2022 fully fit Jonas destroyed Pog in week 3
2023 fully fit Jonas destroyed Pog in week 3
2024 Jonas was injured
2025 Jonas is fully fit...

just stating the straight FACTS. get on the week 3 bandwagon

>>149678711
Jonas had a major crash this year in Paris Nice. Prepare to hear this fact a lot come the mountain stages.

What are you doing until the TT? Any good documentaries to watch?

>>149678729
Well Pogi had a tough spring and now has to do the time trial with suboptimal equipment.
I'd say if he loses less than a minute to the Dane that is a moral victory for Pogi.

>>149678674 (OP)
>Caen - Caen

>>149678711
Counterpoint: Bald fraud.

>>149678711
>2022 fully fit Jonas destroyed Pog in week 3
Granon was week 2 and the first mountain stage. In fact Jonas was consistently just better than Pogacar during this whole Tour

>>149678729
>major crash
finished the stage and barely lost and time. don't fall for the Jumbo tricks

>>149678806
I considered that but Jonas also said he did his best numbers last year. So while Pog has improved with a new coach, Jonas has also improved with [REDACTED]

Mr. Slick Rick

2024 fish >> 2023 fish through the first 15 stages.

don't know much about mountain biking but this popped up in my feed and was pretty cool

I hope vingegaard loses

what are they saying?

>>149679385
What do you mean Pog is a classics rider.

>>149679561
rude

>>149679053
no need to be mad at us because Remco is bad

>i got my shit together and closed the gap
oh no Jonas is unstoppable he has found out to just push pedals harder

free money

>>149676576
The way photo finishes are done is strip photography. Essentially the camera is taking 1 px wide images of the finish line constantly and then parses that into one photograph. And the produced image shows everything how it was just as it passed the finish line. This is also why fast moving things, like spokes, will look distorted in these photos. The other end of the spoke has time to move to different position than it was when the first end of the spoke crossed the line. It's also why the background stays the same, the background is how the finish line looks, it's also why there's a white finish line on all races, it makes the images easier to read when there is a white background.

>>149679828
the kid must see him more as an older sibling, right

>>149678942
love watching these

>>149679983
tl;dr The x-axis is time and the image shows everything exactly how it was when it passed the finish line.

>>149679561
Rude

>>149679561
RUDE

Why doesn't Rog just lose time and go for stages? I doubt he nor Bora care about a top 10 GC finish. Him and Lipo can easily win a few stages in the 2nd and 3rd week

I think this is the part when another one of us reply with 'Rude' too'

>>149679395
Just call in sick.

>>149678674 (OP)
>Remcowinslol

>>149680441
But he's losing time, bert, please pay attention

Why are bertowski's numbers always a bit wrong for the velodrama points? What do we pay him for? The higher-ups need to take a stand for once, he's ruining our image

Lipowitz status?

What happened to puncheurs? How come a cyclo-cross rider and the two GC favorites are uncontested on the pinch finishes.

>>149680776
Warum muss der Herr schon wieder Scheiße auf uns regnen lassen?

>>149680647
The camera is always set up correctly, most rules state that the point at which the camera is pointing to is the finish line. It's the marker on the ground that's incorrectly set.

Who needs motors, when you can just pedal faster than them?

>>149681300
>when you pedal so fast the motor slows you down

>>149679994
What's wrong with his forehead

>>149681062
Because the cyclocross rider and the two GC favourites are the three best puncheurs in the world

>"It was a tough start to this tour for me. I suffer a lot on these days to get through. Of course I always want to win, but in this case I don't care about the time gaps. I give everything day after day and we'll see what comes out in the end," Roglic told radsport-news.com at the finish.

>He did not mention the main reason why he could not keep up. His sporting director Rolf Aldag took care of that in an interview with Jens Voigt on the Eurosport microphone. “We got through reasonably well, but not with the result we had hoped for,” admitted the former pro, before explaining: "Primoz' bike was involved in the crash with team-mate Mick van Dijke. From then on, the derailleur stopped working. That's why he had to ride the rest of the stage on the big chainring. The steep climb on the big chainring is more like torque training. He saved himself quite well. But it wasn't ideal."

We had to rank breakfast cereals today in the office as part of a fun practice activity and the entire office boo'd me when I said oatmeal was the best

>>149681403
Thats actually a shop. Does anyone have the picture outside the hospital that shows his true forhead?

grim

>>149681892
God this is such a boomer infested general. Zoomchads know it's split between golden nuggets and krave. Christ you may as well have said "I usually skip breakfast because I'm watching my cholesterol" YAWN

>>149681892
doubt there's an american alive who knows how to make a good bowl of porridge.
I could convert all these heathens

>>149681892
>We had to rank breakfast cereals today in the office as part of a fun practice activity
i would have just left
fucking clown stuff

>>149682004
do you eat it clean and pure or with toppings

>>149682004
My mom makes godly porridge, I'm not as good as her but I try

>>149682004
I can't make good oatmeal from American oats for some reason. I don't know what it is. Whatever brand of oats I try in the US they just don't come out right. When I can do a fine oatmeal with whatever oats I find here.

