>>149622320 (OP)
Pogimerdawinslol

>>149622369
All too easy. I've also heard that Clive will surprise in the Sibiu Cycling Tour

Hows the weather on tomorrows stage???

>>149622320 (OP)
incredibill performance by our belgian fren remDOLF today if i might say so

>>149622429
windy, a bit of rain

>>149622447
>remDOLF
Here's one for your collection, brother

Crazy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUWVl74qF94

>>149622554
not normal

survived an assassination attempt award

So O'Connor is just finished because of that EF retard? Wow

>>149623127
o’conner was always finished couldn’t hold eight minutes against roglic who spent half that season benched

>>149622320 (OP)
so why did roglic come to the tour? he knew he'll be exposed hard

>>149623670
Ze sponsors

>>149622413
I have heard this too, mou did a piece on it

>>149623168
He could've at least fought for T10. Especially with a free 40s head start.

>>149623719
>>149623168
get vandenberg'd

>>149623670
Sponsors can't afford to leave the best paid rider at home.
Honestly he should lose 10 minutes in the first week and then stage hunt.

>>149623782
KOM Roglic arc would be kino

>>149623782
unironically he should transform into a hill classics rider in his twilight years

>>149623782
Everyone but Jonas and pooface should do this. 21x 1 day races. GC a side show.

>jasper the disaster in the yellow jersey
shit race so far

>>149623920
Ehh I'd argue that to some people tdf podium would mean a lot.
Not to guys like Roglic and Remco but Mas would kill for that.

>>149623969
the magic negro should have pedalled harder

>>149623670
He's been sick after Giro so he came in only as velobait

>>149623969
really the only way to spoil a great day of racing

I don't get the Jappe hate?
Yes he is an asshole on a bike but so are most other great sprinters. Cavendish and Cippolini were miles worse than him and don't get half the hate.

>>149624456
I think it’s more a hate for pure sprinters with a personality like lamejappe

>>149624456
Cippo had swag and Mork is a regular working man story of success

>>149624456
If he just owned being an unlikable asshole, just embrace the heel life. Instead he chose to be a whiny one dimensional void.

>>149624456
>Cavendish and Cippolini don't get half the hate
Both have gotten amounts of hate jappe wouldn't be able to cope with.

>>149624456
succes breeds contempt, the danes hate anyone non-danish basically lol

>>149624965
I think it's because he's friend with pogi lmao. They're trully mindbroken but some chubby faced dude pushing pedals

>>149623782
The sponsors only care about GC

>>149624456
i agree. i want my athletes to be characters not good people. anyone who thinks otherwise should think otherwise

>>149624722
only one [uno] of these has podiumed roubaix btw

>Grug still on tubular
Interesting, though these didn't exists anymore

>>149625422
Are there any advantages to tubeless over tubular if you have a team mechanic? Puncture resistance?

No.

>>149625529
i think if you have a mechanic tubeless has an advantage. sealant solves 90% of the issues, and for the 10% that it doesn't, the mechanic gives you a new wheel

>>149624456
The only people who like Cavenbitch are brits. Even other riders and teammates of his always spoke VERY carefully about him, so it's clear they fucking hated him.

>>149624456
cipolini haha

>>149626138
next you are going to tell us disk breaks are great

Kek what a raped bitch

Chris need to upload earlier. He's missing the euro audience.

>>149627925
That is irrelevant. He's not helped himself here through this gay post. He treated the kid like shit whether he got a signature or not.

Imagine you're star struck lost for words, your hero rides up and you can muster "can I have your signature?" and then you're left stunned by a negative response, followed up with another "MOVE".

Stupid muslim cunt. Israel needs to send a few more missiles to palestine for this. Punishment. I liked his innocent man let rage before but now he's muslim it makes sense. An entire religious group of disrespectful seething manlets. Wout would never.

>>149627925
mustafa is a cucked bitch
kwaceb (kek what a cucked eunuch bitch)
also what a fall from grace; from someone touted as the next merckx to a future giro stage hunter and cian uijtdebroeks domestique in the tour
the yoko ono effect needs to be seriously studied

>>149628391
Bubber did that to me when I was a small chap. Not a good experience.

