got any tips for the region?

>>150094717
Less. The generic truths around food are true. Less processed foods, less sugar, less fat. If it tastes good, cut it out. It's not rocket science, it's just hard to execute if you have no impulse control.

>>150094630
have you tried eating less

why dont you shave in the shower??

we live in Wroclaw

>>150094904
I will now

>>150094828
>If it tastes good, cut it out
That makes no sense

>>150094936
What? It makes perfect sense, as through most of human existence food with high caloric density was scarce as fuck and hunger and appetite were a vital core drive to keep humans alive. Now that drive leads us to eating exactly the things that are worst for our bodies, as they are abundant and overengineered to solely stimulate those cravings instead of satisfying our nutritional needs.

>>150094717
nothing but a healthy diet of burgers, bacon sandwitches and schnitzels

>>150094971
They are good for us that's why we like them.

>>150095013
you have never seen someone who drinks coke like water. obviously not true!

VERY excited to see if this very Tour of Polska 2025 will be the UWT stage race in which Christopher "Clive" FROOME returns to his 2021 form (47th in GC at the Dauphine)

>>150095013
Hopeless or shit troll attempt

>>150095105
Have you seen what remco eats

>>150095125
do tell

>>150095125
>doesn't know how to argue
Hopeless. Can you explain how this contradicts the information laid out by me? Moving more is one of the ways to fix your weight issue. If you match Remco's activity level, you can get away with not focussing on diet as much as you would have to with average levels of activity. I told you, you have options. You're either a combative brainlet or trolling in a very strange way. If you want to engagement farm, you can just offer some hot takes related to cycling instead of making it about your disgusting body and hair removal.

Surprised they let a .UWT race get away with that. I would think UCI would set higher standards.

>>150095547
On the other hand they have a coverage on the entire stage

it must truly must be awful living above the Med

>>150096298
Obviously it's hyperbole, but in the context of trying to explain food to an amerifat it's a reasonable shorthand. I love med food, even though one of your Portuguese witches ripped my fucking heart out.

nah, it's ok bro, I believe every country has nice food if you search hard enough
don't know about the local witches tbqh, haven't been with many but love my wife to bits, it's probably the person most admire in the world.

>>150096404
lol my wife genuinely looks greek face wise but with extreme white skin, like a finish person, even tho she has brown eyes and hair like a sub Saharan woman. very peculiar.
I dunno, maybe the cultural thing is whats getting you, prot countries tend to be more reserved and individualistic societies, while here family and the community is a BIG aspect of life

>>150094616
What is work. This weird obessions of normies to slave away half of their life is surreal to me. All that time couldve been filled with cyclismo instead.
Paypigging does not get you more cyclismo sirs, only more worries.

>>150094616
Working from home Gang

I'm at the office but still watched most of stage and posting here and elsewhere

>>150097359
Work is the modern religion. Normies do not exist without work. It is much of what they discuss in my experience.

>>150097532
If no one worked, how would you get your neetbux?

Just back from my 5 hour goon. What'd I miss

>>150097556
I wish I could live from neetbux, but German neetbux are too low so I keep slaving away in my soulless middle management consulting job instead. You'd think top 10% income would afford you more than mediocre quality of living, Can't imagine what neetbux qol is like these days

>>150097588
I get 1200 a month but I live at home so that's good. Likely I'd have rent paid for in a grotty apartment. Considering I have all time to myself I am very glad and although others have more spending money, it's not much more and would I trade an extra 400 a month for 40hr of waging? No absolutely not. If you can get away with neeting then it's absolutely the way to go and only ones who scoff at it are turbo wagies.

>>150094789
I sort of make it up as I go. I wanted to try central masif because I've never really been here. I wanted to put it on my route on the way to the pyrenees so I don't have to drive 12 hours in one day but it's a nice area.

The climbs aren't very hard but the landscape is pretty cool and distinct compared to most of your regular mountainous regions.

The puy mary is a must do, cool climb you can do from 3 sides, the puy de dome looks cool but you aren't allowed to climb it because it's protected so that's too bad

>>150097774
nice wheels, what are those?

