"At the bidon stop we were riding in a single file, and I signalled my intention to go and get my bottle of drink. My soigneur was about 20 metres behind Visma. But they decided to pass us on the right. If I wanted to take the bidon, there was nothing I could do but push him (Jorgenson) slightly so I could take the bidon," Pogačar explained his move to the microphones and cameras of Danish TV2, North American Flobikes and British ITV before the start of Saturday's stage.

"For me it was normal - but I don't know what their intention was. They often do that. At the refreshment stations they come in front of you as if they are the only ones there to get drinks and food. Sometimes you have to be patient and stay in the queue behind the bikes to get the bidons and the food. You have to respect everybody," Pogačar, dressed in the leader's yellow jersey, concluded his defence on this topic.

So Visma's tactic is now to prevent Pog from getting bidons. Cheep tactics

>peeing in public
Are they expected to find a bathroom somewhere ? From what I saw they all pee in public by definition (as soon as it's outdoors), ASO is not some micro state that can decide when the law applies.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzHMxgNGmeo

Great episode. Big time gossiping. Remco to Bora seems a done deal, specialized to Ineos though apparently LMFAO. Ineos-Total will fail I think too. They also suggested Quickstep will be dead without Remco which I agree with entirely.

>>149745110
Pissing and shitting outdoors is the most based and natural thing you can do. I knew a man in his 80s who had not once shit in an inside toilet. I once saw him shit in a large city centre park packed with people. When you don't give a fuck what someone you don't know might think then you are free.

Milan won.

>>149746174
>>149746231
This shit only works in private, in the public she will always be associated with her past and every appereance of her is only promoting that, some mistakes just can not be reversed.
Also what does "respectable" even mean? I don't give a fuck about the opinion of my neighbour, why should I care about some born-again whore?

people seriously responding to obvious bait on /cyc/ again

>>149746217
They're not allowed to urinate near spectators.

PLEASE pay attention that it is the Brit posting this

>>149746296
She literally got a job working from home for a friends company because she was being recognised and constantly harassed and bullied. She tried to return to a normal life but society wouldn't let her. So why not? Basically all she does not is talk about sports and go on podcasts.

Been out on an oil rig all year and today was the first day I watched some cycling this year.
>2out
Perfection
I smiled.

>>149746217
It's stupid but it's technically a rule that you're not allowed to do so, they only enforce it when you're peeing near spectators or against somebody's house or something

I remember a funny webm of the giro a few years ago where a dutch rider, I think bouwman, was waiting for a bike change on camera and he just turned around and started peeing against a fence. Pretty funny

They're honestly super cute together

>>149747403
Kind of surprising the US hasn't sold ad space on their flag yet

guys, i was doing some research as i remember last year jumbo visma also Made The Race Hard to benefit their guy over uae's guy

but then i looked at the results of the final mountain stages that would benefit vingegaard

>stage 14 - 4050 vertical meters - mtf: vingegaard +39"
>stage 15 - 5071 vertical meters - mtf: vingegaard +1'08"
>stage 19 - 4512 vertical meters - mtf: vingeaard +1'42"
>stage 20 - 4748 vertical meters - mtf: vingegaard +7"
>stage 21 - 720 vertial meters (ITT) - vingegaard +1'02"

i do think the opening week is harder this year, except that gravel stage they last year, but i'm not sure why visma lab think they're going to wear out pogacar somehow over their own guy

>>149745495
are u 5''6 or 5''7?

>>149747571
Jonas was recovering from his crazy injury last year and that could in theory explain it. There's also a chance he will never be as good as 2022-23 again. He is 28 now and that injury was massive.

>>149747571
That was with a giro he was doing solo’s everyday in to

>>149747818
oh yeah. but pogacar had 31 racedays in the legs going into the tour, as opposed to only 22 this year, i was just looking at the last tour and i had forgotten how dominant he was the final week

i expect pogacar will be great, i don't think the best version of vingegaard will beat this pogacar

Will this be a road bike with clip on aero bars TT?

climbing time trials are stupid it should only be flat wide straight open roads or extremely technical city circuits

>>149748083
so how much will poga win on this

>>149748083
Road bikes with regular handlebars

>>149748083
it’s only ten km? damn

Aranburu will do something any day now....