>>149628396
Maybe getting ensnared by an epic independent dominant woman tanks your testosterone so every aspect of your being shrivels into nothing.

>>149628420
Pogacar seethes after he lost flanders, and remember the year. He rode off to seethe alone then came back refreshed and apologised. Dare I say that is very admirable. Maybe remco needs to find a quiet spot and use a stress toy for 5 minutes before facing the fans. Maybe a couple verses of the islamic toilet roll he worships.

>>149628424
ya that's the yoko ono effect
becoming enamoured to the point of emasculation
can't believe I used to like the guy
now he's just a castrated time trialist with "puncheur" skills

>>149627925
>Vos paroles sont durs, mais n’ont aucun effet sur moi.

>>149624456
>I want to die in an orgy
Cipo is the GOAT.
>>149625353
Ruby is a meme classic thoughever.

just watching the highlights since I missed the race earlier

this was kino, and he went on to win the stage too

>>149629129
Thats Groves

what happen today? is there time gapd? fucking hell I've been drinking the last 10 hours we got absolutelty raped in the hurling i missed the tdf

>>149630916
remkek evenekwabel eunuch mustafa lost enough seconds to not even be sure of the yellow jersey after the TT

>>149630916
Jonas split it in the side wind.

>>149630992
Jonas spilt his matches in half. he's fucking done

>>149630916
Soberest Irish man

>>149629227
the commentary said it was philipsen

Ahaha, what a retard

Jaspe hater seething lmao

>>149631974
Just get a whore ffs, how hard can it be?

>>149631974
phenotypical archetype of french perversion

Oh nice, they made a podcast without the retards

>>149632404
is wiggo the poorest CBE?

>>149624165
the ONLY way it could be worse if if girmay was in yellow
the cucked media would never shut teh fuck up about it for a hundred years

>>149613601
>Le manager de l’équipe Total-Energies a vécu de sacrées émotions, de la chute improbable de Mattéo Vercher à la très belle quatrième place d’Anthony Turgis. Et dans le contexte du Tour, dans celui de ce parcours taillé comme une classique, il a surtout vu deux types de coureurs bien distincts. "Il y a les coureurs comme Anthony Turgis qui ont fait les Flandres, Milan-Sanremo… Ceux-là ont le diplôme de coureurs, a-t-il lancé. Et puis il y a ceux qui viennent manger le gâteau du Tour, qui étaient à Tenerife, qui ont peur."
>Cette différence de préparation n’est pas anodine. Cela peut entraîner des attitudes et des réactions différentes qui sont de nature à faire grimper la tension d’un cran sur ce type de parcours. "C’est important de montrer qu’il y a deux mondes qui se côtoient, ceux qui sont en altitude pour les globules et ceux qui font le programme à l’année, a poursuivi Bernaudeau. Quand on fait le programme à l’année, on sait faire du vélo." Ce n’est certainement pas la seule explication de ce premier opus mouvementé. Mais elle n'est pas à négliger au regard du profil des prochaines étapes.
Looks like it

>>149625843
memorial?

>>149632954
Gino

>>149633054
i knew i recognized the location. still makes me sad because 2023 was my first year of watching racing

>>149624965
>>149625034
>post is about jappe hate
>start seething about danes

Who's mindbroken again lol?

Anyone have the webm of walking into a steel fence and then apologising to it afterwards?

>>149622413

what happened?

>Roglic and Remco lose 15 minutes on the first week and go stage hunting
>UAE and Visma will never have to pace the peloton because shitter teams will do it for them for free to defend their 3rd place
Fund it

>>149634248
WOUT ffs

>>149634043
You're not fooling anyone Bert, I'm not the one that stopped watching the sport (but still watching btw) because my favorite doper lost to another doper

>>149628616
kek

>>149631649
the commentary was wrong and also blind. race number was clearly visible

>>149627925
Honestly it's getting sad

>>149632404
Sir Brad is pretty bad, doesn't understand podcast is more of a performance in front of an agnostic imaginary audience than a chat with a pal over a beer and does a lot of 'yeah, uhuh, innit' while contributing little.
Let's see if he develops over time.