>>150097612
>I get 1200 a month
That doesn't pay for anything resembling quality of life, even if I were to downgrade to the absolute essentials
>I live at home
That's out of the question for me personally
>extra 400
Try 4000, and it still feels like nothing. Then again I'm discounting the 400 bhp car, the supersports bike I never ride and the area I rent in. Maybe I should restructure and look into giving up entirely and going for the neet life, sounds appealing.

Sorry for blogging, I'll shut up until Vuelta

>>150097801
Everyone is different. I had a nice car I bought a sporty hatchback, I sold that last week partially to save money. You could probably work part time hours or something similar. I found when I worked I spent recklessly because I was so miserable at work and wanted to fill that with stuff, be it expensive food or trinkets. I spend very little now.

>>150097801
What sport bike does cyc?

>>150097795
They are lightbicycle 45cm deep carbon rims for road. I bought the wheelset in 2020, no issues yet. Dt Swiss 350 hubs

>>150097835
I don't think I understand the question. I might have worded it poorly, but my motorcycle is a bigger cost factor than my bicycle (which I also don't ride enough).

In the circumstances that he is going there as part of AG2R La Mondiale Decathlon Citroen team.

>>150098157
>Under what circumstances
Trine goes apeshit and the fisherman retires

>>150098157
He's not staying, but if he would be staying I'm pretty sure visma lab would take him to the next tour to fluff up their 2nd place in GC with some stage wins

>>150098264
Chances of him signing with Visma for next year are nil.

Evenepoel always has this me against the world seethe attitude. Funny

big dinner tonight my Berts
thank dog I did loads of cycling this past week

>>150098324
holy shit pinot noir with alvarinho is soooooo good

>>150098396
Mixed together??

>>150098408
yeah, some kind of rosé my uncle bought
though it was a meme tbqh but it's perfect for these summer afternoons

They really need to lean into the coomer market when it comes to woman cycling. It has no other appeal. Men are too horny to watch it normally. Women don't give a solitary fuck. All you got left is the humble coomer.

>>150098547
I give a fuck

>>150098324
Thank my dog everyday bert

>>150098565
Jose? Is that you?

>>150098547
Trend is away from any coomer appeal in women's sports. The female atheletes' clothing is increasingly conservative, and frankly, the female cyclists are among the least attractive female atheletes there are. Haggardly face from being in the sun all day, and breasts small due to low body fat.

I think women cycling should lean into the more race-craft and higher power angle, instead of the coomer gambit

my coworkers were talking about PFP's victory today at lunch and non of them seem like coomers to me

>>150098593
Brian Holm huh. There was something about him, a certain je ne sais quoi

>>150098689

they really go for this great by association stick

>>150098547
the cute ones are not good riders. womens cycling is interesting as a difference in difference study. it's plenty interesting if you care about sports performance as a science

>>150098689
i hope this was written by AI, not by a human being

>>150098807
track is a different sport. Plenty of cute track femmes

>>150096892
I'm from the norf so I'll just probably make a cheeky visit to the prologue
will probably be the stage with the lowest temperature as well

Cat Ferguson's the reigning RR and ITT champion in her age category and she won a WWT stage this year

>>150098834
>>150098838
I wouldn't, I don't follow womens road racing

>>150098593
Meanwhile PFP wins the Tour de France on her first time with visma lab with two Dutch sport directors. And Pogacar was generally more isolated than Vingegaard in the key moments.

How much more help does Vingegaard need? Maybe 7 Danish helpers that all took a blood oath, a Danish sports director with Trine in the passenger seat and his kids in maxicosies in the back seats.

>>150098845
You have to understand, if his teammates had supported him fully he wouldn't have dropped +2mins on the itt.

>>150098807
She is the ultimate cute

>>150098689
Holy cringe, I'm assuming Poggers PR team never responded to this shit?

>>150098845
Their whole plan from the beginning was to tire out the peloton so Wout could mog everyone on stage 21. It worked perfectly. Bravo Visma. And as a bonus the annoyed Pog so much he withdraws from the Vuelta so Jonas gets and easy win. Double victory.

I really like Pauline's voice.

>>150094676
>Belgians
UCI won't do anything

>>150094676
bugs bunny tactics

Cat Ferguson nude calender. These are the ideas that'd skyrocket women cycling.

Would you buy a Ricarda plastic sex arse? I would.

