throwback to simpler times

>>151899675
he didn't age 1 day

>>151899675
back when wout's knees didn't need to be censored

>>151899735
all three lads hold up well (except Wout's knee)

not long now lads

The Big 3
my have to go to the doctor. feel my temperature rising

Vingegaard:
>I'll be sightseeing for a few more days (in Japan) before heading home. I'm also enjoying being with my wife (Trine) and my children (Hugo and Frida). We'll be touring the country and will probably fly back to Denmark from Osaka.

First Dauphiné now this

>>151901302
Jonas-san is recharging

>>151902072
you have to look behind the mask, this is a anime website

>>151902072
Now apply board activity and populations, and you'll quickly realize the only active parts of the site are the anime and video game boards

>>151902115
>>151902162

>>151902035
I still call it Giro di Lombardia
also god what the fuck kind of url is www.inflandersfieldsmiddelkerkewevelgem.be are they actually retarded

>>151902736
Please do not deadname In Flanders Fields from Middelkerke to Wevelgem

>>151902518
is it Giro time? i think its Giro time

>>151902035
Wouter Vandenhoutte is a menace to society

>>151902035
>Middle kek

i both like and dont like Jonas is doing Giro
i like it because i want to see him win but also dont like it because its gonna be easy as fuck for him, no battle for the GC like this year

>>151903111
There was a battle?

>>151903147
yes?

>>151903111
There is the slim possibility Remco rides the Giro after his showing in the Tour this year. He could make it competitive and give Red Bull an injection of some excitement

>>151903163
memco can't climb

>>151903163
i have given up on the hope of GC god remco

>>151903162
Giro was already over at that moment Yates was flying WvA airlines +8minutes

>>151903175
>>151903181
Never understood this kind of reasoning. Remco doesn't do good in his last GT so that means he'll never be good in a GT again?

the Giro was so fucking good this year

>>151903111
I think he's starting to decline in comparison to others. He looks his best but other riders are going very strong right now. Like he didn't beat jowl as decisively as we thought he might. There is competition. He'll probably still win.

>>151903298
oh for sure jonas has between 2-4 years more as one of the top dogs, but then EVERYONE at the Vuelta was sick as fuck
i mean just looks at picrel lvl and then for the two weeks after he was a total different rider as was everyone else
Vuelta was kinda fucked

>>151903329
Vuelta was just a total mess in general. Surprised they're still starting in Barcelona next year for the tour. Seems like a very obvious bad idea.

imagine chuting in a prestige crit

>>151903558
Yes, well.

In the topic of military bicycles I'll have you now that I've had a bike issued to me by the Finnish Defence Forces. And at times it was our primary means of transportation. We even did bike marches.

And to the Belgian anti rice cooker chud, they're simply superior in every way. Not just cooking better rice but timing it so that your rice is ready as you get back from your ride or keeping it warm between meals.

Don't forget to replace the coin cell battery in your SRAM eTap™ AXS shifter before trying to ride your bike

>>151904532
Same here. Or they didn't have enough bike at hand for my platoon, so we were driven around. But the other platoons were riding everywhere.

my-coworker today thought the crit race in asia was a real race and was trying to cope as i told him that its just fake and gay

>>151904595
>fake and gay
Traditional and soulful you mean.

>>151904595
All races are real races to the autistically competitive

>>151904538
they once died on me on a ride (both at the same time) and I carry 2 spares in the saddle bag. but from riding in the rain a bit, they got rusty and didnt work anymore, had to ride home doing 110rpm at 15kph for an hour. good high cadence workout

>Jonas after returning from japan

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

>>151905116
im not even sure that Jonas knows what anime or manga is

>>151904595
it was real to me damnit

Wiggo's book is on spotify. fackin noice one
that's my bedtime listening sorted for the week

>>151905270
Listening to coke stories before bed seems trippy

>>151905965
its tomorrow bert

>>151906203
I forgot Mortens day and evening is not the same. N-no bully.

>>151906214
the fuck is morten's day

>>151906349
The actual day of St Martin of Tours. You know all the saints have feast days. For some reason we just hung on to the weird Mortenaften thing even though we don't venerate the saints.

fuck off-season
you're all fucking wankers
anyway, some drama:
The Portuguese Cycling Federation ended its contract with Podium Events for organizing the Volta a Portugal and related races due to repeated payment and contract breaches. The FPC aims to protect public interest and will soon define a new model.

>>151907582
What does it mean?

>>151907700
it means no one knows if there's volta next year
honestly, it really could use a changeup

>>151907741
Surely they will find a solution.
Nobody is more competent than the Portuguese Cycling Federation

>>151907582
At least we have cx and reruns of emtb races on repeat to tide us over

>>151907741
this is unacceptable

i got my first pair of assios mille shorts. jaws will drop at mount brap, but first, the forest needs clearing

>>151914747

where do you guys wear your heart rate straps? i tried the tits but right now its perched on my my gunt. thoughts?

Brandwinslol

Giro (both guys and girls) will be presented 1 dec

Seems like our good friend Orts is just a 3rd line shitter this year. Sad, after he was pretty decent last season I hoped he could go for a win this season

>>151916067
Nowhere, riding oldschool, only using speedometer

>>151916067
Under my tits. Like right where your bra band sits.

>>151916716
>where your bra band sits
B-bertina?!
Jokes aside why didn't God give me a blond awkward depressed finish gf with significant epicanthic folds...

Sweeck(?) wins

Giro 2004 stages 9-10-11

>>151916847
I'll get back to you if I find one.

>>151916836
>A five minute difference between the stage winner and second place

Must have been a hell of a solo ride

>>151916877
Didn't the peloton usually give jobbers a ton of time back then?

whos the smolest of them all?

>>151916894
I dunno I only started watching cycling in May

>>151916877
PCS claims 67km solo, so from 2km to the top of Peyrol.

>>151916955

>>151917834
Gaia REALINI is the smallest

>>151918323
she should sue UCI over the handlebar regulations

>>151918323
she is so washed pcs decided to mock her twice

>It's super fixed. It's so horrible to watch, because not one of the riders is trying to make it look like they're riding a bike race. They're just lying and greasing around in a low gear. They almost all drive small blades.
>It's more important that they sit with some bike helmet with a high hat on and flap on top in a sumo wrestling suit. That's what they're paid to do. So those bike races are just to get them (the stars, ed.) to come.
>I've thanked no a couple of times. This year they haven't even asked me. I don't want to spend time on it. Then you have to spend ten days first traveling to Singapore and then to Japan afterwards. Forget it.
>It's crazy. These are fucking shitty bike races. Never say never, but it's the last races I want to ride.

>>151918861
What an odd thing to get upset about, it's a sponsorship event and nothing more

>>151918861
Truly the Cannibal spirit: wanting to win even the Saitama criterium, when a more famous runner is on the startline.

>>151919066
who said he's upset. sounds happy out. clearly just shittalking on his podcast. wonder how much money he's turned down. maybe his wife is upset

>>151918861

this is a MAJOR scandal!!!

>After an hour of racing, an eight-rider breakaway formed. With 71 km remaining, Visma | Lease a Bike caused a split in the peloton, sending three of their riders across to the leaders. Over the Knokteberg, only Powless and the three Visma riders remained. Despite numerical superiority, Visma failed to drop Powless, who astonishingly won the sprint from a three-against-one situation.
super fixed surely