>>149631649
>>149634387
here. race number 103

>>149632015
>IN THE 2KM BEFORE THE LINE JASPER ALSO LOOKED FUNNY AY GIRMAY AND POSSIBLY SAID THE N WORD

>>149632015
school hall monitor

>>149634445
The coquard thing is fun because it's clearly coquards fault

what does /cyc/ use for fuel before BIG rides, during BIG rides and for recovering from BIG rides?
losing weight and ridding hard and long have been progressively harder for me
yesterday I kinda felt hungry during all my ride, felt really empty towards the end too
I know it was a 370 tss but I still felt weak

>>149634471
yeah, Cockhard would get relegated for it if it was finish line

>>149634472
A bit more rice than usual outside and a lot of sugar during, like 100g per hour. Just plane sugar in the bottle with some lemon, and then haribo

>>149634434
wtf i love Jasper now

>>149634264
Ineos getting third by others fucking up again

>>149634472
carbs loading with pasta before, sugary drinks in second bidon and gels during the ride.

>>149634264
>Roglic and Remco lose 15 minutes on the first week
who the hell will take the 3rd place then?!

>>149634494
>>149634507
yeah I usually do that, but somehow I really felt a bit off I dunno
I did this exact ride a few weeks ago and the power output was quite a bit higher and felt great
this time it was like 5w lower but I was faster overall due to having a few kg less but it felt bad, like I could bonk at any time
maybe it was just a bad day

>>149634472
Since nobody said anything about recovery food I like banane milkshake add yoghurt in it don’t over do it on the icecream

>>149622344
Please don't tell me the guy on the right is the "podium boy"?
Fuck this gay shit

>>149634541
did you hydrate properly aswell? whats your liquid intake / h

>>149634520
LIPOWITZ, please pay attention to the sport

Today if we're lucky remchud loses more time and has another tantrum

kek

>>149634472
starting two days before a big ride I eat like 10% more than usual
on big rides, white sugar, salt, and lemon juice in my bottles, instead of gels I bought some baby food pouches that I put appelstroop in. Sometimes I'll stop by a grocery store and get some candies
after big rides, pizza and fruit smoothies

>>149634878
There's wind?

>>149634988
yes and rain perfect frontal sidewind

>>149634850

ASO told PCS bert to fuck off with his van, its advertisement which he doesn't pay for, even though he just parks on public roads

Grischa always looks like he's constipated

>Rain and crosswinds
Jonas is making the call as i type this

>wet roads
roglic pickers are sweating rn

>>149635485
Anzeige ist raus. is he stupid or what. Proud homme has direct contact with the president.

Ride done, waiting for my pizza, TdF on the big telly when I get home with the pizza. Life doesn't get any better than this desu.

we're off to neutral start

>>149635655
As if he needs any reason to crash

it's a good day for Karsten en Jeroen chads

>>149635675
What does Fin-berts put on Pizza?

Orla's Bouncing Breasts

half the reason i ride is to be able to eat junk food and veg out on the couch and watch sports afterwards. Best feeling

looks like a tough day for the boys today

cheeky

>>149635776
Thought it was Sheikh at first glance but it was Trentin being funi.

Why does he look Chinese?

>>149635859
I expected more makkera on the pidser

>>149635859
chicken, onions and cum?

>>149635859
Perfect hungover food, heh. How was the ride?

>>149635601
ASO owns the roads during the race

>>149635859
I pray for your soul bert

G ultra or Benjamin ultra?

>>149635859
scary

>>149635886
The ride was an easy 2 hour one after yesterday's BIG RIDE.

>>149635883
Chicken, onions, ananas, blue cheese and mayo

miserable weather

Im getting Fulgsang-Nibali wet Roubaix stage vibes
Many GC riders will be BTFO today if it keeps raining

>>149635912
and we bully swedes for their pizzas, how come we haven't heard of your abomination

>>149635912
Somehow sounds worse than it looks

>>149635931
think so too, this looks really grim so far

HOLY KINO POURING RAIN STAGE

rain is about to stop, sadly

>>149635913
better than most Danish summers. Perfect beach weather

>>149635913
There is no bad weather, only bad clothes

>>149635912
>Chicken, onions, ananas, blue cheese and mayo

here's your group of the day

You are a filthy human
But what can you expect from finns

haha, wtf

>>149635970
armirail repeat offender

>>149635912
mayo is the only questionable ingredient

Best thing about the tour, no minorities in the crowds. One of the rare glimpses of the past.