I'm constipated. My belly is growing really big.

This girl finished top 10. Significant sex appeal. She could easily release sexy lingerie aimed at sporty women. Hell I'd even buy some.

>>150099080
Will make extra strong coffee in the morning.

On a side note it's striking how many germans posted about femmes yet they didn't have anyone in the top 30 and they didn't take a stage. That was strange maybe the coomer market is Germany.

>>150099135
Just drink extra strong coffee now. What could go wrong?

>>150099180
I'm drinking beer

>>150098845
This sounds reasonable

Do you think Jonas manages to give Trine an orgasm?

>>150099042

>>150099332
Jonas and Trine remind me of the plapjak meme.

Where should Vingegaard go for a new team? Visma is the most retarded team I've ever seen in 15 years of watching pro cycling.

>>150099399
Strong facial structure and muscle faces. A lot of them have fairly broad shoulders. Slightly more masculine in general than most women and objectively more attractive because of it. Androgynous is the most sexually attractive type for men and women. The petite popstar or movie stars from the 50s is long dead. Not that people like fat arsed hippopotamus like women. Modern female track athletes are the pinnacle of female attraction.

>>150099364
She doesn't have pooey shit eyes like Spears seems to have so she's better in my books. Although I genuinely don't know what colour these are. Very dark green hazel eyes or something. Needs to get her face creams on point ASAP or she'll age like a pig.

>>150099594
Have you seen his results before he joined Jumbo? He owes them his career

>>150098593
Talking about teammates and all makes sense if you're the strongest because you need a strong team to defend yellow but here? Jonas needs to drop Pogi first of he wants a chance to win

>>150099609
i dunnobro touch grass or something life really isn't what you've been fed through a /pol/ thread

>>150099963
>"hey dude like I don't care about anything I take nothing serious"
Peculiar acting like a trendy teenager on cycling discussion thread. Masculine women are more attractive. That's probably the least pol take of the century, they secretly list over 12 year old with the 'trad' nonsense. If trannards had wombs they'd be my first pick.

I now take a can of sardines with me on long rides. I know they don't have any carbs but they taste good and they fill me and they keep easy in a back pocket and they aren't affected by the heat and they are healthy and good for you

Don't try to eat them on the bike though

>>150100040
you can lube your chain with them as well and probably some guy called Jonas from Denmark cut the fish. truly a win-win situation.

>>150100022
lol no
they really got to you bro
yes you're right your opinion is absolutely representative of reality
you do your bro I bet the actual real people you know can't wait to hear from you, and if they don't it's because everyone else is wrong because they don't understand the world as well as you

>>150100022
all that shit about ssris making you gay is true huh

>shoes on the carpet
gay

why do people constantly say that lighter riders go up hill faster?
if you have a 80kg 6w/kg rider and a 55kg 6w/kg rider and they both do that power up a climb, they will both go up at the same rate

are smaller riders just generally fitter like they more often hit that 6w/kg?

>>150100469
the 80 kg rider will be faster

>>150100189
Here's an ULTRAGAY

>>150100469
No, you've pierced the veil. Don Brailsford is currently fatmaxxing his squad to 120kg. A 6W/kg FTP is, what, 720W? How hard could that be?

>>150100496
do you mean because of the total proportional weight of the bike and water/food?
so why are light riders faster up hill?

>>150100499
imagine the smell

>>150100521
At the same W/kg, the heavier rider will be faster because aerodynamic drag and rolling resistance still matter on a climb and are (nearly) independent of weight.

The best climbers tend to be on the lighter side because aerobic capacity does not scale favorably with increased muscle mass.

>>150100521
because they almost always have significantly higher W/kg, end of story
similar to lifting where tiny manlets always lift significantly more weight per bodyweight than the big bois

Dzień dobry and welcome to another WT stage race and another round of sensational /WORLD TOUR WINE/ (bier) !!

Poland is obviously a vodka and beer country, so we will be taking a brief hiatus from wine after so many good bottles recently. This is BIG news for the /cyc/ office expense account.

Today's beer is from Miroslaw, a small town 150km north of today's stage between Wroclaw and Wieliczka.

