>>149894413
at what km mark is pogi gonna launch his attack?

This time tomorrow
Where will Pogi be
On a mountain somewhere
Running thru a crowded sea

>>149894454
100km

>>149894373 (OP)
>>149894413
The only unipuerto of this very Le Tour
SAD!

>>149894465
he takes a look back
the fish is on the attack
but little does he know
soon this mountain will glow

>>149894480
ITT was a uniporto

>>149894489
ITTs don't count

>>149894480
>Landa
It still hurts

This is probably the last time we see Ventoux in a very long time

>>149894500
what's his health status? is he back training? which hospital is better, Vittoria-Gasteiz that repaired Jonas and Landismo or Herentals with their insta repair of collected riders?

>>149894506
Why?

>>149894532
too many Belgian boomers commit suicide by heart attack when trying to ride it up on their e-bikes.

>>149894465
Is he holding an invisible phone

>>149894580
has the don done any interviews on the memco predicament

>>149894589
I bet he wont clown on memco like he did on bennett.

>>149894465
I miss this lil nigga like you wouldnt believe

>>149894613
Maybe benett should win actual races

I don't think they will beat Mayo's time

>>149894454
0km

Fishguard will probably be replaced next tour

>>149894465
say what you will about the dawg but his outfit was peak compared to the full yellow skinsuits bullshit the riders wear (besides Jonas because he is mega based and oldschool)

>Carrier CMA CGM is Decathlon's new co-sponsor, replacing AG2R La Mondiale from 2026! This is an “equal” partnership. “Above all, the 2030 objective is to win the Tour de France,” reiterated Dominique Serieys, head of the structure.
A bit less attractive than L'Oréal but oh well

>>149894733
why exactly does a logistics company need a public marketing budget

>>149894717
wake up bro its 2033, tadej is about to win his 10th tdf
can't believe he is only ahead by 46 minutes

>>149894733
Match made in heaven if they're going to do the teams logistics

>>149894675
who's to replace him now that jorgenson has utterly failed?

knowers are aware of the true remco move

>>149894755
Roglic is likely on the market again. Full circle.

JUST

Watching Remco shorts on youtube.

What's the other soundtrack?

Tell me about Mont Pellier. Is it a tough climb?

If Wellens doesn't cheat and motopace, Simmons wins the stage and I net 1.1k. So Wellens needs to be involved in a heavy crash basically.

>>149895109
you're talking about tomorrow?

>>149895051
He has never struck me as extrovert enough to commentate.

>>149895157
Hasn't stopped Sean Kelly for 20 years

>>149894373 (OP)
predict how much slower will w*men be on Madeleine compared to the peloton

>>149895167
Sadly no. I rather watch commentators in a language I don't understand than the bong commentators.

>>149895117
The crash? Any day works, just want him hurt for basically robbing me, a collarbone at the very least or something.

>>149895189
xir, wellens didn't motopace, the only thing he did was to say in campy's wheel, but campy probably let him anyway since they are friends, maybe Simmons should make friends in the peloton if he wants help from others

How is the wind forecast for tomorrow? Probably relevent in how the stage will end.

>>149894532
Public will be too much

>>149895189
do us all a favor and extend your gipsy curse to all of UAE

>>149895389
20min to say no

>>149894413
Doesn't look that bad desu sempai.
You just need to push super hard from the start, take a good recovery on the Chalet Reynard 5,5% fragment and then push super hard again until you reach the summit. It's literally this easy.

Riis casts doubt on Vingegaard's future at Visma

Jonas Vingegaard has a contract with Visma until 2028, but that could be an obstacle. At least that's what Bjarne Riis thinks, agreeing with the Dane's wife, Trine Marie Vingegaard Hansen, that Visma should focus exclusively on Vingegaard in the standings.

- She and the agents should perhaps have thought a little about making the long contract for Jonas Vingegaard (it lasts until 2028, ed.), if she had those concerns, says Riis
bjarne please fuck off we said it here first

>>149894846
Shorts are longer than his Tour

>>149895860
>hire relative with no management experience as your agent
>they do a shit job and feud publicly with the team

every single time

>>149895860
Jonas is hate by his team mates thanks to his manager-

>>149895860
Trine would have less of an argument if any other visma rider had been successful at anything this tour. They have absolutely nothing to show for their efforts, so why not go all in on Jonas?