>>149635983
mamma mia

Mads would have won this

>>149635983
goober

>>149635965

Not just a TDF thing
It happends at every single race down to the smallest kermis

>>149635966
ugly
>>149635983
thats a man

Those Frenchies are high on baguettes

>>149635967
Yes, a nice ride up and down Torniojoki on both sides of the border. We split up from the main group and did a cheeky trip to Aavasaksa and then chainganged it back to Tornio with 5 guys. And then a nice meal served by a couple grandmas. Overall a very nice event.

>>149636004
It's not trying to be authentic Italian pizza. It's a nice big meal and perfect hangover food or when you just want to feel fat while watching sports.

>>149636056
Peak male form

Roglic chute today is inevitable

>>149636081
so much going on here
reminds me of this
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/O8D7IZMRupM

Jappe looks monstrously fat.

>>149636112
No, he's safe. Bora just said over the radio that today's a gc day.

>>149635912

>>149636209
hope these aren't your fingers

>>149636209
Would devour

>And she also believes that Visma should focus more on winning the Tour de France - than meeting other interim goals.
>If you start spending resources on stage victories for other riders, those resources will disappear from Jonas' basket. You can only have respect for how it is done for Tadej Pogacar. When he starts a race, there is no doubt who is the captain. Everyone knows their role. I think that is very important, says Trine Marie Vingegaard Hansen.
Based ice chink spitting facts, fuck Wout, fuck lelgium and fuck Visma for having no spine

>>149636200

>>149636204
Sprinters gotta bulk off season

what's up with all these orchestras

>>149636249
Is that his wife? I find it annoying when riders use their significant others to voice complaints. Just have the balls to say it yourself. Froomedawg used to do the same.

>>149636317
nothing is up they are just being frenchies

Still need a proper pizza competition, maybe 2nd rest day pizza competition

>>149636249
were the wifes of riders always so vocal all the fucking time, bitching around?

TOOT

I WANT THE MOUNTAINS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Fuck sprint stages.

>>149636317
very peculiar isn't it? seems kinda... orchestrated...

>>149636363
Fuck off tourist scumbag

Nothing comfier than a rainy stage

Won a very delicious bet last night with PSG. Now have 30 bong to play with on betting, plus I won the Jasper bet which returned 5.50 on a 1 bet.

Got this for the top 10 accumulator, shitty returns though. Only a pound. Going to play with the rest through the tour and make some delicious big stake bets.

Did you know Andy Schleck is younger than Jakob Fuglsang

>>149636363
This is not a sprint stage

>>149636370
he is right though

>>149636379

Post the full thread

>>149636363
you zoom-zooms haven't suffered through a first week of pan-flat pure mass sprint stages, and it shows

for me its napoli style with mushrooms, olives and roasted aubergine, fior di latte (obviously) and a few chilli flakes on top

cyc related because it's a great post long-ride meal

>>149636382
He is 100% not right
Today is NOT a sprint stage and most likely will end up being the best stage of the entire race, unpredictibel and carnage

>>149636415
nothing about todays stage. He is right. mountains>flat/hilly

a disaster in a breakaway

Lel break dead.

ouch

CHUTE

>>149636637
peloton has no interest in catching them yet

GAPED

Did Remco win the bronze medal?

Karstengod goes to metal festivals

>>149636657
crazy how he would have died without a helmet

Can the honorary white man climb well enough for today?

>>149636657
nooooo fedegod

2 fuckin days in a row the breakaway chutes, fools got no nerves

Breakaways are cursed this edition lmao

>>149636671
I don't think either of them touched the tarmac with their helmets at all

MERLIER

>>149636603
kek

oh wow, they actually made stripes on his rain jacket

Pogi english is getting worse

Big Marlen time

>>149635912
it's time to block the finns too

>>149636568
I don't watch to sit at my desk even on a Sunday and I'm too lazy to do the HDMI thing.