Komes Baltic Porter ($6.50)

This is a Baltic Porter, which is a smooth, dark, highly-alcoholic lager made with darkly roasted malt. This is a style of beer that originated in the Baltic states, copying the style from Imperial stouts of English origin. It is one of the most popular dark beers of Polish breweries. Interestingly, this one has a funny little guide on the back telling you how the flavor changes if it is aged, but there is no obvious indication of when this bottle was brewed, so it's not very helpful.

Pours dark brown with auburn higlights. The foam has a compact mousse, not much head. The nose is sweet, with roasty caramel and raisin, perhaps light oak? The palate has a lovely mouthfeel with chocolate, coffee, and dark cooked fruit with a dry, hoppy finish. Despite all the rich flavors, the body is only medium and there is a bitter, hoppy finish that keeps it balanced. It is opening nicely in the glass. The 9% alcohol is totally hidden on the palate.

Really good...definitely light on it's feet for a booze bomb porter.

>>150100469
on long climbs the main issue is your ability to pump oxygen into your legs
(this is always important in cycling)
So we can translate w/kg to pump/kg
So a little guy needs to pump less since he weigh less.
All the great riders have some freak pump genetic
You're basically watching a sport to see who has the best pump ability but then they dope and use motors so it's even more retarded to watch it
You might as well just measure their VO2 max then weigh them and declare the winner
Plugge can charge tickets to see that and cut out the ASO middle man. no need to close down traffic
incredible that this can be called a ""sport""

>>150100902

>>150099154
I had to cope with the disappointing men's tour, so this was the first year I got somewhat interested in the femmes version. Poggers gave me PTSD, but the French girls saved me.

>>150099609

>Modern female track athletes are the pinnacle of female attraction.
This is correct. Also, right has to be shooped, Ariana would never let herself go like that.

This is problematic.

>>150101187
How does overall money generated around the tour stack up for men vs women? I'd be surprised if it was lower than 10:1

Where does Remco rank on the all time charts?
He's a 2x Olympic gold medalist
1x road World Champion
2x TT World Champion
2x LBL champion
1x Vuelta champion
As well as lots of stage races and other one day races
And he did all this by 25

>>150101187
And she brings in less than 10% of the fans that Pogi brings in and she sells less than 10% of merch and memorabilia and other things that Pogi does and I can guarantee you no one is going out and buying a Cervelo because of her like they are going out and buying Colnagos because of him

>>150101187
no it's not. people who complain about this secretly just want to cancel women sport.

>>150103503
He's Belgian champion, so one of the best eber

hmm

>>150103503
his palmares are very interesting because he has a distinct lack of "B tier" wins; all his victories are either the ones you mentioned or "C tier" races like Benelux, Algarve etc. He has never won a [real] WT one-week, and has never won against Pogacar or Vingegaard in a real race [correct me if im wrong]. Most riders of similar palmares [even when said palmares are stretched over a 15 year career] at some point were arguably the best in the world at GC/classics/sprinting. See Cav, Ulle, MVDP etc etc.

Call it misfortune of being in the Vinge/Pog era, but his palmares is built upon farming all the races that they don’t do. Also I don't value TT wins that much, especially when his competition is just Ganna [and FOSS].

>>150104468
It has nothing to do with pogi/jonas, he lost a duaphinée to roglic, a paris nice to mateo, a Suisse to Skeljmose. For some reason he'll show up 3-4kg overweight in most of the races I guess he has a hard time eating properly.
The thing is he's not that strong in term of pure w/kg, but he is extremely aero which make his solos very hard to counter in one day races. Also he had decent lucks for some of his big wins (Liege without pogi, grug in WC + cavagna)

>>150104551
I agree, for whatever reason he is consistently terrible at high level one-weeks.

>It has nothing to do with pogi/jonas
he would probably have won the tour and lombardia in 2024 alone without pog/jonas, it'd be difficult to say exactly what else he would/could've won because of how much it would change things but he would at the absolute least be in conversation as the best GC rider in the world. even if he's not consistent he's shown that he has the on-paper potential to show up to a GT and be by far if pog/jonas dont show up

>>150101113
Surprised she's still given attention even she's so skinny and unhealthy looking. Apparently she went mad after the Manchester bombing. But she deserves a miserable fate after singing >don't look back in anger

Absolutely foul woman.