>>149681892
>fun practice activity
here’s your corpo slop

>>149682060
soak oats over night in milk
cook slowly
mix honey while cooking

add whatever the fuck you want. for me, banana and cinnamon

My great grandmother used to make porridge but with no milk. Watery oats. She was a legit irish peasant though. Saying that she grew up on a farm with cows. Surely you'd get a singular dairy cow for yourself.

>>149682111
>mix honey while cooking
i need to try this
>>149682120
porridge made with water is lame

I eat my porridge with cinnamon sugar on top and a splash of whole milk.

I make porridge with Rye Bread and Beer, serve it with fruit and cream

i think jonas is going to lose big in the mountains with almeida marking him everyday

>>149682169
I never finished it, they were extremely poor. I remember visiting. She's always smoke a lot and spend the time in the kitchen cooking for us with whatever she had. The peasant is crazy in their lifestyle. My dad's got the peasant mentality too. Very simple basic living to meet needs.

He gasped when I suggested he buys a replacement fridge with ice dispenser. Seethed why I bought air con. Peasants want to suffer I believe.

>>149682274
>porridge with Rye Bread and Beer
Øllebrød!

>>149682319
You know it guttermand

>>149682274
>I make porridge with Rye Bread and Beer
so øllebrød traitor dane?

>>149682330
you should try and add white chocolate and vanilla icecream
it becomes god tier dessert

>>149682332
ppattt

>>149682373
>Dessert for breakfast
You and I are in the wrong countries, we should switch

>>149682411
no no no no
make the Øllebrød with white chocolate and icecream and SERVE it as a dessert
also Øllebrød with coconut icecream is so fucking good

it is what it is

>>149682453
Axelgod is doubting Jonas at his own cost

>>149682475
not so fast

>>149682490
keep reading
he is still doubting him and says that Pogi is still the clear favorite

>>149682490
moral victor

So Axelgod is just closing his eyes to the dauphine TT?

>>149682623
to be fair that route was much better for Jonas and tomorrow is a pure watts on flat/rolling terrain which is pogi terrain because of his higher peak watts

>>149682490
>pogi beats jonas every single time but surely this time will be different

>>149681892
This is the grimmest thing i've ever heard.
I never participated in anything these marketing and HR fucks organized. They can put their teambuilding and bday drinks in their ass, im just there to make money and go home. I even ate in my car to avoid all the fake fucks making smalltalk in the breakrooms.
Maybe I'm just not obedient enough, only lasted a year. I'm just neeting and farming now.

ps. based oatmeal lover, they're just addicted to goyslop and act like it's cool to collectively cope with their addiction

>>149682683
Pogi has pretty shit aero position though which is more important on flats

>>149682739
i dont know how many job interviews i have just left because they started the "we are a family" talk
fuck you im here to make money not get a 2nd family
its so cringe and i hate it

I think it's nice when the people you spend 8 hours a day with are friendly and attentive

>>149682790
Only later I realized that for many people their job is literally their identiy. It makes sense for them to threat it as a family when it's their work is their sole purpose on life.
A redneck family though cuz they'll stab eachother in the back for every little bit of prestige

>>149682819
being friendly, yes
being friends, no

>>149682819
I like to stay formal really hate listening to co worker life bullshit it’s not even a two way conversation street they just want to offload their bagage really.

>>149682839
>their job is literally their identiy
was me before covid
during covid and lockdowns i realised how fucking stupid and irrelevant jobs are besides as a source of income if you work at some office or something the like and how much time it takes away from thing you actually wanna do and that companies will tell you that you are a part of some grand family only to fire you when you inconvenient
now i clock in 1 second before i have to show up for work and leave always a minimum 15 minutes before im off

>>149682941
>that pic

>>149682941
Good, now take the 2nd redpill. You're perfectly fine working parttime. Or not at all if you can get giv gibs. The more money you have the higher your living standard but you can get by with a lot less than you think.
Free time is worth much more than any materialistic good. Go walk in nature, do some farming, keep some animals, learn to cook, bake, fix stuff in your house. The fullfillment you'll get is 100x what you could ever get from a job or "things".

>>149683169
i work 37 hours a week and not a damn second more unless i get paid double
i still like my apartment and i like good food and good wine
i also like going traveling on vacations, its not cheap living but sure my mentality around work has changed alot

>>149683200
I sit in an office and read books and play card games because my president nuked the public sector for some reason

>>149683169
Absolutely based take. Some people may have 2k spare every month who I speak to, but is that worth the 40hr sacrifice? For some yes because they have social jobs that are basically adult nursery. Most hate their job.