>>149748083
It's so stupid how they even gave pogacar another stage just for himself. There is literally 0 odds anyone else can win this

>>149748083
Just a road bike

>>149748217
> he doesn't remember this hilly TT

It was so sulphurus that even Indurain who knows a thing or 2 about sulphorus TT's raised an eyebrow.
So no Pog win is not a sure thing.

Big respect for George though. He's bang on. It's not okay putting him in a role like that. Trek don't respect him. I think they're still holding a grudge after le tweet, trek is extremely lefty and corporate so were vocal about wanting him punished.

The other dude is bang on about him being a poor fit too. Trek has lost its American identity entirely. They are euro centric now. Quinn Needs to be in an all American tram like postal bit one doesn't exist currently. I could see him at Bahrain or Quickstep. If George has his tream, it'd be like a sanctuary for American riders and they need that. EF is for California fag types. America have a lot of interesting youths but their crit culture is detrimental to producing WT riders.

>>149748927
Armstrong never did rest days tho, he always did a hard training set on those days. He believes the body shuts down if you wind down.

good burgers can be easily found in any mildly developed countrys in the world these days. What you guys do better than anywhere else is your cajun/creole, American Mexican and real BBQ.

Also regional big corporate cult stuff like Wawa's and pubsubs. Much better than Greggs or Poundbakery.

>good burgers can be easily found in any mildly developed countrys in the world these days
Disagree. I always feel like burgers outside of US are like a crappy photocopy of a good burger

All part of the plan

Yet another boomer that doesn't understand the visma plan

>"She's right about one thing. Visma needs to focus on Vingegaard. There's simply no point in expending force here and there," Riis believes, adding that Visma-Lease a Bike is wasting far too much energy. He's aware that this stance is causing some controversy. "I know it's provocative to say, but they're asking for it at Visma."

>Riis especially doesn't understand why they try so hard to send riders into the breakaway at the beginning of stages. "It's just an unintelligent way to use your energy when you have a guy on the team who can win the Tour de France. There's absolutely no point in riding so aggressively from kilometer 0."

>>149756315

>>149756681
they just don’t get the plan

Going to try clipless for the first time. Got some cheap shoes off Amazon and rental bike. Any tips /cyc/ bros?

Also, two flat stages over the weekend, wtf were they thinking.

>>149756681
>when you have a guy on the team who can win the Tour de France

False premise.

Vingegaardbros...

>>149756681
they know that fish won't win any stages so they try at least to win something

>>149756729
Start off with the mechanism not too tight as you learn how to clip out.
Practice clipping out while doing emergency brakes, otherwise when you have to emergency brake you won't have the reflex to clip out and you'll chute comicale at standstill and feel very embarrassed

Good morning Berts, my girlfriend was out on a ride and said her chain had "come off". Turns out she actually snapped her chain, tore her derailleur cage clean off, and fucked the derailleur pad too. She still claims that nothing happened, it was just like the chain came off while pedalling. How does this even happen?

is this another slurper stage where GC contenders coast until the end while we have le epic sprint finish

>>149756953
yes don’t waste gods day on this slop

>>149756945
clearly she's cheating on you

>>149756953
There will be echelons

>>149756945
Most likely scenario sounds like a worn out chain breaking and getting stuck in the derailleur, or a chain length that was too short for the poor derailleur to handle

Tour planners should be executed. They put absolute slurper stages on the weekend how fucking out of touch can you be

>>149756928
This is the only real explanation. Vismas were instructed to save energy in the time trial. Then they get btfo'd and the very next day they try to get their riders in the early break.

>>149756681
They don't have a guy that can win the tour that's why they're doing this and they know it

They got fucking shellshocked at the TT they're already down minutes and they will be more minutes down after the next TT which means any time they make good will be wiped again since Cringegard is a weak fuck compared to fully fit Pogi

The delusional was strong last year with everyone saying how many minutes will Pogi lose this time and I said at the start he will crush Cringegard it was visible to anyone who's actually been in the sport and doesn't just watch at home and then it happened and Cringegard cried into his fat ugly wife after every stage

This time he is even weaker, yet somehow you want us to believe the guy is competing lmao he's not even top 3 on this tour!