Forgot pic, leaner than some tdf male riders.

>>150104468
Last 3 years big results are quite the fluke, it will now be counterbalanced by 3 year of mediocrity

>>150105027
one can hope. he's getting too big for his shoes

>>150104697
He's about to be eclipsed by lipowitz. He peaked last year. Commercial point of view he really fucked up with public islam when his fans are generally white upper working class belgians.

He may still go strong until he's 30, but I doubt it. And he'll retire at 28 setting the stage for much earlier retirement.

>>150105168
i mean even if last year was his peak he's still in a position to win worlds+euros ITT every year and clean a couple lesser GC's with multiple GT stage wins. I don't expect him to randomly regress from this level, unless Tarling shows he's The One he has can comfily farm for the next few years and still be a top class runner.

>>150105168
>white upper working class belgians

no matter how much money the flemish make, they will always remain peasants. that's what makes them so charming.

>>150104468
TT's are worth less than a kermiskoers. It should be part of cycling. Its a different discipline just like track or mbx or whatever. TTT can be argued about but TT's should just be removed and become their own niche discipline.
If you take meme's too seriously, normies start to notice it and it becomes a problem; just lile women cycling

>Demi Vollering had the final say after she was accused of living in a 'gilded cage' during the Tour de France Femmes, refuting suggestions she is 'a drama queen' and that the criticism comes from those who do not know her.
>Vollering has been involved in a number of fallouts in the Netherlands national team and left SD Worx-Protime for FDJ-Suez after a series of issues in 2024, including the polemics after her crash during the Tour de France Femmes.
>"I’m being hunted for this, I think a little bit, especially in the Netherlands," Vollering said.
>"I have the feeling I have this stigma around me that I’m a little bit of a drama queen, or how you want to put it. But in the end, I think, if you ask my teammates, they will always say different.
>"I think it’s also someone who doesn’t know me who says something like this. I cannot blame him [Van Emden], because he doesn’t know me, so he can say that from the outside."
>Vollering finished 3:42 behind Pauline Ferrand-Prévot. She will now take a break, but she promised to work to improve for the 2026 Tour.
>"Now we need to recover and rest, and then we go back to the drawing board and see what we can do better for the coming year," Vollering said.
>"It's not only being a good climber that makes you a good rider. You need to have every kind of skill, and this Tour de France was maybe more for the pure, pure climbers. We don't know what's next year, so never say never."
>"Everything went really well as a team, so I'm really proud of that, and at this moment, that makes me very happy."

>>150105591

I thought I knew him from somewhere. He is to Tour of Slovenia what Cavendish is to Tour de France.

>>150105591

there were like 3 real mountains in this whole "grand" tour

>>150105604
Groenewegen has only the same number of stage wins as the great Boštjan MERVAR though (for now)

>>150105563

He's probably just there to rack up points in 1.pro races to get WC

https://www.instagram.com/rouleurmagazine/p/DM7BjO0NNp-/
>"Everyone prepares the way they want. For Roubaix I was much heavier because I knew I needed to be heavier to have power on the flats,” Pauline Ferrand-Prévot responded when questioned over her preparation for the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. “For this race I knew I had to climb for one-and-a-half hours over the Col de la Madeleine [on stage eight] and I tried to make the most of it. You need to adapt to the terrain you have.
>"I also know that this shape that I have now I will not keep forever. It’s just for the Tour de France. It’s also my job to be the best as possible. We know this is an endurance sport, and to climb you need to have a [high] watts per kilogram. I made the choice, I worked hard for it.
>"I don’t want to stay like this – I know it’s not 100% healthy,” she continued. “But we also had a good plan with the team’s nutritionist and everything is in control. I didn’t do anything extreme and I still had power left after nine days of racing. It’s a tricky subject because you have to find the limit, but I also know I can’t stay like this forever. It’s the choice I made."
>The 33-year-old admitted that she had noticed the influx of comments about her appearance on her social media: “I had quite a lot of complaints on Instagram about it, people saying I was not a good example for young people. But I also think parents should educate their kids and say to them, ‘Pauline is like this because she’s preparing for the Tour de France – it’s not forever’. Everyone needs to understand that it’s also our job to be the best as possible. I just do my job the best way I can and that’s it.”
And they want us to "femmes" seriously. This concerns do not exist in male cycling, Pogacar has lose and gain weight every year, and this is taken for granted as a normal way to achieve peak perfomance. But when use exactly the same tactic, there are "concerns".