A thing I notice is that normies will scoff that you don't work yet they'll also boast and discuss how little work they did that day. Real social engineering. Not like vast majority of jobs do anything anyway. We could all just be neet. But most aren't built for neet. They need to be told what to do and ordered around in a crowded environment.

Another EXPLOSIVE day of GC action from the BIG QUATRE (Pogi, MVDP, Joao, and Remco) and time for another /WORLD TOUR WINE/ !!

We are spending the Grand Depart in the Hauts-de-France and remain in Champagne for /WTW/. Yesterday's wine was an exemplar of the great Maisons of Champagne, but today we are on a different tack with "grower" Champagne. The vast majority of grapes in Champagne are grown by family farmers and then sold to the large Maisons (Moet et Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, Bollinger, Krug, etc) for vinification. In contrast, grower Champagnes are both grown and vinified by individual vignerons. These are often single vintage, sometimes even single vineyard. This is an expanding segment, but still makes up less than 5% of exported Champagne.

Jean Velut 'Premier Temps' Brut Champagne ($45)

The contrast between this and Krug couldn't be funnier. The label looks like it was printed at Kinkos. This is 100% Chardonnay, disgorged in 2024 after 3.5 years on the lees (in contrast, yesterday's Krug spent 7 years on the lees). Dosage is 7 g/l.

The nose is bready, more crusty baguette than brioche, followed by yellow apple and marzipan. This has an oxidative quality that I enjoy in many Champagnes -- it brings nuttiness and complexity to an otherwise very austere profile. The palate is zippy, with tongue-tingling acidity, bruised yellow apple, minimal citrus, and lingering almond finish.

This is really good stuff, moderate complexity. Not profound like the Krug, but finer than the Anima Mundi Cami dels Xops from Volta a Catalunya which was made with Methode Ancestrale (please refer to previous editions of /wtw/ for more information).

>>149684202

Realistically Ganna was perhaps their best chance at a stage victory with a long, pancake flat TT tomorrow

Fourth year in a row that Vingegaard holds the wheel of Pogacar on punchy climbs in the Tour but people still act surprised

https://www.domestiquecycling.com/en/news/red-bull-blame-derailleur-issue-for-roglic-losses-on-tour-de-france-stage-4/
I-It was a mechanical issue, h-he is not washed.

>>149687893
He's simply a very good all-around rider, especially in the past 2-3 years. If the Tour was all hilly/medium mountain stages, he'd still be the best by far apart from Pogacar. Which raises a question:

WHY THE FUCK DOESN'T HE RIDE LBL AND LOMBARDIA???

I hate Plugge so much, it's unbelievable.

>>149687893
thats because the rest of the year no one else can

not me i live in denmark

Shall be focusing all my (limited) energy to send negativity to Evenepoel today. Can't stand the little snidy manlet.

>>149688734
be nice i got a question tho they doing la vuelta a austria when la vuelta a francia is on if you doing austria its cuz your not good enough make it to francia right?

Tour of Austria is 2.1 category, basically a mickey mouse race

>>149688798
sub 17 vs wc i see

I will not watch one second of the Tour d'Austria

>>149688777
>>149688824
your fellow sudacas Isaac will most likely win it

Take a look at the team ranking please and appreciate the total squeaker domination

>>149688899
Wait I have been lied on by léquipe

>>149688918
>I have been lied on by léquipe

>>149688870

>>149688002
>He's simply a very good all-around rider

He simply isn't though. He's a terrific GC rider, but that's it. Of his 38 victories, only ONE is a one day race, all the others stages and GC's. As for Liege and Lombardia, most likely he can't handle the length, his poor results in these races speak for themselves.

>>149688971
He's an elite one day racer who doesn't do one day races

>>149688968
what
how is it rude?

>>149688986
only hope for Jonas to take one day racing serious is if he has a season where does NOT do TDF

>During the night from Saturday to Sunday, the Cofidis team fell victim to a burglary. The door of the workshop truck was forced open, and eleven LOOK Cycle bikes were stolen despite the security measures that had been put in place
>Some of the staff combed the area and managed to get their hands on five bicycles, which had been thrown away by the criminals in undergrowth near the hotel
LOOK bikes literally in the dirt

Here's all Vingegaard's results in one day races of the last three seasons:

2024 San Sebastian: DNF
2022 Lombardia: 16
2022 Liege: DNF
2022 Fleche: DNF
2022 Hainaut: 76
2022 Drome: 1
2022 Faune Ardeche: 33

>he's secretly really good at riding classics

>>149689121
>2022 Drome: 1
6th monument confirmed

>>149689121
in many ways he won every race he's been in if you really think about it

>>149687893
>Vingegaard holds the wheel of Pogacar on punchy climbs

He literally didn't though...?