>>149895946
>remco having his dad get swindled into one of the worst contracts in modern cycling history and then getting pissy when he realizes his retard dad left multimillions on the table

>>149895730
i’m drunk of my ass again

>>149895964
actually yates is the only one that achieved anything for pissma this tdf, kek

Jonas attaque in Madeleine? Cracking Pogacar from far is the only way he can win

>>149895964
i mean syates did win a stage

Trine is much more fuckable than urska

>>149896069
can't actually argue with you on that

>>149895730
Felt inspired after seeing the brits pictures, turns out I still dislike making squeakers in gimp.

>>149896069
Pog is more fuckable than jonas tho.

>>149896115

Why are there no openly gay pro riders?

>>149896123
Ethan HAYTER is

>>149896123
It is kinda weird. Guess cycling makes it easy having a house wife at home, while you do your thing at small belgian races.

>>149895767
Does this mean I have an IQ of 120?

>>149896123
I keep thinking Harry Sweeny came out as gay but it turns out he's just a Reddit autist

>>149896069
trine is like 44 and a mother of two, give her a break

Sub 45 minutes tomorrow?

>>149896069
he's right

>>149896174
hard, it depends how much they move under peloton and when they attack

>>149896174
even if tadej tries to i dont think he'll be able to. weather looks to be ideal however for big numbers

>>149896170
Wtf she is almost 40yo, madman Jonas married 11 years older woman
Although she looks much younger

>>149896120
Urska looks skelly and has a male chin. Trine looks cute and prob has a fat butt and thighs

>>149896211
asians dont age on a similar scale this is known

>>149896217

are these supposed to be bad things

This woman is Tadej's property

>>149896217

>>149896217
is the brit schizo posting under a vpn?

>>149896277
Nope

Headwind tomorrow on Ventoux after the forest. Pogi should attack before Chalet Reynard

>>149896211
>From 2016 to 2018, a talented Jonas Vingegaard rode for the Skive-based cycling team, and here the young man in his early 20s quickly became fond of the ten-year-old marketing manager.
>“We were colleagues. I worked on the Coloquick cycling team, where Jonas also worked at the time,” Trine Marie Hansen tells B.T.
>Despite his humble demeanor, Jonas Vingegaard had a hard time hiding her enthusiasm for her colleague.
>“I’m an old lady, so I could see through him. I was a little reluctant at first, but then… Then we got it together,” laughs Trine Marie Hansen.
>The big age difference was not entirely without problems, however. The Danish cycling star invited the marketing manager out, though she had to think carefully before saying yes:
>“He was flirting with me for a while, but I thought he was far too young for me. But he has a heart of gold, so I couldn't stand that.

For me it's Isabella HOLMGREN

>>149896298
Bad news for squeekers, no record times will be set.

>>149896308
Why is her family larping as scandinavians?

>>149896308
Is she the anorexic sister or the sister who looks like she stumbled out of Treblinka?

>>149896317
It's still definitely possible. It's not a strong headwind either

>>149896307
>The owner of Coloquick, Brian Pedersen, for example, had no idea that the grimpeur and the marketing manager were an item.
>He told B.T. last year in connection with the celebration of Vingegaard's second place in the 2021 Tour de France.
>- Well, I can't remember exactly how the words came out, but I thought and said something like: 'What the hell?! Jonas. ...who Jonas? Well not that Jonas,' Brian Pedersen said.

For me it's Valentin MADOUAS

>>149896330
You say that like it's a bad thing...

We're already in week 3

For me, it is the vainqueur du Baloise Ladies Tour BÄCKSTEDT Zoe

You think the visma boys on their training rides are ever like "whoa did you guys see those hot babes there" and maybe flirt a bit with waitresses in the coffee stops the way young glib men in a group do and then vingegaard is like staring into nothingness waiting for it to end

>>149897307

I won't be watching tomorrow's stage.

A ventoux story
https://medium.com/@m_xl/the-gaul-pierre-kraemer-ac0d9e4fe937
>At the age of 56 Kraemer was told he had an incurable cancer. So in April 1983 he decided to climb Ventoux one last time. And there, near the top, where the road ran into a snowdrift, he got off his bike, sat down and let the cold take him away. They found him later, buried under a metre of snow.
I wonder if I will have what it takes for one last climb (there's some beautiful ones around here).
And you ?

>>149897503
how many memorials are there up ventoux

>>149897503
Mr. Kraemer, there was a mix-up with the X-rays.
Oh...