Vingegaard should be fed to lions

>>150105633
>people saying I was not a good example for young people
lamo, who cares about being a "good example", when kids got all kind of degenerates as their "role models" nowadays and no one says shit. fuck these "people"

>>150105620
To Be Fair that's 1/3 of the stages. also no TT

>>150105642
why do the pros go over the speed limit in competition? have they considered that this is a bad example for young people? personally i think all cyclists must follow the speed limit at all times during racing

so pogi will wear the wc road or tt jersey next year?

>>150105666
beside, maybe it's good for so called young people to realize one simple truth that in real life you often have to min-max to be successful

>>150105642
She takes wonderful care of her tree grabbers. She's an amazing example

I just ate a double cheese birber with fried onions and cream sauce. Then fries and a BIG coke. Why am I doomed to be a disgusting fat bodied amerimutt?

>>150105633
>Pogacar has lose and gain weight every year
he's probably one of the riders whose weight fluctuates the least over the season
PFP Roubaix-Tour difference is quite striking, meanwhile Pogi looks basically the same

>>150105633
Pogi isn't really a good exemple as he's still almost chubby. Also being at a really low bf is way more dangerous for women than for men. These skinny girls barely have periods

>>150105784
Female athletes not having periods is a given, no matter the sport. Perhaps expectations should be lowered, instead of marketing female cycling as equivalent to male cycling, if women are just more fragile. Treat it like child sport, nobody expects the 15 year old to sacrifice as much as an adult does, and likewise nobody treats the U15 winner as achieving the same thing as the non-age-restricted-category winner.

>>150105784
Men also lose their reproductive functions, it's just less talked about. Being super lean for too long makes you unable to get erections and ejactulate. This happened to me in college when I decided to remain at race weight for close to a year.

>>150105842

Asking for 'pets' is barbaric like we're in the roman times. Although I think it meant older horses, cows, pigs etc instead of dogs and cats. But I saw guinea pigs mentioned. Danes are psychotic, bestiality was legal there until recently. Freak nation. I realise the anglo is actually the master race on account they don't eat disgusting shite and they treat humans and animals well. Horses for example are shown respect due to their heritage. Not shagged, not fed to lions alive.

chute Jungels, Vacek

packlist for tomorrow is ready, now I need to somehow fit this all on me bike (tent and sleeping matt are already on)

>>150106112
what do you think happends to those old unwanted cows, pigs, horses etc in bingbongland? they get incinerated or sendt to the soap factory
also aint no one giving up their dogs or cats to the zoo, they are simply too small animals and worthless when it comes to food for lions and such, what the CNN twists is that horses, cows, pigs etc are pets instead of animals that farmers have and its the farmers that donate these old animals not Karen and her 9 cats
use your brain schizobrit

I blame the Amer*cans for misconstruing the story for outrage bait.

>>150106141
Why are you packing girls shoes?

i think it was 2 days ago the zoo in question showed off their meat cooler with all the chopped off parts from the donated animals on national TV

>>150106141

Those Decathlon headlamps are nice, I use them for my climbing trips too. Great value for money.

>>150106142
Yes but that gives me more content to explain how Anglo's are morally superior, so it does mean pets. Maybe we'll even slip in there the chronically disabled in the true 'glo media fashion. But still, with pig or cows they just get slaughtered with a bolt gun then processed for whatever they are going to use it for. So why would they give a live creature? Cows don't get 'old' the milk cows stop being useful so are slaughtered for dog food and glue. Pigs are raised for death, equally the breeding pig is then killed for animal feed.

So I don't know where they're getting the idea people just have spare unwanted animals they can feed to lions in the most barbaric fashion possible. That is psychotic medieval tier.

Don't make sense asking for free stuff when it's already available.

Rusbertbros...my condolences...