>>149636724
You can buy TDF on Max

>>149636724
Any bets on?

how many deaths today with the rain if it arrives on sprint ?

Wait what happened to Merlier?
I was not paying attention.

De Lie spotted

that's a big lad

>>149636773

Thats alot of steak

>>149636773

>>149636772
BVLL

Idk if other coverage for the Wright interview, he is so likable. I'm surprised he isn't more sought after. He would be great for a team ambassador.

>weather getting better

I don't think this semen slurping sport is for me.

>>149636759
The finish is dry and sunny according to the guys on location and the final km has some rampas inhumanas so I don't think it'll be much of a sprint

always overreacting guys! it will be kino

interesting piss stance

>whole bunch of ads on hbo max
why am I paying for this

>>149636839
might be dry and sunny now but there's 4 hours to go

>>149636864
They have a bunch of nice westerns

>>149636861
kek

>>149636829
Knowers know that less rain means more wind

both cat 3s are over narrow sections of road that itself should give the bunch something to think about

>>149636864
Just refresh the stream and it skips the adds

>>149636920
Jumbo will certainly push to see if they catch anyone out, I think they will push every single chance. This will be a chaotic tour except mountains where it's same story.

>>149636879
I paid extra to not be interrupted by ads

it's insane that they have actually decent commentators but when they go live on TV it's Nass time

tfw no giantess aryna gf

easy

/cyc/ is too comfy i want to shit it up

>>149636935

>>149636861
>when you have morning wood and try to not miss the toilet

hello frens, /cric/ tourist.
what's the purpose of a few riders going off out front? are they trying to make the main group go faster than they want to? i presume it's >easier to cycle in the big group

>>149637004
It's free advertisement

>>149637004
sometimes 4 guys can hold out and keep pace against the entire peloton all the way to the finish

That Zimmermann jersey is disgusting. Trayvon Martin is rolling in his grave

>>149637004
notoriety, one of them could also be awarded "most combative rider of the day" if he maintains that gap for a considerable amount of time and a 0.1% chance of winning the stage (higher than 0.00% had they stayed in the bunch)

>>149637004
they want to be seen on TV, sponsors get their logos seen too
there's bonuses to be had along the way too, sprint and mountain finishes
and once in a while the peloton just won't chase for whatever reason. or more commonly they miscalculate and fuck it up, and can't catch the break. the peloton might crash, there might be all sorts of things that go wrong. and then the break can win the whole stage. it's rare but it happens

G O U R D E

>>149637069
here you go

>>149636972
For top 10 or the win? 365 has placings 1-3 4-9 and 10+ but prices are all really shit. I don't know what will happen today, think I'll skip. Nice pay last night PSG to win 2-4 goals. Should be a nice race.

>>149636969
not today

>>149636928
>I think they will push every single chance

Agreed. Visma realize they cannot beat Pogi in a mountain top finish, so they'll try every other way. Exciting Tour guaranteed.

>>149636958
and she won

ah right, thanks. so it's just an exposure thing and maybe get lucky off a mistake. thought there was some master plan

>>149637126
top 10

>>149637096
for the stage win, took them on the exchange at some good prices

>>149637101
I have hope jonas will actually compete in one of either pyrenees or alps. both might be asking too much

I want a french cowgirl.....

>>149637131
There sometimes can be more of a master plan (e.g. putting a secondary GC threat into the break to force other teams to chase it down, putting satellite riders in the break), but not today

Hello /cyc/lists, what do I need to look out for today?

>>149637139
I don't generally bet big on small stages like this but these two should be fun. I suspect it'll be extremely chaotic finish like yesterday.

effort done
blanche cold
sofa occupied
c’est parti

>>149637176
grug smash

>>149637176
Last 50k should be chaos

>>149637139
Also what site is best for cycling? I like 365 a lot, done well recently.