For me? Maybe the Teide

Guten Tag, mein Name ist Florian und ich fahre gerne Rad.

>The notion of dramatising the set-pieces extends to the Grand Departs, which have begun to conform to a pattern under Gouvenou’s stewardship. He has overseen launches in Yorkshire, Utrecht, Dusseldorf, Copenhagen, the Basque Country and Tuscany, amidst the traditional French openings.

>Conversations constantly arise over whether the Tour could support a Grand Depart on the East Coast of the United States, but Gouvenou is sceptical, raising issues with the logistics, rider welfare, and speculating that the wider roads in the United States may make designing unpredictable stages more challenging.

>“Personally, I would rather see it finish there,” he considers. “There’s such a significant time difference and it’s better for the riders going to the United States rather than back to Europe.”

Just dropped generational brown. A proper double flusher. Stains up the sides of the bowl. My gut was screaming "I'm Gone, I'm Dead", felt like I'd fallen off a bridge and landed on a brown pheasant

>>149897503
>So there’s often a moment on the top of a col when someone goes to stand behind the van for a minute to themselves; or, alternatively, a spectacular implosion, like a supernova becoming a black hole. That happened to me once on the Col du Galibier. I hadn’t eaten, and had toiled on my own interminably from the heat below into an ominous cold and gathering storm. Then, just near the top, Pharaoh Sanders started playing in my earphones, encouraging me to let go, and the deconstruction began. My vision darkened around the edges, the world collapsed in on itself, folding like an empty cardboard box into two dimensions and, trapped between a rock and the infinite sky, I let it all out. The hail fell from clouds dark as bruises all around me while two beams of sunlight, God’s fingers, arrowed diagonally from somewhere high above the mountain into the valley below.

New stage, new Girardengo victory

oh, she cute!

"What the fuck is he thinking? He is a little egoist"
- Bjarne Riis on Wout van Aert

After withdrawing from the Tour de France due to pneumonia, Dutch superstar Mathieu van der Poel made waves off the bike with a cheeky parting shot at rival Jonas Vingegaard during a mock press interview outside the team hotel.

“Of course I’m disappointed,” van der Poel said, bundled in a hoodie and sipping herbal tea. “But hey, I still got my stage win the old-fashioned way — with legs and coffee, not oxygen tanks and mountaintop monk rituals.”

When asked if he was referring to anything in particular, the Alpecin–Deceuninck rider smirked: “Look, I’m not saying Vingegaard sleeps in a spaceship, but when your hotel room has lower air pressure than the team bus tires, that’s... impressive.”

Vingegaard, known for his meticulous altitude training, declined to comment, though sources close to the Dane said he was seen chuckling quietly while adjusting the altitude setting on his mobile breathing chamber.

The UCI declined to comment on van der Poel’s remarks, though one official was overheard muttering, “It’s always the stage hunters with the best one-liners.”

>>149901393
with a captain who is utterly failing (vingegaard), the crew are allowed to jump ship.

>cyc using AI slops for their fake stories
This is an all time low I have to admit

Van Der Poel DNS today apparently

>>149897610
I'd rather have some mountain stages in Martinique.

that 170 km break-away at 50 km/h bit him in the ass.

>Mathieu van der Pole

shame the polish are losing all their riders

>According to El Diario de Mallorca, Juan Ayuso is already guaranteed not to take part in the 2026 Tour de France, even though he dreamed of being at the start in Barcelona because of his immense love for Barça, his beloved club.
>Movistar is hoping to recruit him and wants to break the 100 million euro clause, which no team in cycling is capable of paying.

>>149901596
worth it. We got to wittness some actual riding instead of big slurping or sprinter death

>>149901621
Literally all he had to do was pull for Pogi for a few minutes last year and he couldn't do it

>>149901621
>100 million
His best bet is ramming Pogi in descent to get fired

>>149901621
He is just scummy. Reminds me of rog. I thought people were being over dramatic in the tour, but it just kept going and I was wrong. How the fuck does he not realize how fucking retarded he looks ? Or is this just how ultra competitive people act - they don't care?

>turn on TV

Is today's stage any good?

>>149901735
They close the road at 13:00 or so when the caravan shows up and with nothing to do for hours they start drinking and thats why we get retards in duck costumes screaming bullshit at the riders.

>>149901757

I found this pic in the 2021 ventoux thread. how many vans did van zwan burn through already? also there wasn't too much squeaking about wout back then, I guess his 2022 performance started the squeaking.