>>150106275
they are asking for free stuff because they want to be seen as "green" and "enviromental" and "natural" its all a big show because of the shit that these ecoterrorist-groups constantly gives zoos here

The beginning of the end of his career

>>150107023
he lives for that
>>150107029
he had the second highest uci score last season what is a success I think he won’t beat quickstep Remco

>>150107127
they got rid of their bald fraud. redbull take over begins now

you now remember Lazkano
BIG 2026 coming for him

The germs aren’t taking it well kek

>>150107139
Why is he changing teams then

>>150106982
Ah shoot.

>>150107171
Money, all his failed GT’s had a story anyway so I really don’t see how he can
blame his team.

He used his last years to set the team and his successor up for failure on purpose, right?

Soudal's statement on Evenopoel's departure.

>>150107203
am I going blind or is that a brutal font choice?

How mad will remco be when lipowitz rides away from him at the tour next year?

The Liporat better hurry to get off this sinking ship

>>150107194
they had more tour de france stage wins than visma, you call that a failure?

>>150106091

someone give me a qrd on this unibet tietema rockets team and what makes it special

>>150107670
just watch their youtube videos

>>150107697
Oh they're one of those influencer teams

I think ultimately this transfer could be cool, it probably means evenepoel will have to forego the spring classics and focus more on stage racing, its going to be interesting what the bora boys can do with remco on his GC quest

>>150107344
Genuinely one of the most unbearable people on the planet, I hate him so much

>>150107227
No, its a shitty font.

>>150107385
did you drink the strong coffee?

>>150108041
He gets more attention in the off season than in the actual season

>>150108138

>>150107840
Yes

>>150108477
His GC leader had the race well in hand even before the big mountain stages begun. He was never caught behind a break or echelons. That was Pollitt's job - protect Pogacar on the flat stages.

So will happen with LipoGOAT now?

Cheeky Giro win innit

Damn, just read about Enric Mas having to miss the vuelta. I guess even if vingegaard manages to somehow win, it'll be asterisked

>>150109433
Appearantly Remco made the decision that Lipowitz is allowed to stay on the team for at least another year

>>150109433
the knower says he should go to INEOS

Why are brits so prone to being such gigantic kwabs?

Nice try kitty kat, but *blocks your path*

Turning 40 in a couple of minutes. Don't make fun of balding people. It will happen to you as well.

I'm over 40 and I'm not bald.
happy birthday, baldie

>>150110539
It's not that bad.
Welcome to the 40s!

>>150110539
joles on you i’ve been balding for decades

>>150110539
I was bald at 24 you low test loser lmao

>>150110539
happy birthday

>>150109863
I'm gonna email him my poop, or my Uzbeki cute. Haven't decided which yet

I have good hair that is expected to last into my 80s if I make it that far, but other than that I'm a total loser. I'd rather be bald(ing) but successful

>>150110664
Beyond Based

>>150110539
Happy birthday.

I'm not balding. I just have a very recessed harline.

>>150110756
What is success? What society expects? What your social circle expects? Money? Job? A family?
Success for me is not falling asleep after showering.

This is what I look like at 30 (plus moustache)

>>150111061
I like this based Belgian, hopefully you stick around (unlike Maarten)

>>150105005
That's so sad, she used to be very hot for the longest time and could have aged very well with her attributes and body type, similar to Kate Beckinsale. Oh well

>>150106422
>bikes designed around min-maxing for speed
>let's ride it on shit roads
>also let me just use it as a mule for my camping trip
I don't understand this. Is a racing bike really the best foundation for this type of use?

>>150110539
hbd friend wishing you health and another 40 even balder years

LEITÃO will probably win, but I choose to believe in REIS

Why does she have a pic with Kwabecky up if she hates her?

>>150115016
to remind herself that she hates her

>>150115016
negative reinforcement motivation

>>150115016

Very cute dog

Do we think QS will look for another GC leader to implement in their climbing train, or will they just focus entirely on stage wins again with sprinters and breakaway specialists

>>150115386
I think they should get a decent GC contender for week stage races, but chasing GTs seems like a fool's errand

>>150109758
Absolutely rooting for him, I feel him deeply. He said sometimes it's hard walking up the stairs. I understand that. Even if you force yourself on the bike you just can't push the pedals. I'd do 15 minutes on the trainer and just completely give in, and it'd be totally exhausting.