So basically when the stage goes like this

_______________________


I’m just gonna not watch it


I know….. UGH I know…. I’m sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s just that I’m not gonna watch it is all

>>149756945
too much tension for whatever reason

>>149757060
The first TT was completely flat though, the worst terrain for Jonas
The next one is almost entirely a climb, the best terrain for Jonas, though it's still too short to really mean anything
I don't see him beating pogi, but Remco is not gonna win the next TT
Most likely he'll lose like 20 secs to pogi

What upcoming stages will be worth watching?

>>149756939
Thanks will do. It seems that you kind of have to chute stupidly one or a few times when learning. The problem is that I have to go from practice 2 days to climbing cols or passages so not much time to learn.

Do you get the efficiency gains from clipless right away?

>>149757349
Not true, chuting while practicing is not obligatory. Just set the mechanism to easy unclip mode and you should be fine. It won't hinder your pedalling performance.

>>149757349
>Do you get the efficiency gains from clipless right away?
once you learn to not only push but also pull, you will notice gains, especially during climbing

>>149757449
>>149757466
Cool thanks. The suffering is going to be real this summer. Already looking forward to the scenery and descents though

>>149756945
at least it's not di2
my chain snapped before but there was no other damage. that was a long roll home like these guys

>2 flat stages during the weekend

If Napoleon won you wouldn't have to go to work tomorrow

>>149757627
monday is bastille day

>>149757449

One stationary chute whilst desparately trying to get your feet out of the pedals is a rite of passage for those first trying clipless.

>Thibau Nys: "It's crazy man. Okay, I'm not my best version. Sometimes I'm wondering: what are those guys doing the rest of the season? Why do I never see them? If you see how 'easily' I win sometimes. Everyone is racing 2-3 levels higher."
Is he retarded? Dude is doing shit small races all season

>>149757638
If Hitler won we would probably have a mountain stage today

>>149757638
Same here. Cologne was also a part of the empire. But instead we have some our national holiday on 3rd October when it's dark, grey and cold.

>The goal isn’t to do 21 super-tough stages,” he continued. “There are times when you have to lower the pressure, maybe slow down a little

I'm sorry but if youcomplain about flat stages you're a pleb.

>>149758445
I dont mind flat stages, its the stages without breakaways that kills me

>>149758430
QS should sell Remco to the highest bidder and get Wellens, Kung, Stuyven, Mohorič, Kooij, Senechal and Asgreen. Get the Wolfpack back to the top

>>149758430
Cattaneo is following Remco

>>149758490
Kooij is all but confirmed to Decathlon. That team would be really aggressive though. Maybe not the tightest unit but just blasting riders up the road constantly would be cool. Merlier + Dianese are decent sprinters for Tour and Giro. They could 100% return to their sprinting. They don't really have a choice either. They need to get through the next year or two and then I think they'll get their momentum back.

Almeida looks good

I only watch cycling for the peloton crashes

Surely the conti teams are not gonna be slurpers again.

I've been climbing clipless for years but I don't really believe that the pulling makes a meaningful difference, I think that's just a meme. I think the main benefit of clipless is the riding experience, you are more attached to the bike which gives a better feel and makes a high cadence easier to maintain

He's crying ;_;

Conti shitters crashing, they should have known that the breakaway is the safest place.

>>149759061

Fuck, rage is blinding me, when thinking about it.

Not the stem, I meant the shifter.
The shifting cable goes 90° into the shifter, which of course will frail depending how much you shift over time.
And of course that shit gets stuck in the shifter.
I probably didn't get out all the junk, installed the new cable, the shifter is broken now anyways.

>Yes, sunflowers can be used to improve soil health, acting as a beneficial cover crop. They are known for their deep taproots that help break up compacted soil, improve drainage, and cycle nutrients. Additionally, sunflower residues, including the roots, can be incorporated into the soil to add organic matter and further enhance soil structure.