>>149635912
warcrime’s are less bad than this

has the camera dudes on the bikes ever binned it or crashed kek

>>149637201
>>149637194
Thanks. I don't remember who grug is supposed to be, though

Fairly common they are troublesome

I still can't believe remco dropped the ball on stage 1

>>149637203
I use betfair exchange and unibet mostly. I usually just look on oddschecker for the best odds and use whatever site/clone offers them. bet365 is decent

>>149637286
Wait till you see what he does today

that should be said about quickstep as a whole. they used to be very good at crosswinds

>>149637293
How much have you lost since January

>>149637370
Pretty sure the team dropped to get back to him

>>149637355
he was definitely questionable last year and I hoped he learned the lesson

>>149637259
grug van avermaet. he also coined the name Bert.

>>149637389
the lesson went over his head

>>149637386
well, yes. but first they managed to sole him. he's a little kid in their care, you supposed to watch over that dumbass and keep him from troubles

>>149636772
wow De Lie let himself go

>>149637411

>>149637389
He got caught out in the descent to La Redoute earlier this year. (Yes he had bad legs, but still)

>>149637372

I always like listening to Vaughters on commentary, he's quite frank and honest

I do well though? Nice pay out last night on PSG, nice pay out yesterday on Jappe. Slipped a bet on the F1.

CHUTE

big chute for mr renard

>>149637601
why would you rape out of choice?

>>149637655
Yeah I like him a lot. I like EF a lot too. Fun exciting team waho you can feel good for.

>>149637670
I think so too, bunch will want to catch the break by the sprint finish, and from there it's anybody's race

Are Prologo saddles any good? Heaps of teams seem to use them

I'm still not 100% happy with my current saddle (Ergon) - is Prologo an option I should consider?

>>149637762
You should really consider buying a SQLab™ saddle. SQLab™ saddles are very comfortable, probably the best saddles there are overall.

>>149637762
just try a couple until you find one you like, it's very personal and you don't have sponsors to worry about

>muh doping
god I hate these ard cucks

good on the crowd they're out on a cat 4 in the middle of nowhere pretty much

>>149637762
If it ain't broke, don't fix it

No way Girmay survives lol

>>149637762
Saddles are so deeply personal that no advice can really help you, you should just try out a bunch of saddles

>>149637810
that second cat 3 apparently maxes out at around 15% or so, should do it

>>149637829

I've actually tried them already and found them very hard on the sitbones, almost painful after about an hour. That being said I only tested them for about 3-4 hours in total on the indoor trainer, which i find generally less comfortable than riding outside. And i have heard that some people have persisted despite the pain and it eventually disappeared

>>149638039

So the THC gummy was a degenerate meme and not some scientific enhancement? Guess you cant trust potheads afterall

pogi doesn't sound interested?

>>149638077
>persisted despite the pain and it eventually disappeared
thats kind of the point, on all me previous saddles I never really sat on the sitbones but on the middlepart between asshole and pener (which got numb on longer rides). even on 8h+ gr*vel rides I would never use anything else than a SQlab

>>149638077
My impression is that the saddle is not all that important. Are you sure your position is dialed in?

>roglic at the front

>>149638161

I had a bike fit earlier this year, but I wasn't happy with the very few adjustments that were made. The issues with the saddle continued and in some cases got worse (bike fitter actually raised the height) so i eventually changed most things back. I should probably do another one but am struggling to justify spending another 200 Euros

Shout out the the feller that joined on my escape and kept the pace high enough for it to success.

>>149639207

Why is he mad at Bini?

Some racist remarks were being shouted, innit.

No one cares I hope he dies

i don't see anything untowards that should have caused such a reaction

>>149640006
He was just talking normaly

Was watching with sound off.
What happened during the sprint? I don’t understand why he’s mad

>>149640186
No one does desu

>>149640186
Bini sliiightly deviated to the right, Milan overreacted and moved to the right and touched Merlel

Milan is mad because he is washed. Simple as.

>>149640186
maybe something not on camera
or else he spazzed out for no reason

what is his problem anyway

>>149640186
Mad because not Mads

Nervous as fuck pedalton....
Chute soon.

>>149634472
I eat a hearty breakfast and carry a coconut candy bar or maybe a banana. Don't do rides that long and I am not that fast anyway, so it's usually enough for me. I do plan the route to have a chance of refilling the bidons somewhere halfway thru (based oligocenka public taps).