Then when you feel like you can't push yourself and do what's needed, what is the point? Why settle for less if you can't reach your best? What is the point when you can't string a good year of training, or even a month? People take the piss but this is probably the worst illness you could possibly have because you're physically capable but the brain just will not allow it. You can't enjoy hobbies, you can't make any progress in anything. And then people just cannot fathom the situation and accuse you of laziness and weakness. You are weak in those states but it doesn't define you, you are what you are at your best. He is probably a very strong, dedicated person who's been inflicted with a hellish disorder.

>perfectionist

And this proves that, but it took me years to realise that striving for perfection and 100% is not realistic for me and then you begin to improve enormously and see small things as goals, like my meagre 300w for 10 minutes. That was elating because I hadn't trained in a year and just got back on the bike. He is on the right track. Chasing the small wins and doing what you can. I wonder if he's medicated, I'd assume so. I wonder what medications. They should get him on ADHD meds to stim him up top function even with a lower mood.

I was miserably depressed for a week now and drank 2 weak cider last night and forced myself out this morning. Feel miles better. God speed to him, he will make it. Just shows his strength of character to be in the shitter and then still try to emerge, publicly too.

>>150115386
They already have a top5 GC man in Landa

>>150115386
they'll probably try to get someone half decent at fraud one week gcs, but they'll probably go back to stage hunting and classics, going for gts now is a suicide mission

Just trimmed the hair in my ass crack and now my farts are loud as fuck. Not sure I recommend. Atleast choose a medium length setting on the razor system to keep some coverage.

>>150109657
To decathlon would be an incredible move for the spectacle. I was super impressed with them this tour and with a strong rider behind them they're a real force to be reckoned with. Gall is obviously not that guy who can fight for a podium. They managed the race well and took their chances to pull. They disappointed without a stage win but their GC riding was impressive to have so many riders in the final climb on a few occasions.

I sense there is a lot to be gained by riders in that team too so it's unsurprising to see them try 100%

>>150115386
QS are done. They are Movistar or FDJ tier now. Maybe get some decent results here and there but mostly irrelevant.

>>150115550
Wait until you get a bit sweaty too, they are squelchy

>>150115536
The whole reason the tour was a success was because of their sprinting success and the win on ventoux. Remco TT win was nice, sure. It'd be a magical tour if he finished top 3 but he is not reliable enough. Saying that, how could they have done better without Remco? That is -1 stage already and he has a 25% chance of actually getting top 3 I'd say. Losing Remco is a flat loss in this regard, they cannot top this tour for a long time.

>>150115386
They already have landismo

>>150115386
classics. they already have plenty of mid [other then landa] GC runners anywhere. van wilder, schachmann, vansevenant etc

>>150115386
I hope they don’t waste resources on GC,
Bertaczek also DGAF about it so I doubt they’d keep chasing that dragon

>>150115579
>squelchy
Then, what's the point? It does even seem like its more hygienic

>"We are finalizing talks about one of the biggest world events - Giro d'Italia "Grande Partenza".
An event that changes the country that hosts the start, puts it on the world map in terms of tourism and recognition as a destination. It is one of the biggest sporting events," said Tourism Minister Miroslav Borshosh at a briefing at the Council of Ministers today.
>This concerns the start and three special stages of the cycling tour of Italy. This year, Albania is hosting them. Borshosh specified that next year, three stages will be held in Bulgaria, which will cover dozens of municipalities, crossing almost the entire country. He said that the date, routes, stages and budget are still subject to discussions, but the benefit for Bulgaria will be enormous.
In unrelated Bulgaria news, UCI sanctions two personnel of Bulgarian cycling federation, for corruption related offenses.

>>150115731

>>150115731
The giro is my favourite grand tour. This year it started in Albania, but I don't know if it boosted their tourism very much

>>150115786
The roads looked shit, the cities and towns looked shit, they killed a bunch of dogs, the people were quite ugly. They have nothing to show off in Albania. It was dreadful.

>>150116218
Why wouldn't? UCI has rules how long a race is allowed to be, how many stafes it is allowed to have, creating a universal standard for categorizing climbs isn't a reach.

>>150116214
climbs rating should be relative to the terrain of the parcour, literally nothing worng with this