Once again, Tadej Pogacar has to do it on his own against the Visma superteam. What a massive achievement for the underdog if he manages to hold on to the Tour victory.
Win or lose, his legend only grows.

As a guy that lives in the middle of farmland I started to detest farmers once I started to get to know them.
They would cut every tree and kill every bird for their open-air factories. They'll put the ground full of tubes to drain the water quickly, just so they can then spray water themselves when it's getting dry to create perfect micro environments at the cost of our drinking water and animal diversity. They're just turbo capitalists like every other company and they'll destroy everything.

As silent protest I'm growing trees and flower fields at the edges of my propery and their fields.
And growing food myself permaculture style.

>>149759913
Really cool. Do you have animals? Chickens are unbeatable. I was going to work on similar small organic farms around the UK. Many farmers are as you describe and what's more the food they produce is shitty quality, fast grown and little nutrients. I buy vegetables UK grown from the shop and it's awful and tastes of nothing but we get organic vegetable box every week which tastes so delicious.

People are so ill because even the normal healthy food they eat has far less 'health' in it than it did 30 years ago. It's the biggest unaddressed scandal of the 21st century IMO.

motorbike driver squeaking hard right now

Why does his belly button look like an erect clitoris

unless you are completely self-sufficient, it is incredibly hypocritical to complain about farmers. every fucking foodstuff you buy ultimately comes from farmers. so either you grow your own stuff, starve, or SHUT THE FUCK UP.

>>149760034
Yes and that's why british government are totally destroying them. Partially because they're communists but also because they hold power and land. Government is importing a million people a year and they want the land developed for decades to come. Low quality mass produced food being exported is hilarious, only for us to import more low quality mass produced shitty food.

Used to be kino because people grew their own foods but now everyone is worked like a dog, have no energy or time and no space to grow a few vegetables. Modern world is very anti-human. But at least the life expectancy is higher haha yeah that's really all that matters!

Who is complaining against farmers

>>149759974
I have 4 chickens, who give enough eggs for both my wife and me. I dug a pond earlier this summer and considering to add running ducks.
A dog and cat keep the vermon away.

I don't have enough land to keep animals like cowss or anything sadly.
Also have a greenhouse for grapes, tomatoes etc.. and some fruit/nut trees such as pear, apple, cherry, walnuts, hazelnuts, prume, elderberry, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry and of course strawberries.

I don't spray anything except natural stuff like nettlejuice etc.
My chickens walk around on my land for manure and getting rid of weeds.

There's nothing better than food grown in the dirt and given time. My basement will be full of canned food by the end of summer.

>>149760115
What brand of lack luster GMO crop do you grow? Or do you just lick the cow shit off the farmers boots?

>>149760036
it will happen anyway, pogi will probably win 2-3 more stages at least and get more points than intermediate sprints

suffering

probably worst first tour week in years

ana kuskova is a cute. whyd she delete her IG?

why can't i stop drinking beers?

don't mind me, just posting a cow farmer

>>149760115
I like farmers it’s mostly northern farmers who are just soulless in france atleast you get the roaming cows and sheeps cheese in belgium you get blauwhoofd a tasteless massive cow full of hormones eating and shitting on the same acre it’s entire life

>>149760115
I worked dairy in NZ and my old former in-law was a farmer. A litre of milk was selling for ~6 NZD (~£3) to the Chinese market in 2017-2019, meanwhile in this shit hole it goes for ~£0.47 p/l by current prices. Can't speak for GMO crop shite as I only ever worked livestock. Farms over there would be herds of 500-1500 and above, over here the commercialisation on that scale is non-existent.

>>149760135
That's a nice life. I see a lot of people will have a few meat chickens or rabbits too but that's if people can stomach the slaughter. It's not a nice thing to do unless you've grown up with it or are a bit psychopath. I always wanted to make my own cider and gin, I guess you could with all your produce. People are lusting after this lifestyle more and more I notice. I think people are done with the corporate life we're all encouraged to embrace.

>>149760178
tis warm michel

48.8 km/h average. Mathieu will just have to retire after this.