>>149689138
And apparently the ones he's not in as well!

>>149689182
the real victories are the friends we made along the way

>>149688912
The plight of the time trial

Spain wildfires have reached Marseille

wind picks up later today
early starters will have an advantage

remember that stage last year where Jonas was well dropped then came back and won a sprint against Pog
and Roglic chuted
anyway the more I think about it the more I believe in Jonas
Pog will soon panic and do something stupid

Can't, shan't, will not respect any wheelsucker ever. It's just how it is.

>>149689252
indeed
fuck Roglic

>>149689246
This was 3d chess by Pogi who let him win, while tiring him out and giving him false hope.

>>149689239
Massive oppertunity for Ganna

>>149689246
2 more weeks

>Sportsdirektør Grischa Niermann har lige fortalt til os, at Affini er én af de tre ryttere, der får lov til at køre igennem. Jorgenson og Vingegaard er de to andre.
Woutbros?

>Wiebes in the break
must be bored out of her mind

>>149689268
might only have to wait 1 week. Jonas is clearly ahead of schedule

>>149689267
>

>>149689246
If Jonas can only beat Pogacar if the latter does something stupid, then you don't really believe in Jonas

>>149689305
meant for >>149689246

>>149689306
he only does something stupid because Pogacar himself believes in and fears Jonas

i dont care that Jonas could keep up or is more explosive now or better at TT's
what i noticed yesterday is that he no longer fears going downhill fast like last year in the TDF where he lost ALOT of time at the most random places
back to being a demon descender like he used to be

>>149689306
>>149689331
Jonas would probably win every Tour if they kept going for 5 weeks
The pressure is on Pogi to take enough time early or hope for something lucky

>>149688679
I'm norf too, only my improted bertjuice keeps me going

>>149689383
So many "ifs" when it comes to Vingegaard

>>149689383
>just two more weeks and Jonas wins

>>149689383
this is why he will panic. I'm sure he was shocked to see he couldn't drop Jonas yesterday
now the doubts start to creep in. oh shit I could only beat him last year because he wasn't fit. the other years he destroyed me. aaahhh save me Joao

>>149688833

>>149689449
>STÜSSI

Everyone knows you lose atleast 1 w/kg when you cross the Pyrenees.

>>149689521

>wake up bert, its starting

>>149689658

Especially if the wind actually does turn later.

>>149689798
whens team time trial

Lucas Plappingdon is in this race???

>>149690017
Austrian timekeeping is all over the place

It was a crisp spring morning, and Liane Lippert was gliding through the countryside on her training ride, the wind whispering through the trees and the rhythmic hum of her tires keeping her focused.

She’d just powered up a steep hill, legs burning, lungs full of fresh air—and maybe a bit too much oatmeal from breakfast. As she crested the summit, letting herself relax into the descent, it happened.

Pfffffft.

A tiny, unexpected toot slipped out, hidden beneath the roar of the wind. Liane blinked. Had anyone heard that?

She glanced behind her—only her training partner Marie, a few bike lengths back. Marie raised an eyebrow and gave her a thumbs-up.

“Extra boost?” she shouted with a grin.

Liane burst out laughing, her cheeks red from more than just the climb. “Turbo mode,” she called back, picking up the pace. From that day on, the team had a new inside joke—whenever someone attacked on a climb, they called it "activating the gas."

Cycling may be serious business, but sometimes, it’s the silly little moments that make the ride unforgettable.

Plapp really sold braking on turns

Very squeaky TT from Lenny

Used to live in Caen, the stage passes right in front of my former building. Feels nostalgic man, but what an ugly city that is.

ITT are peak comfy

>>149690305
Why ugly? Looks fine from what I've seen.

And this is after 8 km. De Lie will get OTL if he goes on like this

>>149690305

Damn Groenewegen is THICK

I missed the thread yesterday but it's okay because I went to breakfast with my grandmother instead

If Remco beats Romeo by 3 minutes, Storer is OTL. Not impossible

bring back team time trials

And De Lie is going to be way way slower

Business idea: TT champions have to beat all their countrymen or they lose the jersey.

>>149690503
Please no

>>149690520

Lol lmao

What a slacker

Milan looks pretty smooth on TT bike for a non-specialist. must be benefits of track background

>>149690490
OTL rule won't be executed anyways, there would be too many.

Affini is DESTROYING these frauds. Jonas will be not normal

>>149690456
cute

Brutal mog by Affini

Is girmay trying to go for the points?

>Pay day
I can FINALLY pay off my denbts

>>149690573
No it's 25%, almost nobody will get in trouble. Remco would have to go 58 or something to take Storer out. Only De Lie, but he is probably wheelsucking someone who passed him so he'll be fine
