouldn't get it with a low level sub. not worth the brain cells figuring it out from scratch.