>tfw my best efforts are averaging 35kph over 2 hours
It genuinely shocks me when I see these guys averaging 55kph over longer distances than I ride daily, I just don't get how the human body can do that especially in summer heat. I know they're built different, using the best bikes in the world, with the best nutrition and training money can buy but still.

>>149760115
you can buy produce and still critize the way its made bert, not everything is black and white

It's laughable seeing all the retards complaining about farmers without having ever done a day of work on a field, greenhouse or orchard. You would immediately realize how hard it is to grow your sweet strawberries, tomatoes or spinach.

You soft office faggots wouldn't last a week doing it.

>>149760208
I suggested meat chickens and rabbits to my wife, but she said she wouldn't want to eat an animal she knew. So yeah.
I buy most of my meat from a bio initiaive though. The animals are grass fed, no antibiotics or other crap and they are only slaughtered when enough people ordered a "part of the cow/pig".
I always ask for cowfat which they give me for free, which I use to make tallow.
Sure the meat is more expensive, but if you look at history, we never paid less for our food than this day and age. And my health is worth some money, I'll gladly buy some less "things" if I can get quality food.

>>149760115
this is absolutely not true, you as a Kaaskop should be well aware of this, considering that there is nearly no natural environment left in your country and its just industrial agriculture and meat production. Farmers in the West are responsible for land degradation and biodiversity loss on a massive scale and have done so since land consolidation started in the 50-60s. Meanwhile many countries in the Global South are able to meet food demands using less conventional and industrial methods which emit a fraction of the CO2 emitted in the West (with the exception of drought ridden countries in Africa predominantly who depend on imports to meet demand). To think that just because farmers produce food, they should not be held accountable to standards that protect to common good is a nonsense.

>>149760340
more interesting than this stage

>>149760260
>you haven't sweated your ass off in a greenhouse so you can't complain about your drinking water and local environment being destroyed

But coincidentally, I have worked in a greenhouse and it sucks cock but it ain't that bad João

why do we hype up crosswinds
Jonas and Pogi never gets caught napping

I hate him so much.
GC pulling the break back on his own. I hate him so much. Biggest fraud I've ever seen in 14 years of watching pro cycling.

>>149760354
Correct. After WW2 there was a push for large scale industrial farming. To this day the scale of farms is increasing, still subsidized heavily; while small scale or bio farms struggle to survive. As I said earlier, they're just open-air factories, nothing less. There's a company that comes spray manure, there's a company that comes planting, there's a company that comes harvesting. All the farmers do (over here) is drive around with water and poison.

>>149759913
worst thing to happen to NL was the ruilverkaveling and the subsequent industrialisation of agriculture, it's unironically destroyed every last bit of nature in the country, but at least we get some genetically modified vegetables and cheap meat from animals that suffermaxxed

Amongst serious amateurs, doping is rampant.
There was a masters race in Florida, someone showed up in a fake USADA fan and 70% of the field didn't start.

>>149760234
the most astonishing thing to me with these sorts isn't their fitness, it's that they are almost always people with super demanding jobs like engineer, lawyer, doctor, etc.
How these people work these jobs, have a family and still have the energy to do 14-20 hours a week is just black pilling to the extreme to me.

And we haven't had food scarcity since. Go figure!!

Special shoutout to Prudhomme for making this shit as boring as fuck so the good people of /cyc/ didn't miss church on this beatiful sunday.

>>149760406
>All the farmers do (over here) is drive around with water and poison.
and complain about drought, or too much rain, or too few subsidies, or too expensive Bulgarians they have to enslave and lock up in their stables, or invasive X-Men super beetles that mutated in their monocultural greenhouses, so they have to buy more uranium and mercury to poison them, or that asbestos has become too expensive to feed to their cows due to EU, etc.

pogachud will be mad again

dumb riding from Visma

it depends
I don't complain too much about farmers here, because I know several. But it's a business like any other business.
The problem is capitalism, and sooner or later Europe will implode.
Just wait until we expel every Bangladeshi that picks up olives, tomatoes etc in the summer for 700€ per month. Food prices are increasing to their real cost, but now there's 7B people on the planet.

yeah that's fine, but there are too many foreigners in Europe that have nationality already. Just look at your football nt kek.
